This immersive showcase is always my favorite place for scouting new talents, and this year, they expanded the location to include a dilapidated factory in the area. Raneiri was the standout for me. The lava stone resource grants designers an impressive creative range, with options to apply the natural material to walls, counters, and furnishings. And I’m not alone: When catching up with designer Mario Milana this week, he shared he recently collaborated with them on tabletop surfaces.—HM

Philippe Malouin x Lehni at Salon 94
Lehni is the company that produced all of Donald Judd’s metal furniture, and this season’s Bent Aluminium collection marks the company’s first designer collab since Judd. Malouin’s pieces are super industrial and beautiful in highlighter hues. The designer calls it “manufacturing porn,” highlighting the meticulous craft behind industrial design.—HM
Wallpaper by San Patrignano x Arjumand’s World
San Patrignano, the artisan collective that employs a community of people affected by addiction, collaborated with Arjumand’s World for a collection of wallpapers profuse in color, pattern, and technique. Very Mongiardino evocative, the patterns are inspired by far east Asia and the Middle East, from a stamped leather damask to brightly colored tile patterns.—MO
