The historic Mulino Estate complex was transformed into a multi-brand destination, debuting Tom Dixon’s AW26 collection alongside collaborations with Vispring, Coalesse, VitrA, Ege Carpets, Prolicht, Monument, and Avalon & London.
The exhibition and new collections were presented within the context of MuaMua, a new hotel concept located on the Mulino Estate. Originally designed in 1929 by Chiodi and Gio Ponti for the Sordelli family, the property has been under the care of the Virga family since 1955, and the complex has been curated by Ludovica Virga as a multidisciplinary hub.
The event saw Design Research Studio, the interior design agency of Tom Dixon, and Vispring debut a collection explores the intersection of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design, featuring four headboards and a bed designed by DRS. DRS transformed each hotel room into an immersive environment where the bed serves as the central architectural element. The designs are inspired by Tom Dixon’s signature Fat, Groove and Wingback series. The exhibition also features three bespoke showpieces created exclusively for Milan Design Week.
Coalesse and Viccarbe took over the estate’s garage to present communal spaces that energise the brightest workplaces in an immersive experience where workspace meets disco. The showcase explores the blurred lines between professional and social spheres, featuring a curated installation of Coalesse, Viccarbe and Tom Dixon pieces. The layout is split to demonstrate a seamless transition: a focused office environment on one side and a vibrant lounge-to-party atmosphere on the other. Outside in the courtyard, the work hard, play hard theme continues with an outdoor collection.
The interior scheme features Ege Carpets and bathware brand VitrA.
London’s Monument gallery and French curator Harold Mollet presented Magazzino Archive, set in a Gio Ponti-designed grain silo on the estate, the exhibition explores Ponti’s philosophy and it features rare functional artworks from the 1970s–1990s by Tom Dixon, Pucci de Rossi, and Mark Brazier-Jones, highlighting the tension between balance and experimental decoration.
