In occasion of Milan Design Week 2026, ELIE SAAB Maison unveils its 2026 collection through The Milanese House – Una Notte a Milano, an immersive installation inspired by the cinematic language of 1970s Milan.
A sequence of rooms unfolding like fragments of a private story, where design is not displayed, but lived. Designed under the creative direction of Arch. Carlo Colombo and in close collaboration with Mr. Elie Saab, the collection reflects a vision of living where architecture and intimacy coexist. Rooted in Italian craftsmanship and enriched by Mediterranean sensibility, the narrative blends structure and softness, precision and sensuality, in a cinematic interpretation of contemporary living inspired by 1970s Milan.
The installation is imagined as a home rather than an exhibition, where each room reveals a scene shaped by light, sound, and atmosphere, creating a subtle yet powerful sensory journey.
Among the key pieces, the MASCAGNI sofa stands out as a bold presence, defined by its signature plissé upholstery and generous proportions. The MANZONI sofa, modular in nature, offers a wide range of configurations, combining upholstered volumes, leather, and metal elements with a strong emphasis on Italian craftsmanship. The ROYAL BYBLOS sofa expresses the grandeur of living through large, balanced volumes and a striking presence, reinterpreting the iconic BYBLOS sofa from the first collection, one of the brand’s best-selling pieces.
The dining area is defined by the ATLAS table, designed for large-scale settings where conviviality and design meet. Introduced here with the VOLO signature pattern, the table reflects an exceptional level of craftsmanship and material research. Alongside, the ORIZZONTE screen stands as an impressive element, distinguished by its large scale and antique mirrored surfaces that create depth and reflection within the space. The NOBILE desk expresses a precise and technical approach, combining marble, leather, and refined detailing into a sophisticated composition. The MUSA bed completes the collection with its balanced proportions and refined presence, shaping the bedroom with understated elegance.
At the center of the collection, the ONDA armchair is introduced as part of the Collector’s Series, defined by its fluid structure and refined material composition, where the dialogue between upholstery and its bronzed base shapes its identity. Alongside, the LOBSTER armchair is presented in a limited-edition degrade olive finish within the same series, enhancing its enveloping form and iconic silhouette.
Material research remains at the core of the collection. Fabrics such as bouclé, wool, and fine lana, entirely sourced and crafted in Italy, express a rich tactile quality, enhanced by a Mediterranean-inspired palette of olive greens, cinnamon tones, and deep natural hues. Metals are developed in refined finishes, from bronzed tones to a distinctive nocturne blue, adding depth and character. Marble selections, including Camouflage Marble and Lepanto Green, are the result of extensive research and are chosen for their unique veining and tonal richness, reinforcing the overall identity of each piece.
The narrative extends into a complete lifestyle vision through key collaborations. Kitchens and
wardrobes developed with SCIC integrate seamlessly into the overall language of the collection, while rugs created with Sahrai translate textures and colors into tactile compositions. Home décor objects, developed with Giobagnara, complete the environment with a refined layering of materials and details.
Crafted in Italy and shaped by a continuous pursuit of excellence, the 2026 collection embodies ELIE SAAB Maison’s vision of the home as a timeless expression of elegance and lifestyle.
