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.

Behind every beautiful space is a community of peo Behind every beautiful space is a community of people who believed in the vision. 🧡  Last night we celebrated @HestanNapa—a destination that tells the extraordinary legacy of @StanleyKCheng and @HestanHelen through food, wine, design, and hospitality. Watching longtime partners and friends, @CosentinoUSA, @SherwinWilliams, @BauTeam, @FourHands, @eldoradostone and @kohler, gather to honor that story was a reminder that the best projects are never built alone.  To everyone who helped bring this vision to life—and to the partners who traveled to celebrate alongside us—THANK YOU. 🙏🏻 Your trust, collaboration, and friendship mean more than words can say.  If you ever find yourself in Napa Valley, be sure to include @HestanNapa on your visit.🍷  #HestanNapa #NapaValley #DesignCommunity #HospitalityDesign #LuxuryDesign
During a recent visit with the @JennAir team in Ch During a recent visit with the @JennAir team in Chicago, a conversation about the design thinking behind their refrigeration with Obsidian interior sparked an unexpected design observation.  What do Dutch Master Artists, Michelin-Starred Chefs, Luxury Jewelers (and Appliance Designers) have in common? More than you might think.  In our latest blog, explore how contrast, presentation, and discovery influence the way we experience design—sometimes in the most unexpected places.  Read the full story at the link in bio. ✨  #JennAir #KitchenDesign #LuxuryDesign #InteriorDesign #DesignInspiration  Four centuries, Dutch Master Artists have understood the power of contrast. Darkness isn’t the subject, it’s a tool that highlights the subject beauty 🖤  The same principle appears in fine dining. When the backdrop recedes, color, texture, and detail come forward.  That same “jewelry box” thinking inspired @jennair’s #ObsidianInterior 💭  Head to the link in stories to read the story behind the design 🔗
