This May - amid the season of major international exhibitions in Italy - the 10 Corso Como Gallery presents a special tribute to Arte Povera master Jannis Kounellis, unveiling a powerful site-specific project in collaboration with Galleria Fumagalli. Within the newly reimagined spaces of 10 Corso Como—once industrial interiors—the powerful and rigorous language of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century takes form. It is an invitation to reflection and silence: the white space of the gallery is transformed into an essential theatre in which the visitor becomes the protagonist.The dramaturgy is built around a single large-scale installation, created by the Greek artist in 2009, consisting of seventy black coats arranged like stains and traces of the past—a powerful and silent device for introspection. In a present marked by profound political and social upheaval, in which migration, displacement, and the condition of human beings in transit have once again become central to global debate, the work stands as an invitation to pause and look beyond the surface.Kounellis moved through unconventional artistic venues—churches, garages, ruins, former industrial spaces—bringing exhibition practice beyond museums and galleries toward a public and shared dimension. In the large white space of 10 Corso Como Gallery, the installation unfolds as a dense sequence of coats: objects that preserve both the material and immaterial traces of those who wore them, becoming signs of absence, presence, testimony, and memory. These are not simple garments, but traces of lived lives, bearers of individual and collective stories, symbols of protection, vulnerability, and movement. The coat thus becomes a direct reference to the human being, placed at the centre of the artist’s inquiry, within a grand one-act piece in which life itself takes the stage.Within the context of 10 Corso Como—a place deeply connected to visual culture, fashion, and the intersection of artistic disciplines—the coat acquires layered meanings. The work invites viewers to suspend judgment and reflect on clothing as a testimony of time: an element rich with cultural references, linked to the literary tradition of Nikolai Gogol and Fyodor Dostoevsky, as well as to Italian neorealist cinema, an allegory of nomadism and diaspora, and a powerful bearer of social history. In this installation, it becomes stain, cast, body, and shroud, embracing both a sacred and a social dimension.Jannis Kounellis.

The third edition of Olfactory Signals, the new fragrance salon, returns to 10 Corso Como from Thursday June 4th to Sunday 7th, 2026.Founded by System Preferences in 2024, Olfactory Signals is conceived as an incubator and platform for scent-based narratives, showcasing avant-garde expressions of fragrance from around the world in a design-conscious environment celebrating the convergence of art, science and wellbeing. Housed within the Project Room a diverse selection of fragrance projects are showcased as individual exhibitors – allowing each maker the space to present their aesthetic and olfactory universe Over 30 international makers converge in this intimate setting designed for contemplation and commerce, with both a wholesale and retail model allowing for immediate purchase and business development opportunities alike.In the Gallery and Mezzanine, site-specific interventions by exhibitors are curated alongside installations by contributing artists, offering tangible manifestations of this invisible medium. Sculpture, photography and sound co-exist in projects that position scent as both a mythical and politicized medium – asking philosophical questions concerning the transmission, ownership and agency of scent. Installations include, , The Field of Possibilities by Chiara Capellini, where scent is sealed inside an inaccessible vessel, and Fragrance Fountain (fig. 76) by Fabian Bergmark Näsman together with Haisam Mohammed, in which perfume is misted directly into the air from the branches of a miniature tree. Elsewhere, a series of Zeroth air purifiers conceived by Octave Perrault continuously cleanse the air, in an affirmative gesture constantly regenerating the atmospheric density of the space.OS.03 evolves the radical spirit that defined OS.01 (2025), wherein the Norwegian artist and smell researcher Sissel Tolaas installed Papier Rollen [Paper Reels] 1-4M. Following their collaborative work CO_LAB Breath of One Many for OS.02 at MATTER and SHAPE (2026) in March, Tolaas returns with the French architect Octave Perrault to present OPEN AI®️ — treating the 10·Corso·Como Rooftop not as architecture but as an interface with the sky — a field where air moves freely and carries information across space. Based on the premise that air and water are the last truly free elements, the installation is structured through distinct “pillow areas”, positioned according to the cardinal directions of the wind. Each pillow is nano-embedded with molecular compositions that correspond to light, temperature, movement, andtime, creating an atmosphere that changes throughout the day, and an invisible choreography of perception. The existing garden provides an organic infrastructure wherein artificial molecules are introduced by Tolaas, creating invisible friction between the organic and the engineered. Guests are offered water infused with molecules, acting not only as refreshment but as a continuation of the project’s elemental logic: a carrier of taste, memory, and life.AGENDA5 June 202610:00 – 11:00 Conversation 1(Art)iculating SmellSissel Tolaas & Octave PerraultModerated by Dan Thawley11:15 – 12:00 Conversation 2Fragrance Fountain (fig. 76)Fabian Bergmark Näsman & Haisam Mohammed Moderated by Dan Thawley 18.30 – 19:30 Stella of SoundQOA — sonic experience aural architectures for floating states of perception language of vibrations6 June 202611:00 – 11:45 Conversation 3Beyond Human Sense - Translating the Metal MindVittorio Maria Dal Maso & Emma McCormick GoodhartModerated by Dan Thawley18:00 – 18:45 Conversation 4The Field of PossibilitiesChiara Capellini & Ambra MartoneModerated by Dan Thawley 7 June 2026Cromo Tea Ceremony hosted by Jenny D.

