Summary

  • Visionnaire and NM3 debut a nine-piece system at 10 Corso Como, blending industrial rigor with high-end craftsmanship
  • Highlights include the “suspended” Stealth bed and the joint-free Blob chaise longue upholstered like a second skin

Milan Design Week 2026 became the stage for a striking dialogue between art, architecture and furniture as Visionnaire unveiled its collaboration with the NM3 collective at 10 Corso Como. Under Eleonore Cavalli’s creative direction, the project introduced nine sculptural pieces – ranging from the Stealth bed and coffee table to the Blob chaise longue and Axiom dining table – that balanced formal rigor with craftsmanship. Presented in one of Milan’s most iconic concept stores, the collection positioned itself not just as furniture, but as a system of objects designed to intensify space and deepen its meaning.

The collection’s design language is rooted in material integrity and sculptural presence. Stealth introduces an essential aesthetic, with the bed conceived as a suspended platform and the coffee table featuring a layered glass top created through successive fusions of cotissi. Blob represents the organic dimension, with a chaise longue formed as a continuous, joint‑free shape upholstered in elements that wrap the structure like a second skin, accented by graphic metal details. Axiom expands domestic scale into an architectural statement, transforming the dining table into a ceremonial centerpiece, while Carter extends this vision outdoors with upholstered seating that maintains structural coherence.

Matter in the NM3 x Visionnaire collection is treated as essential rather than decorative, with natural stones, vitrified surfaces and complex upholstery merging advanced technology and manual craftsmanship. Each piece is designed to intensify space rather than dominate it, creating environments that feel deeper and more intimate. Accompanying the collection is a photographic project by Swiss photographer Federico Hurth, whose architectural lens emphasizes shadow and contrast, further reinforcing the timeless yet contemporary character of the collaboration.
