Our Design Directors recreate their favourite vignettes using our fabrics

The Alcova edit
Alcova is a standout group presentation and mainstay of Milan Design Week. Founded by Joseph Grima (Space Caviar) and Valentina Ciuffi (Studio Vedèt), it has previously been held in former bakery and cashmere factories, as well as a military hospital complex. In 2023, the fifth-annual exhibition activated the former central-city abattoir, Porta Vittoria, and featured the work of over 100 creatives across 70 projects.
“Bringing together institutions, new and established brands, a diverse array of design studios, and a cross-section of emerging talents, the exhibition will explore different and complementary directions in contemporary design practice, from research into innovative and sustainable materials to contemporary craft and sensory design.” – Alcova
