10 Bold Color Highlights From Milan Design Week 2025

This year’s Milan Design Week was awash in saturated hues, proving that bold color is back in full force. At Salone del Mobile and across the city, Interior Design saw designers embrace vivid palettes as a tool for expression, play, and emotional resonance.

From a standing lamp based on the protest sign to sculptural seating channeling the soft pinks of old Hollywood and textiles blooming with saturated tones, color wasn’t just an accent—it was the main event. Nowhere was this more evident than in the realm of lighting, where designers used colored glass, tinted resins, and filtered LED to paint with light itself. The 10 standout pieces here are the first step to transforming any room into an immersive color experience.

Manifesto by Matteo Pellegrino for Rossana Orlandi

Instead of a slogan, Matteo Pellegrino mounted layered polychrome resin on a wooden pole for Manifesto, his colorful, permanent take on the protest sign. The lamp was included in the group show “Can You Imagine” on view at Rossana Orlandi gallery.

Habitus by Andrea Anastasio for Foscarini

It’s all in the detailing with the LED Habitus lamp by Andrea Anastasio. Look closely at its ceramic form and you’ll spot tiny, delicate glass beads—that’s the result of a collaboration with handmade embroidery specialists from the fashion industry. It’s available as a wall or floor lamp.

KIDA Lounge by Stephen Burks for Dedon

Three bold striped colorway options make the supportive yet open KIDA lounge—an expansion to the breezy KIDA collection by Stephen Burks and a chic resting spot for a leisurely afternoon outdoors. Wrapped around its powder-coated aluminum frame, KIDA’s UV resistant fiber withstands the elements yet is soft to the touch. Shown above is the multi-colored ‘glow touch’ fiber.

Georgia by Aline Asmar d’Amman for Rossana Orlandi

Aline Asmar d’Amman channels old Hollywood glamour and the American painter Georgia O’Keeffe for the soft shades and sensual curves of her Georgia swivel seating. The limited-edition collection, custom-made at tapestry workshops in France, was spotted in the installation “The Power of Tenderness” at Rossana Orlandi gallery, where it was paired with the onyx and stone Soft Shell side and coffee tables.

Anemon by Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg for Kasthall

A hand-tufted rug collection with a large-scale floral pattern emerges from the archives of Kasthall. Originating from a 1991 artwork of flowers in a bold blue hue by the Swedish manufacturer’s late design icon Gunilla Lagerhem Ullberg, wool-linen blend Anemon is updated with fresh colorways.

Orbit by Sabine Marcelis

A large-scale light fixture with sculptural presence, Orbit by Sabine Marcelis is crafted entirely from recycled post-consumer aluminum scrap. Its seamless extruded form becomes a vessel for light—which appears to escape and orbit its surface when activated by a dimmer, evoking the graceful motion of celestial bodies. The piece was featured in a group exhibition sponsored by aluminum and renewable energy company Hydro, which invited designers to create contemporary objects using its fully recycled material, 100R.

JS. Thonet by Jil Sander and Marcel Breuer for Thonet

A fashion designer celebrated for her minimalist aesthetic turns her creative eye to a Bauhaus classic. JS. Thonet by Jil Sander is a luxurious reinterpretation of the S 64 cantilevered chair, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1929. With two lines, Nordic and Serious, the collection incorporates updates such as glossy tubular steel recalling titanium and four shades of leather on seat and backrest.

Kashima by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset

Following the success of its Kashima sofa, an archival piece designed by Michel Ducaroy reissued in 2023, Ligne Roset presents the Kashima armchair. Just like the sofa designed in the 1970s, the armchair has a fully quilted cover with ‘pinched’ seams at the corners. Both are available in statement-worthy plum and orange.

90 Mini Mini by Anglepoise

The classic Anglepoise desk lamp shrinks to half its size with the 90 Mini Mini, offered in three bold, archival hues: avocado green, turquoise blue, and sunburnt orange. The colors were first released in 1973, with the original Model 90. The compact reinterpretation features a dimmable integrated LED module, plug, and USB connection for flexible use inside or out.

Gioia by Occhio

Lighting manufacturer Occhio took over the historic Milan home Villa Necchi Campiglio to introduce an entire range of color for several of its lighting collections. The aluminum and steel floor lamp Gioia shown here is now offered in 18 different hues including blue, green, red, and violet.
