Cappellini “Carnet de Voyage”: Global Design Signals from Milan Design Week

Cappellini’s Milan Design Week showroom, titled Carnet de Voyage, is organised as a geographic journey through Milan, New York, Dakar, and Tokyo. Each area expresses a distinct cultural mood through music, materials, color, and form, highlighting Cappellini’s eclectic identity. The layout reflects the brand’s role as a global talent scout, mixing iconic pieces with work by emerging designers to celebrate cross-cultural exchange, experimentation, and openness in contemporary design. Carnet de Voyage captures an idea that is shaping contemporary design across sectors: the future belongs to spaces that feel culturally awake, layered with references, rich in sensation, and flexible in how they’re used. It’s not about maximalism versus minimalism; it’s about curation with intent.
