Returning to Milan with unmistakable flair, Salone del Mobile once again affirmed its place as the world’s leading showcase of furniture, lighting and interior innovation. Boulevard attended the week-long celebration, which brought together top-tier brands, visionary designers and cutting-edge studios from across the globe.
From the flagship showcases at Fiera Milano—the main exhibition venue of Salone del Mobile—to the immersive installations displayed in brand showrooms throughout Milan’s design districts, this year’s edition delivered exclusive launches, refined craftsmanship and bold explorations of form and function.

Baleri Italia

Acquired and relaunched by luxury furniture veterans Oniro Group, Baleri Italia returns with a collection of iconic pieces by master designers that showcases the brand’s beloved and singular mix of minimalism, materiality, emotion, fun and, above all, functionality.
Moroso

Moroso’s 2025 collection riffs off the brand’s love of colour and retro-glamorous comforts, set amidst a backdrop of rich neutrals in chocolate, aubergine and buttermilk, and culminating in the molten, quasi-amorphous and wholly audacious ‘Gruuve’ sofa by Patricia Urquiola.
“We try to create things that are deeply connected to our world. My favourite thing is bringing to life ideas that I find beautiful.” — Patrizia Moroso
Cassina
Left: ‘Traccia’ low table by Meret Oppenheim. Right: ‘Back-Wing’ chair by Patricia Urquiola and ‘Treflo’ oval table by Ronan Bouroullec.
Cassina deep-dived into texture and finish, from the enveloping, nest-like ‘Mon-Nid’ bed, with its cushiony fabric frame, to sleek statement lacquers and tinted glass tables, with a retro-leaning palette highlighted by burnt orange, teal and burgundy that set off the neutral stalwarts.
Roberto Cavalli Home
Left: ‘Fly Case’ drawer unit. Right: ‘Misitu’ sideboard.
Cavalli’s Nevada-inspired collection went beyond its signature, outlandish animal prints into lavish marbles, sumptuous suede, the above, fabulous update to the ‘Fly Case’ drawers in grey leather, and a rather extraordinary Vegas-themed lounge suite with decorative beaded motifs.
Molteni&C
Left: ‘Mateo’ table. Right: ‘Cinnamon’ armchair by Naoto Fukasawa.
The newly launched Palazzo Molteni presented a series of sumptuous rooms in High Milanese style, offering both luxury and comfort, lavish materiality, with a supremely poised spectrum of creams, charcoals, blacks, and the occasional statement marble, metallic or wood.
Neutra
Neutra’s ‘Monochrome Affinity’ showcase.
Newly acquired by Emanuele ‘Chicco’ Busnelli (ex-B&B Italia), marble specialist Neutra was relaunched with a richly indul-gent collection headlined by a masterclass in solid stone pieces—which are intended to serve less as a product line and more as a point of departure for bespoke creations.
“Everything we make is limited. What I love most is finding the perfect, one-of-a-kind marble block or slab for each piece.” — Emanuele ‘Chicco’ Busnelli
Gianfranco Ferre Home
Left: ‘Circe’ Murano glass vase collection. Right: ‘Zurich’ sofa.
The dapper and masculine Gianfranco Ferré Home released a sophisticated collection iterating on the maison’s trademark textures of leather, buckle details (on sofas), and the reintroduction of debonair touches of travertine across sidetables, cabinets and bookcases.
Bomma
‘Fragments’ lighting collection.
Long admired for its glassworking mastery and ingenuity of design, Bomma unveiled ‘Fragments’, its first collection made from ‘Fragmentglass’—which consists of upcycled shards of glass whose very imperfections impart unique character to the resulting pendant ‘gemstones’.
Serip
Left: ‘Blossom’ collection. Right: ‘Aria’ light installation.
Portuguese lighting house Serip leaned into its nature-inspired designs with exquisite variations of its leaves and petals in crystal, smoked glass and bronze, as well as a series of organic slabs in Estremoz marble staking a claim to the definitive take on a sconce.
Jumbo
Left: ‘Dame’ chair and ‘Nénuphar’ sideboard. Right: ‘Crystal’ armchair.
The wonderfully unabashed Jumbo delivered the Baroque cornucopia for which the brand is beloved, spilling forth cut glass, porcelains and lavish, pearlescent fabrics, along with a gorgeous powder blue that whispered sweet nothings to the signature lashings of gilt.
Arteinmotion
Left: ‘Circe’ Murano glass vase collection. Right: ‘Zurich’ sofa.
One of our great discoveries at Salone del Mobile was Arteinmotion, a boutique house specialised in repurposing old aircraft parts—wings, fuselage, propellers, and nacelles—into stunning furniture pieces and decorative objects for your home, office, or (we’re told) your mancave.
Flexform
Left: ‘Loungescape’ sofa by Antonio Citterio. Right: ‘Enn’ table by Fumie Shibata.
Known for its brilliant marriage of architectural forms and linear comforts, Flexform showcased a ‘peak neutral’ palette of comestibles—chocolates, creams, caramels and cognacs—supported by solid wood and the maison’s signature structural metallics.
B&B Italia
Left: ‘Flair O’ Coutre’ outdoor chair by Monica Armani. Right: ‘Erica’ modular outdoor sofa by Antonio Citterio.
B&B Italia’s chic, understated aesthetic leant on texture and technique for pops of interest—and design chops—as seen in the outdoor suite that takes up ancient tombolo handcrafts in the elegantly neutral chairs arrayed around a solid but tapering concrete table.
Moooi
Left: ‘Drape’ suspension lamp and ‘Hana’ dining chairs. Right: ‘Haybale’ lounge chair and footstool.
Dutch design house Moooi indulged in a maximal whimsicality (think bejewelled ostriches and a scythe-wielding monkey) that paired with an otherwise restrained line-up of draped white lighting, mid- century-esque dining suites, and rectilinear chairs in cognac leather and cream bouclé.
