The Textile Eye - Report 25
Milan in Focus
Creative Vision at the Forefront of Design
At Milan Design Week 2025, creativity took bold new form. From structured launches at Salone del Mobile to wild material experimentation across Fuorisalone, this edition of The Textile Eye captures the layered, unexpected, and often quietly radical work that defined the week. We trace the visual rhythms of a city that continues to shape the future of textile design through craftsmanship, innovation, and fearless storytelling.
