Raffles Milano Design Week 2026: A Landmark Edition

The 2026 edition of Raffles Milano Design Week was one of the most remarkable and impactful moments in the school’s recent history.

Conceived and led by Elena Sacco, Director of Strategy and Relations together with Raffles Team, the project turned Design Week into a powerful platform connecting education, industry, creativity and international dialogue. Cupra, Banca Investis, Trussardi, Unicef, Natuzzi, Senco Diamonds and Jewels among the others.

Students presented real projects developed for leading companies and institutions, transforming academic work into concrete responses to real business and design challenges. At the same time, the Raffles Talk / Podcast Design Editionbrought students into direct conversation with some of the most influential voices in global design, including Mauro Porcini, President Global Design at Samsung; Ottavio Missoni Jr and Pasquale Natuzzi Jr; Federico Ferretti, Head of Design at Haier; Matthieu Aquino, Head of Global Design at Kraft Heinz; and Cosimo Dorato, Design Director at Trussardi.

Through exhibitions, live talks, student-led content and industry collaborations, Raffles Milano created a dynamic and memorable Design Week experience — one that celebrated not only design, but a new way of learning: real, international, collaborative and deeply connected to the professional world.
