Overview
On the occasion of Milano Design Week 2026, Calligaris and Twinset Milano present an exclusive collaboration exploring the dialogue between furniture design and fashion. The Collection 2026 places fabric at the centre as a primary language of expression, combining design and craftsmanship to reinterpret seating as an emotive object.

Collaboration concept
In this project the textile is not merely a covering but a defining design element that interacts with the soft, embracing volumes of the seating. The collaboration prioritises tactility, surface narrative and a balance between comfort and a refined stylistic identity.

Product focus
The collaboration highlights the Glen Soft chair and armchair, designed by Gino Carollo. Through Twinset’s textile expertise these pieces feature a fully upholstered shell that emphasises tactile qualities and visual continuity. Fluid lines and balanced proportions make Glen Soft suitable for residential and contract interiors.

Design intent
The project communicates a bohemian-inspired aesthetic shaped by expressive freedom, lightness and material research. Seating becomes a sensory element that engages space through texture, light and discreet presence while supporting relaxation and contemplation.

About Twinset Milano
Twinset Milano is an Italian fashion house founded in Carpi in 1990, known for knitwear, lace and embroidered details that express a romantic, contemporary femininity. The brand’s textile savoir-faire informs the collaboration’s material language.

Multimedia
The presentation includes large-scale photography and editorial videos documenting the collaboration and interpretations of the Glen Soft seating.
