At Casa Loewe this year, creative director Jonathan Anderson brought a new collectsion of homeware showcasing work that included blurring the decorative with functional and bringing fashion into the household.

Louis Vuitton blew it out of the water with this year’s Objets Nomades collectsion at Palazzo Bocconi. Not only was the Palazzo venue stunning, but each Objets Nomades piece was more inspiring than the next. The 10 new items unveiled by select designers included hanging chairs by the Campana brothers, along with a playful red sofa in the shape of clouds. Outside in the main courtyard was Matti Suuronen’s Futuro House, where visitors could walk inside his bright yellow UFO-like prefab concept home from the ’60s to view a modular sofa by the late Pierre Paulin.

The New York–based design studio has done it again with a stunning display of new lighting, furniture, and accessories in its space in the neighborhood of Cinque Vie. With showstopping pieces, like new lantern pendant lights and the segment tables with translucent resin basis bound together with fluted brass hardware, all in a gorgeous space. Creative director and cofounder Gabriel Hendifar has a keen sense for detail and display, which has never been more apparent than in this year’s collectsion.

Marni created a rainbow-filled tableau at Spazio Marni. The entire space was covered with brightly colored sand, which served as a bed for the brand’s traditionally woven, candy-hued furnishings, accessories, and toys. On Thursday night, the venue turned into a disco drawing in the who’s who of Salone.

Where else can you see the 15th-century house that was home to Leonardo da Vinci while he was painting The Last Supper? Curated by Martina Mondadori Sartogo, the founder of interior and design magazine Cabana, in conjunction with Airbnb, the private house featured a series of intimate experiences and interactive wonderment. One room more exquisite than the next, Sartogo featured works from the likes of architect Roberto Baciocchi and Dimore Studio alongside vignettes from known and emerging designers like Faye Toogood and Pia Wüstenberg.
