At the heart of Milano Design Week 2026, Milano Design Forest: The Trees of the Forest returns once again—an installation through which Corà brings a fragment of nature and wood culture into the city.
In Largo La Foppa, between number 86 of Corso Garibaldi and the pedestrian area of the Brera district, the FuoriSalone becomes a stage to tell the company’s story—an expressive balance of technological innovation, artisanal tradition, and sustainable forest management.
“Milano Design Forest: The Trees of the Forest”
at Corso Garibaldi 86
The installation carries a strong ethical message, placing trees at its center—symbols of life and nature’s regeneration, evoking a return to our origins, when nature prevailed around the earliest ancestral shelters.
In cities, the preservation of existing greenery, as well as the urgent need to plant new green spaces, will become increasingly vital in the future. This will require the development of ecological networks capable of safeguarding biodiversity, helping us reconnect with the natural balance we deeply need.
Corà’s tree canopies are crafted using natural finishes that reflect the company’s various parquet and boiserie collections. Horizontal surfaces transform into wall coverings and furniture, creating a seamless stylistic continuity in interior spaces
The dual-sided canopy of each of the five trees presents two distinct design proposals, each accompanied by a descriptive verse dedicated to the product: from iconic collections such as Wave, embodying Corà’s most forward-thinking spirit, to Forever1919, which reflects its long-standing heritage.
The forest thus becomes a narrative of a family-run company that has surpassed a century of history: within these trees, the seeds of new product offerings are symbolically planted, in a continuous homage to the sustainable management of forests.
The exhibition path unfolds through several of the company’s collections: Impulso and Miraggio, created in collaboration with the architecture studio Pininfarina; the wooden flooring lines Wave, Fabbrica 4.0, Forever1919, Genesi, and Century; and finally Plissè wall coverings, crafted from engineered wood veneer and designed for the creation of furniture, interior elements, and boiserie.
Let yourself be transported by sounds and scents into Corà’s urban wooden forest!
Milano Design Week 2026 will be a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Corà’s world and discover its vision for a more sustainable future. We look forward to welcoming you to our locations for a sensory experience blending nature and design.