Moncler Collection floats into its Puffy Summer season, with the brand’s signature puffiness reimagined for lighter, brighter days outdoors. The new vision unfolds in a transitional wardrobe designed for seasonal weather shifts: soft, sculptural, colorful, and perfectly puffed for elevated layering – brought to life in a playful new campaign starring Jamie Dornan.Inspired by Moncler’s signature puffiness and its instinct for layering – now reimagined for summer – the campaign presents a series of playful, inflatable-like animal sculptures created by set designer Andy Hillman and his team. An octopus, whale, lobster, seahorse, crab and flamingo appear in perfectly matched hues from the collection. Familiar seaside creatures, they embody the seasonal mood: bold, buoyant and beautifully puffy.Continuing the expression of Puffy Summer, a pop-up at Milan Design Week brings one of the campaign’s supersized mascots into the heart of the city. From April 16–28, a larger-than-life puffy octopus animates 10 Corso Como in a bold, super-scale display of Moncler’s innovative design language. Clinging to the iconic façade and extending into the interior, the tentacled installation is framed by a 24-look mannequin formation, styled in the lightweight layers of the Summer 2026 collection.From Thursday 16 to Monday 20 April: 10:30am - 7:30pm (Free admission) From Tuesday 21 to Sunday 26 April: 10:00am - 8:30pm (Free admission) From Monday 27 to Tuesday 28 April: 10:30am - 7:30pm (Free admission) 10 Corso Como Gallery and Rooftop, First and second floor

Visionnaire unveils a capsule design NM3 - Nicolò Ornaghi, Francesco Zorzi and Delfino Sisto Legnani - under the creative direction of Eleonore Cavalli.Comprising nine pieces — Stealth (bed, day-bed and coffee table); Blob (chaise longue and stool); Axiom (dining table); and Carter (a family of outdoor upholstered seating) — the collection takes shape as a coherent system in which formal rigor and craftsmanship exist in balance.Each piece seems to exist outside of time, and precisely for this reason, feels deeply contemporary. The result is a collection of objects that do not dominate space, but intensify it — making it deeper, more intimate, more meaningful. The collection is accompanied by a photographic project by Federico Hurth, in  which the Swiss photographer’s gaze places design in dialogue with architectural photography. A series of images where his uncompromising visual language embraces shadow and contrast. From Monday 20 to Sunday 26 April: 10:00am - 8:30pm (Free admission) 10 Corso Como Pop-up, Ground floor Free access upon registration

Imperfettolab returns to 10 Corso Como for Milan Design Week and presents the installation SONNAMBULO LUCIDO, which develops through cumuliform aggregations.  Forms arrange themselves in space as if in a threshold state, between abandonment and control. Each element appears to emerge without intention, while maintaining a precise tension within the system. It is a condition in which vision guides the gesture without ever losing control: a subtle balance between drift and awareness. Forms transform through subtraction and reworking, retaining an archaic and imperfect materiality that opens to ever-changing configurations, shaping a language in continuous evolution.  From Monday 20 to Sunday 26 April: 10:00am - 8:30pm (Free admission)  10 Corso Como Mezzanine, Mezzanine floor
