CARRY ON CHAIR BY JAKE LUNDER

Seen during Fuorisalone 2026, the Carry On Chair by designer Jake Lunder rethinks the concept of portable furniture through a minimal and intelligent approach to contemporary living.
The project combines functionality, mobility and sculptural simplicity into a lightweight folding chair designed to move effortlessly between spaces. Inspired by travel culture and compact living, the chair transforms everyday seating into an object defined by adaptability and clean architectural lines.
Its refined construction balances industrial precision with tactile materials, creating a piece that feels both practical and collectible. The Carry On Chair reflects a growing design interest in flexible objects that respond to changing lifestyles, temporary environments and nomadic ways of living.
At Fuorisalone 2026, the chair stood out for its understated elegance and smart engineering - a contemporary design piece where portability becomes part of the aesthetic language itself.

ÈREITÀ VASE BY ANTOINE SEGUIN

French designer Antoine Seguin explores the relationship between objects, territory and craftsmanship through the Èreità Vase, a sculptural piece produced by Emiceram where clay, rope and aluminum come together in a dialogue between tradition and contemporary design.
Presented at Isola Design District during Milano Design Week 2026, the vase is deeply rooted in the history of Marseille and Provence. Each material carries a cultural memory: handcrafted ceramic, maritime rope-making techniques and raw aluminum inspired by the region’s industrial past.
The ceramic body, developed in collaboration with local artisan EmiCeram, highlights technical precision through complex molding processes, while the untreated aluminum tube introduces a minimalist and architectural contrast. The result is an object that feels both poetic and functional — balancing craftsmanship, design and material research. With the Èreità Vase, Antoine Seguin transforms everyday materials into a contemporary narrative about heritage, adaptation and the evolving language of artisanal production.

SIMONE POST’S CANDY ART AT THE VENICE BIENNALE 2026

Artist Simone Post transforms candy into contemporary art, creating immersive installations that blur the line between sweetness, memory and impermanence. Her colorful works, developed through handcrafted compositions made entirely of candies and sugary materials, explore the fragile nature of joy and human experience. Her practice stands out for its playful yet sophisticated visual language, where everyday objects become large-scale artistic environments rich in texture, color and emotional impact.
During the 2026 Venice Biennale, Simone Post presents her new installation within Still Joy - From Ukraine into the World at Palazzo Contarini Polignac. The work fills the historic Venetian space with candy-made chandeliers and decorative elements that slowly change over time, reflecting on beauty as something temporary and delicate.
Through her candy installations, Simone Post creates a dreamlike atmosphere that captures visitors between wonder and reflection, turning sugar into a powerful artistic medium capable of speaking about resilience, fragility and collective emotion.

METALIA BY NATALIA CRIADO

During Fuorisalone 2026, Colombian designer Natalia Criado presented Metalia at Laboratorio Paravicini — a poetic collaboration blending handcrafted ceramics and sculptural metalwork.
Presented in the heart of Milan’s 5VIE district, the project explored the relationship between geometry, material contrasts and the ritual of the table through an immersive installation titled The Invisible Table.
The collection combined Laboratorio Paravicini’s hand-decorated ceramic plates with Natalia Criado’s brass and silver-plated metal objects, creating a refined dialogue between lightness and structure, softness and reflection.
Rather than presenting a traditional table setting, Metalia transformed tableware into a suspended and sculptural experience, where objects appeared to float in space and everyday rituals became contemporary design narratives.
With Metalia, Fuorisalone 2026 once again highlighted the growing connection between collectible design, craftsmanship and emotional storytelling — celebrating design as both function and artistic expression.

