From April 7 to 13, during Milan Design Week 2025, Deoron will present its first-ever physical exhibition, Deoron Elevating Objects, at Via Paolo Frisi 3 in Porta Venezia. Known for its online shop directory, curated magazine, and global influence, Deoron now steps beyond the screen to create an immersive experience rooted in the same sensibility that built its following.
This move marks a transition for the platform, from a digital reference point for design discovery to an in-person curatorial force. Deoron has long connected brands and designers with a design-savvy audience seeking quality and distinction. With this exhibition, it brings that same vision to life through furniture, lighting, and accessories that challenge expectations and prompt emotional responses.
Over 40 Designers Across Continents
The exhibition features more than 40 designers and brands from across Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania. Many are showing their work at Milan Design Week for the first time. Deoron draws no line between emerging and well-known names, instead, it selects based on quality and relevance. The focus remains entirely on the object: how it functions, how it feels, and how it speaks within the context of contemporary living.
Berlin-based Objekte Unserer Tage honors German design roots while reflecting Kreuzberg’s creative energy. Tubes redefines the radiator as a design object, offering 140+ color options across sculptural forms like Milano/totalcolour. Possi, created by Tanita Klein, brings modularity and adaptability into kitchens and wardrobes, making furniture that reshapes itself across home and commercial settings.
Roham Shamekh introduces Pharrell’s Echoes, a sculptural series inspired by Pharrell Williams, combining classical and digital design with social commentary. Gessen Studio, based in Amsterdam, crafts expressive, glossy forms from materials that play with color and light. Tina Bobbe fuses AI and postmodern aesthetics in industrial designs like her colorful espresso machines.
Research, Process, and Narrative
Each piece in the exhibition tells its own story. Hélène Lauth explores intuitive ceramic design with her Study series, while Orr Gidon merges sustainability with glass and metal in his modular Auras light collection. From the revived 1960s modular candleholders by Stoff Nagel to Matéo Garcia’s large-scale mono sound system, which enhances the exhibition with texture-rich audio, visitors encounter both design and the processes behind it.
Thuono’s Italian-made turntables combine advanced mechanics with natural stone and aluminum. Studio Booboon’s Jogak Light Sculptures reimagine Korean bojagi using textile offcuts, while MK9’s mechanical coffee tables focus on sculptural weight and precision. Goodesign, a Caribbean-American furniture company based in New York, uses aluminum i-beam shapes to create modular stools that evolve into desks or shelving systems.
The range extends further: Endless Rhythm introduces vessels designed for water purification, combining ceramics with recycled plastic. Pepita Design blends traditional materials with foam and metal to create the Glassa collection. Soledre, based in Toulouse, works with ceramics and terrazzo to build immersive, narrative-driven objects.
Play, Texture, and Identity
Flora Lechner plays with gender-coded aesthetics in her light series, merging floral forms with technoid figures. Renaud Defrancesco‘s anodized aluminum lamps reference LED cooling fins, mixing utility with aesthetics. Sofia De Francesco fuses walnut and steel in her T4 Tray and C1 Coaster to update dining accessories with architectural clarity.
Pia Scheiber’s oak Kanji Stool finds inspiration in Japanese calligraphy. Yunju Jung experiments with pine resin to contrast natural and artificial textures. Fabio Lauria creates reactive aluminum seating and vases, while Gabor Gobi crafts poetic, charred-wood candleholders that rethink material life cycles.
Familiar Form, led by Myeonga Seo and Marie Kolářová, brings together craft techniques and graphic storytelling. Pablo Octavio’s foam furniture mimics carved stone, painted with UV-proof coatings for durability. Zowa’s steel-and-aluminum lamp emphasizes raw texture and functionality. Judith Kamp’s Nostudio creates aluminum vases built from pure form repetition, while Nodi Studio channels Memphis-inspired porcelain into sculptural lamps.
A Multisensory Experience
Deoron doesn’t treat the exhibition as static. The addition of Matéo Garcia’s advanced sound system brings another layer to the experience, turning the room into a dynamic space where audio and object exist in parallel. Sound becomes a co-creator, encouraging visitors to slow down, focus on material details, and feel each object in a different way.
