SALONE 2026

At Milano Design Week 2026, CLAUDIO BELLINI Design Group presented a series of new collections across different collaborations, reflecting a consistent approach to form, material, and contemporary living.

At the Salone del Mobile, the Studio introduced four home collections designed for Caracole: Sasso sofa collection, Bold collection, Tobie table collection and Viola table collection.

For Natuzzi Italia, Claudio Bellini designed the Dwell sofa, the Riva chair, the Pan table collection and the Luma vanity desk.

SASSO balances European styling with American comfort, combining refined aesthetics with a generous, welcoming character. Defined by soft, pebble-like volumes and controlled curves, it expresses an organic yet precise design language. The collection is based on a flexible modular system, with linear and curved elements that allow fluid configurations adapting to different spaces. Generous proportions and a relaxed seating experience emphasize comfort, while a palette ranging from neutral tones to more expressive colors reinforces its versatility.

TOBIE is a sculptural, refined design that balances clean geometry with soft, controlled movement. Its base—formed by two offset curved elements with rounded edges—creates a composition that is both architectural and fluid, inspired by the smoothness of river stones. The lacquered top with a protective glass surface enhances depth, shine, and durability, combining aesthetic precision with everyday functionality. A soft-silver base adds a subtle touch of light and sophistication.

BOLD is defined by a sculptural and highly recognizable design language, where simplicity becomes a statement. Rounded shapes and full volumes define the collection’s identity, creating pieces with a strong visual presence while maintaining a sense of balance and clarity. The design is bold yet controlled, built on essential geometries that give each element a clear and confident character. The collection spans seating, bed and complementary pieces, all defined by a coherent and continuous design language. Its aesthetic draws on the legacy of iconic 1960s design, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. The result is a collection that feels both familiar and current, combining expressive forms with a refined, modern sensibility.

VIOLA is defined by an architectural and refined design approach, where softened forms create a sense of balance and composure. The collection is characterized by a distinctive pill-shaped top, establishing a continuous and harmonious outline. This is contrasted by a sculptural walnut base composed of two opposing, continuous organic curves, detailed with Caracole’s signature reeding and accented by a refined bronze-toned metal trim, adding rhythm and depth to the composition. The metallic detailing introduces a subtle touch of glamour, enhancing the design without disrupting its clean and controlled aesthetic. The result is a collection that balances structure and fluidity, where decorative detail is resolved within a clear and contemporary design language.

Designed by Claudio Bellini for Natuzzi Italia, DWELL sofa invites you to settle in, explore, and truly dwell in softness. Its distinctive folded shape —composed of soft, rhythmic volumes—creates a sense of movement. These sculptural “folds” are not only expressive, but enhance comfort, wrapping the body in a continuous, tactile embrace.

“With DWELL, we worked on a sofa defined by soft volumes and a clear sense of rhythm. The folded shape gives character to the piece, while enhancing comfort and creating a welcoming presence within the living space.”

PAN stems from the search for a balance between mass and lightness. The design draws on archetypal forms: a solid, sculptural base that rises like a tapered column, supporting a top with rounded, defined lines. The contrast between stability and suspension is further emphasized by the interplay between the smooth finish of the base and the more textured finish of the top.

The table is characterized by a compact, architectural truncated cone-shaped central base, which serves as the visual focal point of the piece. This is contrasted by a top with clean, continuous lines, designed to lighten the composition. The connection between the base and the top is designed to minimize visual impact, accentuating the sensation of lightness and making the top appear almost suspended. PAN defines itself as a sculptural yet balanced element, capable of giving identity to a space through a calibrated dialogue between volumes, proportions, and materials.

Light is a fundamental element of harmony. LUMA, from “lumen,” shapes a personal sanctuary where reflection—both literal and introspective—meets beauty rituals. Its luminous presence brings clarity, softness, and balance to intimate daily moments.

RIVA chair captures the gentle rhythm of coastal landscapes, where curves meet elegance. Its slender, sculptural form embraces the body with quiet sophistication, offering a light welcoming presence in any space.
