From Milan, With Inspiration

This April, the Livingspace Vancouver team traveled to Milan for Salone del Mobile 2025, the world’s most important design fair. More than just a visit, this annual pilgrimage is an opportunity for us to connect in person with our brand partners, discover the latest collections, and ensure we bring home the very best in design innovation for our clients in Vancouver.

Minotti: charting new perspectives for the future.

Minotti’s 2025 Collection debuted in a striking new pavilion through five curated environments celebrating contemporary living. At the heart of the exhibition were new seating systems — Bézier by Marcio Kogan/Studio MK27, Coupé by Giampiero Tagliaferri, Riley by Hannes Peer, Saki by Nendo, and Vivienne by GamFratesi — each offering distinct yet harmonious atmospheres. Enhanced by natural elements and fine art from Tornabuoni Arte, the collection marks a refined evolution of Minotti’s design language.

Baxter: Design Meets Drama on Lake Como

Baxter unveiled its 2025 Collection at La Casa sul Lago on Lake Como during Milan Design Week, turning the villa into a sensory showcase of sculptural forms and luxurious materials. Blending Italian craftsmanship with bold experimentation, the collection reflects Baxter’s poetic, contemporary vision: made with leather, mastery, and beauty. More than products, these pieces are characters in an evolving story of cultured living and 21st-century Italian design.

Paola Lenti: Outdoor Innovation, Reinvented

At Milan Design Week 2025, Paola Lenti invites us on a journey of reconnection through Ritrovarsi — a thoughtful exploration of colour, space, and nature. Their indoor and outdoor collections are presented in a harmonious dialogue between architecture and landscape, creating a serene, immersive experience. The flagship store becomes more than a showroom but it’s a space to reflect, reconnect, and rediscover the essence of design.

Bocci: A Milanese Apartment, Reimagined

Bocci welcomed us into their Milan apartment showroom—an intimate space where their lighting came alive in a lived-in setting. This year marks Bocci’s 20th anniversary, celebrated with The Numbers Between The Numbers, a special exhibition curated by David Alhadeff of The Future Perfect, exploring Omer Arbel’s latest works. Additional pieces by Orior, Calico Wallpaper, Christopher Farr, Shore Studios, and Henrybuilt added depth to the experience. We’re proud to showcase Bocci’s most iconic designs in our Vancouver showroom, formerly the brand’s original headquarters.

Gloster: Elevated Outdoor Living

Gloster’s latest collections, Wrap, Grand Sail, Rail, and Ambient Compass blend timeless aesthetics with refined functionality to elevate outdoor living. Inspired by the elegance of grand yachts and vintage locomotives, these designs by Henrik Pedersen bring together classic lines, modern comfort, and expert craftsmanship in fine teak. The result is a sophisticated yet relaxed outdoor experience, rooted in heritage and innovation.

Bringing Milan Home

At Livingspace, our mission is to curate and deliver the very best in European design to our clients here in Vancouver. Whether it’s a full home renovation or a single standout piece, we look forward to helping you bring the elegance and inspiration of Salone del Mobile into your space.
