The garden as a room of the home: lessons from seven botanical installations at Salone 2026
At Salone del Mobile 2026, greenery stopped serving as a backdrop and became the protagonist. Seven botanical installations, from Gucci to Molteni, from Kohler to Marcin Rusak, transformed Milanese cloisters and courtyards into open-air rooms. The garden is no longer a frame but a fully-fledged room — a bioclimatic lesson (at last!) that the contemporary home can no longer postpone.

The most beautiful museum shops: why the best travel souvenirs are found there
A museum shop is not simply the exit visitors must pass through once the culture is over; it is the last room of the exhibition.
