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.

Back where it all began. 💚💛 Cal Poly’s 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐃 Back where it all began. 💚💛  Cal Poly’s 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 philosophy shaped me long before I had a design studio, a seat at the table, or any idea where this career might take me. All these years later, it’s still one of the best ways I know to move through this industry—by staying curious, getting your hands dirty and keep learning as you go.  For the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring students through the @calpoly Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship and every visit reminds me that I get just as much inspiration from these students as I hope to give them.  We recently got a sneak peek at the @ciecalpoly new home on Chorro Street as they prepare to officially cut the ribbon on this next chapter. Congratulations to everyone who helped bring this incredible space to life—and to all the students who will dream, build, test and create within it!  A very full-circle moment and a very good reminder that Learn by Doing never really ends.  Once a Mustang, always a Mustang. Go Mustangs! 🐎
When in New York… make it count! ✨ What started w When in New York… make it count! ✨  What started with a connection at KBIS brought us all the way to Brooklyn for a behind-the-scenes look at the craftsmanship—and the people—behind @watermarkbrooklyn.  There’s something special about seeing where the magic actually happens. From the hands and techniques behind each detail to the incredible level of customization, our visit was a reminder that great design isn’t just about the finished product—it’s about the craft, intention, and expertise that bring it to life.  We came for a factory tour and left with an even greater appreciation for what it means to make something truly bespoke. Because when you get the chance to see good design in the making, you take the detour. 😉
48 hours, three boroughs, countless conversations, 48 hours, three boroughs, countless conversations, and one very full camera roll! 🗽✨  We just spent two whirlwind days connecting with friends at @watermarkbrooklyn and @nature.squared, soaking up the creativity of the city, and heading to @fabuwood HQ for strategic conversations that left us energized about what’s ahead.  There’s something about NYC that reminds you just how much inspiration comes from getting out into the world and staying curious. Somewhere between showroom visits, Broadway lights, DUMBO views of the Manhattan Bridge, Crosby Street, Serendipity and quite literally making our way through three boroughs, we’re reminded that the best ideas rarely happen in isolation.  They happen through conversation. Through collaboration. Through seeing how other people are thinking, making and pushing our industry forward.  NYC, you gave us plenty to think about—and even more to bring home. Until next time! ♥️🍎  #InteriorDesign #DesignIndustry #NYCDesign #DesignInspiration #KerrieKelly
