MILAN DESIGN WEEK: EXTRA EVENTS

DURING MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2026, CC-TAPIS TOOK PART IN A RANGE OF EXCITING OFF-SITE PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AS PART OF THE FUORISALONE.

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER BY 6:AM  

Via Andrea Maria Ampère, 24  

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER is 6:AM’s new exhibition project for Milan Design Week 2026, presented at the Piscina Romano. The immersive exhibition explores contemporary glass through the lens of repetition, weaving together design, craftsmanship, and installation into a cohesive experience. By placing seriality, materiality, and uniqueness in dialogue, the project highlights the expressive potential of glass, and features Hypercode, the collection by Roberto Sironi. 

NILUFAR GRAND HOTEL

Viale Lancetti, 34 

Nilufar Grand Hotel is Nilufar’s immersive curatorial platform for Milan Design Week 2026, reimagining hospitality as a collectible design experience within the Nilufar Depot. Conceived as a fictional luxury hotel, the project brings together vintage and contemporary pieces, signature rooms, and scenographic environments where objects become the protagonists of a layered dialogue between design, craftsmanship, and storytelling. The exhibition also features custom rugs by Martino Gamper and Filippo Carandini, including a site-specific, ad hoc tufted carpet in the hall and lounge that helps introduce the project’s hospitality-inspired atmosphere.

CASA NM3

Via Carlo Farini, 93 

CASA NM3 is an installation presented in NM3’s space, conceived as a domestic landscape structured as a sequence of four rooms and defined by movable partitions rather than fixed walls. Referencing the spatial approach of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, the project explores a quiet and essential idea of living, while also introducing a new evolution of NM3’s classic storage systems, NM25 and NM26, now conceived as fully modular configurations with doors, drawers, and an expanded family of furnishings including kitchens and desks. Completing the installation, cc-tapis rugs — including Hypercode by Roberto Sironi alongside other custom rugs — help define the different environments, articulate the space, and reinforce its domestic identity.

CAMERA FISSA BY STUDIOUTTE X DE TROUPE

Via Volturno, 45

Camera Fissa is an immersive installation by studioutte and De Troupe, presented at studioutte’s Milan headquarters and conceived as a private club interior viewed from a single, centered perspective. Framed by textiles, scenography, lighting, and furniture, the project creates a calm yet cinematic atmosphere in which architecture and objects merge into one cohesive system. 
The installation offers a preview of Hydra, a new rug from the collection developed in collaboration with studioutte.

 TAPPETI INGOMBRANTI BY FINEMATERIA X DROPCITY
 

Via Sammartini 60, tunnel 138

Tappeti Ingombranti is an ongoing experimental project initiated by Finemateria in collaboration with cc-tapis and continuing in 2026 at Drop City, inside Tunnel 138. Conceived as a spin-off of a future auditorium, the project explores the carpet beyond its object status, transforming a robotufted rug into an architectural and environmental device that shapes rest, conversation, and collective exchange.

CASA ROSA BY LEA COLOMBO AND CAMILLA GARZA

Only by appointment

CASA ROSA is an immersive takeover of Lea Colombo and Camilla Garza’s Milan home, transformed into a living environment of colour, material, and energy on the occasion of Salone del Mobile 2026. More than an exhibition, the project unfolds as a sensorial domestic landscape where glass, stone, wood, light, and objects come together in an intimate yet expansive dialogue, inviting visitors to slow down, reconnect, and experience design as something felt as much as seen. Within this atmosphere, the preview of cc-tapis x Lea Colombo’s ATOM Rugs extends the event’s focus on colour, vibration, and emotional resonance. 

FRAMES OF REALITY BY BARBIERI MAGALINI
 

Via Maroncelli, 14

Frames of Reality is an installation by Barbieri Magalini conceived as a pop-up home suspended between order and imperfection. Developed in collaboration with a curated selection of design partners, the project explores the beauty of lived-in spaces through an eclectic, convivial, and atmospheric domestic setting. 
Within this environment, cc-tapis contributes a selection of rugs that enhance the narrative, including Tessera by Yabu Pushelberg, Crisscross by India Mahdavi, Vice Versa by Chiara Andreatti, and Everyday Day, seamlessly integrating craftsmanship and texture into the installation’s layered composition.

‘HORIZON, ROOM’ by Meritalia®

Fiera Milano, Rho
Hall 22P, Booth B30

Meritalia® continues its exploration of contemporary living by expanding its catalog with new typologies that combine comfort, decoration, and craftsmanship. Among them, the rug emerges as a key element, bridging functionality and artistic expression. Within this vision, Meritalia® welcomes cc-tapis into its radical and unconventional universe, presenting Horizon and Room, two rugs that balance refined aesthetics with experimental approach.

Horizon is produced entirely through a manual hand-tufting technique on a vertical loom, translating the original design into a tactile surface. Crafted in soft wool, its subtle tonal variations along the edges evoke the image of a shoreline meeting a lagoon. The rug is available in three color combinations and in both rectangular and circular formats.

Room takes on a more sculptural character, defined by a rectangular shape enhanced by two raised borders on the shorter sides. Produced using a hand-looming technique on a horizontal loom, it is woven line by line in a refined blend of wool and linen, offering durability, softness, and material sophistication.
