ArchiTexturExpo - Matter and Design
On the occasion of Milano Design Week 2026, from April 20 to 26, ArchiTexturExpo is born, at Foro Buonaparte 67 c/o Fondazione Matalon — the new exhibition format dedicated to the dialogue between matter, design, and production, conceived by EN Space network in collaboration with VG crea – authors of the events of the last 10 years in Piazza and Chiostri di San Marco in Brera during Fuorisalone.
ArchiTexturExpo offers an exhibition path that highlights the relationship between designers and the production expertise of companies, narrating the process that leads to the artifact, with particular attention to the quality of surfaces: texture, consistency, color, and sensory rendering.
The exhibition invites the public to rediscover the value of design as a conscious process, capable of transforming materials into architectural elements and design products. Through scenographic installations, visitors can observe how matter becomes structure and design language. The event positions itself as a platform for dialogue between companies, architects, and designers, offering a space for discussion on the future perspectives of design and on the role of materials in defining the relationship between people, objects, and space.
Exhibitors include:
- BBB with a collection designed by Marco Piva
- Eterno Ivica with the installation "Climax" signed by ATI Project
- Keradom with "Trame di Colore" by Plan Studio
- Modesign with the kitchen "Wood Blocks" signed by Lorenzo Guzzini
- New Life, with the project "La profondità del fare" featuring collections designed by Marco Zito, Alessandro Ghiringhelli, Alan De La Coba
- NINIVE design on the theme "Materia e Biofilia"
Also showcased: products by Porcelanosa · Radici Carpet · Spolert.
Furthermore, ArchiTexturExpo 2026 hosts international designers to imagine the hospitality of the future on the theme Body Interaction Luxury Suite, curated by Sabina Antonini and Alessandra Coppa.
The focus explores the relationship between the human body, space, and matter, where surfaces, materials, and technologies become instruments of sensory communication.
Six design firms are called to interpret a luxury tourist hospitality suite in which every material is not merely an aesthetic element, but part of a tactile and perceptual experience, capable of bringing the human body into dialogue with space.
The protagonists of Body Interaction Luxury Suite:
- Facchinetti&Partners/Prototipi
VI SENSO DI PERSEO – The well-being of the person through their senses - Giuseppe Tortato Architetti
LA STANZA DEL RISO - MMA Projects
RESONANCE - Nick Maltese Studio con Nerosicilia
AETHERA - Riva Simone Factory Design Studio
ESSENTIA – The body sanctuary - Westway Architects
PARETI INTERIORI – Feeling, living, and inhabiting space
Matter and the focus "Body Interaction Luxury Suite" become the subject of the EN Space Interview — interviews and meetings with architects and designers on the role of Design in shaping and redefining the relationships between people, objects, and space, which will be immediately visible on EN Space network's social channels. In collaboration with Terminus Digital Art.
In addition, the media partners, guests of ArchiTexturExpo, will be the protagonists of talks relating to the theme of the event, Matter and Design.
ArchiTexturExpo also extends outdoors with a 24 sqm installation: an urban green module conceived as a replicable model, particularly alongside existing newsstands. The project aims to regenerate small public spaces by introducing cultural and rest functions, promoting reading, encounter, and a renewed centrality of the newsstand as an urban landmark. The space encourages sociality and brief pauses, taking shape as a small accessible green lung within the urban fabric.
