SIGHTLINES: Milan Design Week 2026

Has Wellness Killed Color—
or Simply Refined It?

Arriving at Salone this year, we expected to be swept up in color. Instead, we found ourselves immersed in something more powerful.

The conversation has shifted. Rather than bold hues commanding attention, it’s the nuance of materiality, the layering of texture, and the presence of ritual that are defining how spaces are experienced. Materiality is no longer supporting the story—it is the story.

The South of France has a way of making you 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙙 The South of France has a way of making you 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧 everything a little more. 🌊  From the colorful streets of Menton to long lunches in Nice, sparkling surprises in Monaco, golden moments in Cannes, and rooftop views from Èze, every stop along the Riviera felt full of charm and effortless style.  Sun-warmed stone, striped umbrellas, rosé by the sea, vintage shutters (and laundry waving in the breeze), salty air, and that unmistakable Mediterranean light… it’s impossible not to leave inspired. 🇫🇷  #SouthOfFrance #FrenchRiviera #NiceFrance #TravelByDesign #CotedAzur

We wandered through the incredible @calderfoundation exhibit at @fondationlv, admired the striking symmetry of La Grande Arche de la Défense, and lingered over unforgettable meals at @lafayettesparis and, of course, @ralphsparis.  And then there’s that magical moment when the Eiffel Tower begins to shimmer against the night sky—reminding you exactly why Paris never loses its romance.  Beautiful hotels, inspiring architecture, incredible food, and the simple joy of slowing down enough to take it all in. Paris, you were a dream.  #Paris #TravelByDesign #CheckedIn #DesignInspiration #ParisianStyle

From rockets and UFOs hidden among the blooms to brilliantly cheeky storefronts and hospitality moments designed to make you stop, smile, and photograph everything…the entire city felt vibrant, imaginative, and unapologetically full of personality. 🇬🇧  A beautiful reminder that great design doesn’t just look inspiring—it creates joy, sparks conversation, and invites us to experience the world a little more creatively.  #ClerkenwellDesignWeek #ChelseaInBloom #LondonCalling #DesignInspiration #TravelByDesign
