FENIX are the innovative materials created for interior design by Arpa Industriale in 2013. The FENIX family is now an open system that includes both surface materials and interior solutions. Created with proprietary technologies, FENIX makes you experience unique features. At first glance, the surfaces strike for their super–matt appearance. By touching them, you feel how pleasantly soft they are, with the further surprise of leaving no fingerprints. Thermal healing of superficial micro–scratches is also possible. Stories coming from different sides of the world are the inspiration behind FENIX timeless palette. Its surfaces are suitable for furnishing and interior fitting with vertical and horizontal applications.

FENIX and Formica present FAST / FORWARD, a project based on the synergy between the two brands and which stages a narrative that looks to the future while maintaining a connection with the past. Curated by Federica Sala, it continues a research journey that began in 2024. A voyage through time in which six international designers — Federica Biasi, Laurids Gallée, Thabisa Mjo, Tino Seubert, Panter&Tourron, and Uchronia — were invited to reinterpret a historical period, from 1920s to 2010s, through the creation of a contemporary furniture piece. The exhibition, accompanied by a graphic project and set–up designed by Parco Studio in collaboration with the MUSA team, revisits the materials across several decades.

Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt creates exclusive bespoke lighting pieces. Working with plexiglass and brass, she develops lamps shaped by a close dialogue between colour, transparency, and form. Layered hues and shifting light create depth and visual presence, while patinated brass adds a warmer, tactile tone. Each lamp is a sculptural object that brings a composed architectural presence to a space. She also creates larger installations by grouping multiple lamps. Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt collaborates with Nilufar Gallery in Milan and designs for Gubi.

Kaikale is an India-based furniture brand rooted in local craftsmanship and people-driven making. In collaboration with the Scandinavian architect Alexander Mihel, the work brings together traditional Indian carpentry and Scandinavian design principles. Kaikale x Alexander Mihel presents a furniture collection developed over 2,5 years through a hands-on collaborative process. The collection is made using carpentry-based methods, working with established hardwoods and also experimenting with non-forest timber such as coconut timber. In India, the coconut tree has traditionally been fully utilised, with every part used. The furniture continues this approach by giving coconut wood a long life as durable, long-lasting pieces.
