The seventh edition of Alcova will be set in two of the most extraordinary villas
of the Milan metropolitan area: Villa Borsani and Villa Bagatti Valsecchi.
Villa Borsani, completed in 1945, is a Modernist architectural masterpiece by
Osvaldo Borsani, noted for its lush gardens and distinctive elements like a
Lucio Fontana fireplace, and serves as a center for the Archivio Osvaldo Borsani.
Built for a noble Milanese family, who used it as a summer retreat to escape
the heat of the city and to entertain guests and friends, Villa Bagatti Valsecchi
is one the most significant examples of 19th-century villa architecture in the
Lombardy region.
Both villas, accessible from central Milan in 25 minutes via the S2 and S4 lines,
will host Alcova's curated selection of experimental designers, institutions,
and an array of talks and performances, exploring the future of living and making.
Alcova 2024 will take place from 15-21 April 2024.
Alcova is a platform for designers, companies, institutions and researchers
investigating the future of living and making. Each year during the world's
largest design event, Milan Design Week, Alcova brings together the people defining design culture
today through groundbreaking work on living environments, products, systems, materials and technological innovation.
Founded in 2018 by Valentina Ciuffi (Studio Vedèt)
and Joseph Grima (Space Caviar),
Alcova has become one of the most widely followed projects in the Fuorisalone, regularly attracting over 90.000 visitors.
