With the 2025 edition, SPAZIO MAIOCCHI — a striking industrial cathedral turned cultural destination — will introduce an EXTENSION across the street, a former gym and pool newly renovated by ASA Office. Additionally, Capsule Plaza will extend to two satellite venues in the Porta Venezia area, a former garage in VIA MAIOCCHI 23 and a high-end retail space in PIAZZA RISORGIMENTO 8.
A hybrid between a fair and a collective exhibition, Capsule Plaza will once again bring together designers and companies from various creative fields, bridging industry and culture with a bold and multisensory curation that spans interiors and architecture, beauty and technology, innovation and craft.
Capsule Plaza’s lineup across all venues includes: HEM feat. Formafantasma, Yrjö Kukkapuro, Max Lamb, Kwangho Lee, Philippe Malouin, Soft Baroque, and Faye Toogood; STONE ISLAND feat. Friendly Pressure; XL EXTRALIGHT feat. Sabine Marcelis; HUMANRACE feat. USM Modular Furniture; NO-GA feat. NM3, Willo Perron, and Paul T. Frankl; PAN x NIKE; HYDRO feat. Sabine Marcelis, Stefan Diez, Cecilie Manz, Keiji Takeuchi, and Daniel Rybakken; VOWELS feat. Waka Waka; design galleries SALON94 feat. Philippe Malouin x Lehni and FRIEDMAN BENDA feat. Misha Kahn; LACIVIDINA feat. Pierre Paulin; and special projects by Konstantin Grcic, Harry Nuriev & Tyler Billinger, Sam Chermayeff Office, and Arpa Studios.
Functional and interactive spaces will be activated throughout the week – including a gift shop presented in partnership with RICHARD LAMPERT, lounge areas by KARIMOKU and UMA, a kitchen space by 70MATERIA and ELICA, and a cafe and ice cream parlor designed by GEORG JENSEN.

About
CAPSULE PLAZA
Capsule is KALEIDOSCOPE's new sibling publication delving into the world of design in its broader definition – one that encompasses interiors and architecture, fashion and technology, ecology and craft. A hybrid between a magazine and a book, paying homage to a lineage of Italian radical design to explore our relationship with desire and consumption, Capsule is released annually during Milan Design Week. Indulging in a lavish physicality, Capsule is itself an object of radical design: large format, spiral bound, expansive in form and content. Its title is an homage to the Nakagin Capsule Tower, one of the symbols of the Japanese Metabolism movement designed by Kisho Kurokawa and built in 1972 in Tokyo, which was recently disassembled to make way for new development. Beyond print, the magazine serves as a 360° curatorial platform and creative studio, at the helm of an innovative showcase format like Capsule Plaza while also producing a clothing and home line.
