Piazza Giustiniani, Genoa. Genova Design Week 2026.
From 3 to 7 June 2026 the historic centre of Genoa turned to design again. The seventh edition of the Genova Design Week, organised by DiDe — the Genoa Design District — took equilibrium as its theme: a word we work with every day, because solid wood is exactly that — a simple form carrying the weight of everything else.
Seven years of design across the city
The programme ran from Via dei Giustiniani down to the old port: exhibitions in the entrance halls of historic palaces, installations in the squares, talks and events open to the city. The 2025 edition closed with 141 events, 10 exhibitions and 142 exhibitors; in 2026 the district kept the same formula. Design does not stay inside a stand — it steps into the street.
Our cloud
This year we did not bring a display unit. We brought a cloud: a large soft white sculpture set on the paving stones, an armchair at its centre and a light running through it. Beside it stood a sign with our name and a QR code leading to the catalogue.
Where we were
Our installation stood in Piazza Giustiniani, in the historic centre of Genoa, in the middle of the design district. Thank you to everyone who stopped and to those who asked where the wood comes from.
Next stops
2026 is not over for us: we exhibited at Salone del Mobile.Milano in April and we will be at Arredamont in Longarone from 31 October to 8 November.
