Milan Design Week 2026: a design vision becomes an immersive experience
During Milan Design Week 2026, MelzoDodici developed an experiential project born from an original concept created together with Iammi Studio and later adapted to reflect the values and vision of Electrolux Group.
The initial idea stemmed from the desire to transform our inner courtyard into a true urban oasis: an immersive environment designed to offer a moment of decompression from the chaos of the city, bringing the relationship between wellbeing, nature and everyday life back to the center of the experience.
This design approach naturally aligned with The Swedish Home, a concept developed together with the client and rooted in a vision of living that is more conscious, essential and deeply connected to nature.
Dall’incontro tra queste visioni è nato un percorso immersivo che ha trasformato MelzoDodici in un’esperienza sensoriale coerente e autentica. From the meeting of these visions, an immersive spatial narrative took shape, transforming MelzoDodici into a coherent and sensory experience. The courtyard became a Swedish forest in the heart of Milan, brought to life through the work of our partner Ninive, while the interior spaces hosted activities centered around wellbeing, food and human connection.
Throughout the week, the program included sound meditation sessions, yoga classes, talks and culinary experiences, including a special moment with Ernst Knam, creating a narrative capable of merging design, lifestyle and emotional engagement.
More than a temporary installation, the project represented an exercise in design translation: starting from an independent spatial vision and transforming it into an experience able to engage with a global brand identity through architecture, atmosphere and content.
