The third edition of LABÒ explores collectible design and art, transforming Barona’s industrial spaces into a hub of experimentation and research
From 6 to 11 April 2025, LABÒ returns to Milan Design Week with its third edition, establishing itself as a key platform for collectible design and artistic research. The curatorial duo The Design Blender – Elsa Lemarignier and François Leblanc di Cicilia – has selected international designers, artists, and companies to create a dynamic space for connections and experimentation.

The theme Crafting Tomorrow, Rising Ideas celebrates design as a transformative force, capable of shaping new perspectives and opportunities.
The installation Perpetuum Mobile, created by Undo-Redo in collaboration with Vimar1991, reinterprets the industrial process of yarn winding, turning it into an immersive experience that merges art and craftsmanship.
