Swiss Design in Mailand
formcollection at Tortona Design Week 2025
Design meets sustainability
In April 2025, formcollection was part of the official Swiss exhibition at Tortona Design Week, one of the hotspots of the world-renowned Milan Design Week. Together with seven other Swiss design labels, we showed how recycled materials can be turned into stylish furniture – through innovation, creative design, and 3D printing.
Our focus was deliberately on the WAVE collection: the wave-shaped furniture made from recycled carbon fibers was presented to an international audience for the first time, and we were delighted with the feedback.
That's what we've shown.
- How industrial waste is turned into modular furniture
- How Swiss design performs worldwide
- How sustainability can look modern
The exhibition took place from April 7 to 13, 2025, at Via Tortona 14 – a central location where design enthusiasts and creative minds from around the world come together.
A special moment:
On the second day, we welcomed Federal Councilor Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, Ambassador Roberto Balzaretti, and Consul Lazzarotto. The exchange on design, innovation, and sustainability was inspiring—and a special honor for us.
We return with new contacts, valuable feedback, and lots of ideas. Above all, however, we return with the confirmation that our furniture has a place not only in the room, but also in the discourse.
“Thank you to all our visitors – we look forward to seeing you again. Perhaps in Milan or elsewhere in the world. But certainly soon.”
