Maccapani presents MaccaFinds: Airbrushed at Milan Design Week 2025, unveiling a furniture series rooted in vintage recovery and motocross aesthetics. The collection features twelve unique items, each sourced and revamped in collaboration with a Varese-based artist known for painting helmets and motorbikes.
This project marks Maccapani’s first official entry into interiors. It evolved naturally from the creation of Macca Space, the brand’s location at Via Bergamo 22. That space served as a testing ground where fashion, design, and personal narrative began to overlap. From that setting came the impulse to explore furniture as a new extension of the brand’s vision.
From Wardrobes to Cabinets
Margherita Maccapani Missoni has long used MaccaFinds to explore discovery and reuse. Until now, the focus remained on garments and accessories. Airbrushed broadens that concept by turning to furniture, objects that carry stories not just of style but of place and function.
The collection includes a mix of items: a dresser, a glass cabinet, three coffee tables, three stools, and two lamps. Some came from antique markets, others from Margherita’s personal collection. Rather than stripping these pieces of their character, the process added to their layers.
Airbrushed designs draw directly from motocross and enduro aesthetics, cultures that shaped Margherita’s upbringing in Varese. For this collection, speed and saturation found new expression through lacquered color fields and linework applied to wood and metal.
A Visual Dialogue in a Milanese Antique Store
Maccapani chose Maddalena Tabasso Antichità as the setting for the collection, situating Airbrushed among untouched antiques. Located on Via Aurelio Saffi 7, the store provides a meaningful contrast. Viewers encounter the customized works alongside historical pieces that haven’t been altered, sparking a direct visual dialogue.
Rather than isolating the furniture in a contemporary showroom, the brand placed it in a space full of references, where the past remains visible. The location underscores the intent of the project: to engage with existing objects, not erase them.
Reuse as Method and Message
MaccaFinds: Airbrushed builds on principles already central to Maccapani’s approach. The brand continues to prioritize reuse over production, adapting materials and objects rather than creating them from scratch. With this project, those values take form in a new category, but the intent stays the same.
Furniture offered a different kind of canvas, but the tools remained familiar: surface transformation, visual layering, and attention to form. By applying these methods across disciplines, Maccapani avoids separating fashion and design into rigid categories.
