At Milano Design Week 2026, Visionnaire opens the doors of 10 Corso Como to present the VISIONNAIRE meets NM3 project, transforming the iconic concept store’s pop-up into an immersive space where design and materiality intertwine. The new collection, designed by NM3 – Nicolò Ornaghi, Francesco Zorzi, and Delfino Sisto Legnani – under the creative direction of Eleonore Cavalli, explores the balance between formal rigor, materiality, and human experience. It proposes a coherent language that spans indoor and outdoor, domestic and relational spaces. The collection stems from a reflection on matter as a medium capable of retaining traces, tensions, and transformations, and on the ability of objects to assert a presence that transcends time and space. Some surfaces appear to emerge from a slow process of stratification, while volumes do not seek perfection, but rather a form of authenticity.
The VISIONNAIRE meets NM3 capsule unfolds as a coherent system of elements – Stealth, Axiom, Carter, and Blob – where formal rigor and craftsmanship engage in a balanced dialogue. This creates an ensemble that transcends the dimension of individual products to become a spatial experience. Stealth introduces suspended platforms and intimate daybeds, while the low table layers fused glass to create depth. Axiom transforms the dining table into a domestic architectural focal point, and Carter extends the vision to the outdoors, maintaining constructive and formal coherence. Within this context, Blob emerges as the sensory heart of the collection, shaping space and transforming the perception of comfort into an architectural gesture. The chaise-longue appears as a continuous volume, molded around a technologically precise sculpted core and clad with individual elements that embrace the structure like a second skin. The caramel-colored leather surface accentuates the continuity of the form, while metallic details act as graphic markers, highlighting the tension between softness and constructive rigor. The condensed stool completes the project, transforming function into a sculptural gesture.
The forms evoke typical 1970s aesthetics, where design becomes a system and material surfaces communicate tactile and aesthetic intensity. Blob’s imagery evokes the suspended villas on the hills of Los Angeles, bathed in a cinematic and almost surreal light, reminiscent of John Lautner’s architecture. Volumes, proportions, and surfaces do not aim for formal purity, but for aesthetic tension, transforming comfort into an emotional and visual experience. Visionnaire thus continues to explore a design that does not seek neutrality, but intensity – a design that does not simplify, but amplifies the perception of space, where every object, surface, and volume becomes a narrative tool, capable of moving and engaging those who experience it.
