Within the landscape of Italian design, Carpanese Home stands as a refined synthesis of tradition and innovation, translating its cabinetmaking heritage into a distinctive contemporary language. From the tailored craftsmanship of wood to the sculptural lines of its most recent collections, the brand has built a strong identity over time, collaborating with designers such as Giorgio Bonaguro and Simone Bonanni. At Milan Design Week 2024 and 2025, the “Rising” and “Unfolding” collections marked key milestones in an evolving path defined by formal reduction and material research.

Today, this journey continues with “Composing,” unveiled at Milan Design Week 2026. Curated by Studio Federico Peri, the collection introduces a new design chapter centered on the act of composing, shaped through the work of five designers: a process that brings together form, material, and proportion in a balanced dialogue, from fleeting effects and grounded in substance.

“Composing” stands out for a language that evolves through new proportions and a bold material palette. The addition of designers such as Cristina Celestino and Sebastian Herkner enriches the project’s narrative: the table becomes a space for convivial architecture, while upholstered pieces and seating explore detail as a defining element. Alongside them, Bonaguro, Bonanni, and Matteo Zorzenoni develop a new generation of furnishings—desks, consoles, and coffee tables—where irregular ceramics, subtle metals, and woods enhanced in their natural texture create surfaces that feel alive and tactile. The concept of grafting returns as a crafted gesture, transforming each piece into an almost sculptural presence.

The story of the collection culminates in the 2026 catalogue, conceived as a true editorial volume: photographs set within historic architectures, combined with art direction and graphic design, convey a coherent and immersive vision of the brand. “Composing” thus becomes more than a collection—it is a statement of method, an invitation to think of design as a balance between memory and project, material and vision.
