With the 2026 edition of Capsule Plaza, the new venue at Via Achille Maiocchi 8 is presented in its fully restored form and the street transforms into a vibrant creative corridor for the global design community, unfolding through a series of activations and shaping a dynamic district experience.

Originally an industrial space, and later transformed into a gym and swimming pool, the venue, renovated by ASA Office, narrates its evolution through a stratification of past lives and measured gestures of addition and subtraction, granting the space a theatrical vocation.

A hybrid between a fair and a collective exhibition, Capsule Plaza once again brings together designers and companies from various creative fields, bridging industry and culture through a bold and multisensory curation that spans interiors and architecture, innovation and craft, hospitality and entertainment.

The theme of this year's edition, DESIGN STATE OF MIND, frames design as both practice and mindset, shaping how we perceive and inhabit the world. Beyond surface, it becomes a space of alignment – where mind and body, form and content, product and concept find balance.

Capsule Plaza’s lineup includes: STONE ISLAND “NO SEASONS”; KARIMOKU RESEARCH feat. Waka Waka, Lichen, Devon Turnbull, and Postalco; BOLON feat. Martino Gamper; NOO.MA feat. Just An Idea Books; 1X TECHNOLOGIES feat. NEO the Home Robot; BWB GROUP feat. Panter&Tourron; AEIR and WEBSESSIONS “Olfactory Intelligence”; a bar curated by NEIT feat. La Marzocco; and a Capsule gift shop.

The installations will be accompanied by a robust program of talks, workshops, listening sessions, and culinary experiences that engage a wide range of creators.

In tandem with the opening, Capsule will release the fifth issue of the magazine – an annual publication reimagining the notion of radical design for today.
