What will we find inside Capsule Plaza

From 16–21 April 2024, Capsule Plaza returns for its second edition, continuing to infuse Milan Design Week with new energy while expanding its global reach. 

In addition to taking over Spazio Maiocchi — a striking former industrial cathedral in the Porta Venezia area — the 2024 edition of Capsule Plaza will extend to a new satellite venue: iconic Milanese destination 10 Corso Como, with galleries dedicated to art and design newly-renovated by the interdisciplinary agency 2050+.

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. 

The 2024 edition of Capsule Plaza in Milan is co-curated by Capsule’s founder and creative director, Alessio Ascari, with architect Paul Cournet. In tandem with the opening, Capsule will release the third issue of the magazine — an annual publication reimagining the notion of radical design for today.
