Interactivity

Milan Design Week 2025 showcased a clear shift towards nature-inspired design, biophilia, and sustainability. From algae bio-panels and mycelium furniture to recycled ocean plastic, designers embraced natural materials and processes. Tactile textures, organic forms, and a muted, earthy colour palette dominated, creating calming and restorative spaces. This biophilic focus extended beyond aesthetics, emphasizing circular design principles and local production to minimize environmental impact. The event also highlighted the growing influence of digital technologies, merging the physical and digital worlds through augmented reality experiences and interactive installations.
