Every April, Milan stops being a city and turns into something else entirely. Designers, architects, and anyone who cares about how spaces look and feel descend on it for one week. It’s part trade fair, part street festival, part design laboratory. Nothing else quite like it exists.
This year, Poliform is skipping the main fairgrounds altogether. Instead, they’re taking over Palazzo Clerici, an 18th-century palace with ornate interiors and frescoed ceilings that have been around since before the United States existed. Their newest collections will be unveiled there, designed to live in conversation with the architecture around them.
It’s a smart move. Showing furniture in a grand residence, rather than a showroom, is exactly how good design is meant to be experienced. You see how it actually lives in a space.
Forbes included it in their guide to Milan Design Week 2026 as one of the week’s must-sees.
We’ll be there ourselves this week, walking the fair, seeing the new collections firsthand, and taking it all in. It’s the best way we know to stay close to what’s coming next in Italian design and bringing it back to La Jolla.
What this means closer to home
Not everyone can make it to Milan. But the new collections Poliform is debuting there will make their way here, and as official Poliform dealers in La Jolla, we’ll have them.
At Unscripted Spaces, we bring this level of Italian design to homes across San Diego. Kitchens, closets, living spaces, full interiors. The same craftsmanship you’d find in a palazzo on the Via Clerici, built for how people actually live in La Jolla.
If you’re curious what’s coming or want to start planning a project around Poliform’s newest work, take a look at how we work or browse the brands we carry.
And if you’re ready to talk, we’d love to hear from you.
