The Milano Design Week is one of the most photographed events in the world and, certainly, the most photographed in Milan. 

Between disposable cameras that take us back to the 1990s, new-generation digital compacts and smartphones with increasingly sophisticated lenses, the photographic gesture is now almost as much a part of the Fuorisalone as the long lines, the gadgets, the frescoed palaces and the buffet canapés. 

Also Domus, as always, trusts great photographers with the task of traversing the city during Design Week. Not to chase the most Instagrammable installations, but to build a visual narrative capable of returning the perception of the most important week of the year for Milan.

Among the best photos of 2026 are the historic buildings of Corso Venezia, the colorful installations that make us go back to childhood, the twentieth-century architecture abandoned and then rebuilt, some small detail - that you may have missed - and, finally, the people who make up Design Week.

Here we collect the most beautiful images of Fuorisalone 2026, in five continuously updated galleries.

Even if you don't know anything about design, even if you don't really care to distinguish one chair from another, even if you end up accumulating more gadgets than references during Milan week, chances are that at least once you've left your home - or office, or a cab stuck in traffic - for a very simple reason: historic buildings.
These are the most beautiful ones this year.

Sometimes Milan is gray. Sometimes-but certainly not during Design Week. Over the years, the large installations, especially those by brands like Glo, now regulars of Design Week, have become increasingly immersive and colorful. Between projections that seem to engulf you in space and spheres in which to sink as if underwater, we have collected here the most successful.

Design Week is a world of queues, noise, sound systems, passes and cars stuck in traffic. In the chaos and visual bulimia it inevitably happens that you miss something. That's why we're here, with photos of the details you may not have noticed. 

The terrace of the Torre Velasca opening for the last time, the Piscina Romano - Luigi Secchi's masterpiece - reopening to the public after a long time. And then the new Convey Building. There are many 20th-century buildings that change shape during Design Week. Below is a selection of the best.

People-and, sometimes, too many people-are the true unit of measure of Design Week: they regulate the flows, decree the successes, reveal what works and what doesn't. This gallery is dedicated to them.
