Sneak Peek: TTE 25 - Milan in Focus
This edition of The Textile Eye captures Milan Design Week 2025 in all its complexity: from Salone’s formal launches to Fuorisalone’s looser, often wilder material experiments. The energy was layered, and sometimes contradictory—structured design mixed with soft surfaces, technical innovation paired with retro references.

Texture, Motif, and Treatment Trends
Textures mimicked stone, shimmered like oil slicks, or softened under handwoven layers. Craft and storytelling were central, especially among heritage brands exploring new narratives.

Color
We followed color through different registers: saturated and dusty, surreal and straightforward. A highlight? Our cover palette, Spettro Indisciplinato, a bright and lively combination of colors.
