Milan, Italy – April 20th, 2026 
This Milan Design Week 2026, Moooi celebrated a defining moment: twenty-five years of fearless imagination, commemorated in silver. Guided by the vision of co-founder and creative director Marcel Wanders, Moooi’s presentation at Superstudio Più returns the design and lifestyle brand to its origins, reflecting on its roots to propel creativity boldly forward. 

Wrapped in silver—raw, rough and reflective—Moooi reveals a world where icons are reengineered, dreams become mechanisms and bold experiments reshape the familiar into the extraordinary. It is a moment of reflection without nostalgia, a celebration of transformation, curiosity and momentum.

At Superstudio Più, Moooi presented an immersive environment that brings this silver celebration to life, returning to the original location of the brand’s very first Milan Design Week exhibition 25 years ago. The presentation, an equal partnership between Moooi and Superstudio Design, unfolds as a layered experience where material intelligence, gravity and movement take center stage, informed by the work of internationally renowned choreographer Yoann Bourgeois—known for his exploration of balance, gravity, and suspension at the intersection of dance, architecture, and visual arts. Within Moooi’s installation, this choreographic gesture becomes a metaphor for the brand’s narrative: a continuous search for suspension between stability and risk, past and future, tradition and experimentation, as objects appear poised between poetry and precision, softness and structure, imagination and engineering.

Alongside the main presentation, Moooi extends its presence into the city at Moooi’s store in central Milan, offering visitors another lens through which to explore the brand’s evolving universe during Milan Design Week. Marking its 25th year, Moooi introduces a series of new designs that embody the spirit of reinvention.

Collaborating with Dutch artist Mart Veldhuis, Moooi unveils a monumental anniversary tapestry celebrating the brand’s rich visual universe. Known for his rhythmic, narrative illustration style, Veldhuis translates Moooi’s history into a dense, expressive composition woven with detail, symbolism and layered storytelling. From a distance, the tapestry reads as a bold graphic landscape, while closer inspection reveals a multitude of references to Moooi’s icons, characters, and creative moments.

The debut of the Peaks Sofa by Yves Béhar reimagines seating as a playful, modular landscape designed for comfort and human connection. The anniversary is further expressed through a new Moooi Wallcovering collection, “Monumental Moments” by Moooi, created especially for the twenty-five-year celebration, alongside new Moooi Carpets, including the generative CGI collection Future Fossils by Kilian Vos.

Among the design previews is Urchina Light by Studio Roderick Vos, a floating constellation of slender carbon rods inspired by the symmetry and rhythm of sea urchins – expressive by day and atmospheric by night. Push Light by Paul Cocksedge transforms a simple gesture into illumination, shaping a soft reflective glow through paper, ring and balance.

Alongside these new introductions, Moooi presents evolving icons and expanded collections. Meshmatics returns with two new sizes and wall- and ceiling-mounted variations, refining its signature wire-basket construction. For Milan Design Week only, Paper Chandelier is reintroduced in three sizes, offering a fresh expression of a familiar form and Common Comrades is reintroduced in a new smoked bamboo material. 

Looking beyond the present, Moooi offers an exclusive preview of Powerline, its first Architectural Lighting collection developed in collaboration with new lighting partner Intra Lighting. Presented at Superstudio Più as a glimpse of what is to come, Powerline signals a new chapter for Moooi by expanding its universe from expressive objects to complete lighting ecosystems that bridge architectural and decorative design. 

Pino Tree by Andrés Reisinger introduces a luminous kinetic sculpture inspired by the symbolic presence of the pine tree. Presented as a preview installation during Milan Design Week, the design is part of a forest installation at Superstudio Più, where rotating illuminated trees create a surreal landscape of light, movement, and celebration.

This year, Moooi Weer, meaning ‘beautiful again’, returns as a celebration of renewal, inviting a fresh perspective on objects from the past. Developed in collaboration with renowned trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort, the project introduces ‘Tin Age’, a matte metallic hue inspired by tin — a colour rooted in modest, industrial origins and reimagined as a contemporary surface for today. Applied as a paint, Tin Age transforms existing objects into something beautifully new again.

With each unveiling, Moooi continues to shape extraordinary interiors where ideas are free to evolve, objects invite emotion and spaces become stories. Milan Design Week 2026 marks not a conclusion, but a continuation. The silver celebration is only the beginning.
