Fuorisalone always leaves us with new design obsessions - and the Carpet Chair by Sofia Venetucci x Virô is definitely one of them.
Presented during Milan Design Week 2026, this experimental chair transforms reclaimed carpet remnants from temporary installations into a bold and sculptural seating piece. By layering leftover carpet to build both the seat and backrest, the project redefines the concept of upholstery in contemporary furniture design.
The exposed steel structure, visible screws and raw construction details become part of the aesthetic language, celebrating material reuse rather than hiding it. Developed by Sofia Venetucci in collaboration with Virô, the project gives a second life to scenographic waste through an innovative and highly tactile approach.
A perfect example of circular design, material experimentation and contemporary craftsmanship - exactly the kind of discovery we love bringing back from Fuorisalone.