LE LABO 1.0 BY BAGUETTE STUDIO

During Milan Design Week 2026, Baguette Studio presented LE LABO 1.0 at Isola Design District — an experimental project exploring a new, more transparent and sustainable approach to design production.
At the center of the installation was a fully remouldable lighting system made from a 100% natural wax composition. Developed to resist heat up to 80°C and melt at 100°C, the material allows each lamp to be reshaped and reproduced endlessly, redefining the relationship between objects, production and waste.
Using a rotational moulding technique inspired by the plastics industry, every lamp was produced live on-site in just 45 minutes, directly in front of visitors. This process transformed manufacturing into an open and visible experience, highlighting the value of local and adaptable micro-production.
More than a lighting collection, LE LABO 1.0 imagined a circular ecosystem where every stage of the material lifecycle is designed to eliminate waste. Even the stainless steel base can be dismantled and reused through the OpenStructures system, reinforcing the project’s commitment to long-term sustainability.
Presented within the experimental atmosphere of Isola Design District, LE LABO 1.0 offered a compelling vision of future design: local, transparent, evolving and consciously made.

ANTIMATERIE

We’re proud to present Antimaterie, a Belgian project redefining the language of handmade ceramics through a bold, research-driven approach. Founded in 2020 by designer Pieter Bostoen, Antimaterie explores how ancient ceramic techniques can be translated into a contemporary visual identity. Each piece is handmade in Ghent, produced in small editions or as unique objects, where geometric forms and graphic elements meet a strong focus on craftsmanship. More than objects, these works investigate the concept of the “mask” and identity, blending historical references with a modern design sensibility. The result is a collection that sits at the intersection of art, design, and material experimentation.

ATELIER MAVE

We recently came across Atelier Mave, a Berlin-based studio founded by illustrator Berry Aktuglu, and instantly fell in love with its joyful and expressive visual language.
Atelier Mave’s work sits at the intersection of illustration, storytelling, and surface design—where hand-drawn lines, gouache, and pastel tones come together to create playful, character-driven worlds. Each piece feels personal and vibrant, inspired by nature, travel, vintage markets, and childhood memories.
From textiles to stationery and home design, the studio’s approach is deeply versatile, yet always recognizable for its colorful and imaginative aesthetic. Collaborations with brands like Anthropologie and Maisonette further highlight its ability to translate artistic vision into everyday objects.
What resonates most with us at Unduetrestella is the way Atelier Mave bridges childhood and adulthood—creating a visual universe that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, playful yet refined.
A small discovery, full of color and inspiration.

The project proposes a Europe-wide network of spaces dedicated to play, designed to support children’s development while strengthening social connections and collective wellbeing. At its core lies a clear idea: investing in play means investing in healthier, more inclusive communities.
Conceived as a scalable and adaptable system, Continent of Play combines local materials with a shared vision, creating environments that respond to different contexts while building a common cultural landscape.
A powerful concept, where play becomes a driver of urban and social transformation.

IDIORYTHMIA BY STUDIO SMARIN AT MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2026

At Milan Design Week 2026, we discovered one of the most poetic installations of the season: Idiorythmia by Studio Smarin at Institut Français Milano.
Inspired by the idea of “living together, separately,” Idiorythmia explored how individuals can coexist while maintaining their own rhythms. Through light, sound, and minimal forms, the installation created a calm, almost meditative space—an invitation to slow down during one of the busiest design weeks of the year.
Among the elements that resonated most with our approach at Unduetrestella was the educational dimension connected to Ecoletopie, designed by Smarin. Conceived as a modular learning environment, Ecoletopie is a tool for teaching teams where students become active participants. Cork blocks, oak boards, and dynamic seating systems shape an open and evolving space that encourages proprioception, critical thinking, and collective intelligence.
In a week often defined by bold and immersive experiences, this project stood out for its subtlety and depth—while also offering a meaningful reflection on how design can support new educational models.
For us, it strongly aligns with how we imagine spaces for children and families: flexible, intuitive, and built around individual and collective growth.

ROKKI BY VON MORGEN

On Unduetrestella, we love objects that escape definition—and Rokki by Von Morgen is one of them. Neither just a stool nor simply a table, it’s a piece designed to evolve through use.
Rooted in a philosophy of reduction and versatility, Rokki reflects Von Morgen’s approach to creating objects that adapt rather than dictate. Its essential form and raw materials express a clear, architectural aesthetic, while its shifting balance introduces movement and interaction into everyday space. Minimal yet expressive, Rokki turns function into experience.
