Established & Sons returns to Milan Design Week with a dedicated booth at Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026 (Hall 24, Booth D03-D05), reaffirming its commitment to experimentation and innovation in design, developing new technology and strengthening collaborations with emerging talents. This year’s collection marks a new chapter in this journey, embracing collaborations that reflect the brand’s constant search for avant-garde design languages.
Two different collections, both with a strong and unforgettable character, will be unveiled in Milan: The Original Maya Collection by Luiza Guidi and the LayUp Lounge Chair by Nathan Martell. Both projects fully embody the identity of Established & Sons, combining a high-impact aesthetic with functionality tailored to contemporary living. These new collaborations reflect the brand’s drive to explore new territories, embracing visions destined to become the icons of tomorrow.
Luiza Guidi makes her debut in the Established & Sons catalogue with The Original Maya Wall Lamp, a collection of light sculptures that, with its defined, light and linear shapes transforms the wall into a dynamic, narrative surface. Conceiving design as a tool for emotional resonance, the designer reinterprets sunlight, creating a collection that casts silhouettes so sharp they almost seem to carve into the space, resulting in a striking architectural contrast.
Switching them on becomes an experience itself: thanks to an intuitive interaction with movement, the light seems to breathe and inhabit the environment with effortless naturalness. Available in three sizes, the collection features a battery-powered LED light source and a reversible hinge that can be installed on either side. This technical versatility allows the design to adapt freely and precisely to any interior design requirement.
Nathan Martell presents the LayUp Lounge Chair, a project that pushes the limits of the material by exploring the evolving possibilities of 3D-molded veneer technologies. In this seat, a complex, multi-component construction of molded veneer joint seamlessly into a singular sculptural form. Available in bamboo, oak and walnut finishes, the collection highlights the warmth and natural grain of the material, while featuring a bamboo plywood core that reflects a sustainability-focused production approach. Beyond its striking visual presence, the LayUp Lounge Chair is designed to provide a comfortable and supportive seating experience, proving to be a versatile piece capable of harmonizing with a wide range of interior design contexts.
On one hand, the new projects by Luiza Guidi and Nathan Martell explore a bold design language, while on the other, they highlight extreme versatility. This duality reflects the brand’s identity and harmoniously complements the rest of the 2026 collection: from the tactile materiality of Medusa—the lamp collection drawn from Carlo Nason’s archives translating the heritage of Venetian blown glass into contemporary light sculptures—to the long-standing synergy with Raw Edges. This year, that partnership is renewed through the evolution of the iconic Stack and its new compact variant, Side Stack, alongside the introduction of the modular Plates Shelving Collection and the rigorous geometries of the GridWork flooring system in collaboration with Tongue & Groove.
The exhibition journey is further enriched by new contributions from Sebastian Wrong and Nao Tamura, designers who continue their ongoing dialogue with the brand, as well as the presence of Grid and Island, the iconic project by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec.
At Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026, Established & Sons reaffirms its role as a catalyst for contemporary design - where experimentation becomes reality, materials become statements, and today’s boldest ideas become tomorrow’s icons.
