Love. Live. Create with Nexion tiles

The threadwork of connection  

Inspired by the Fuorisalone theme Connected Worlds, Nexion’s installation seeks to explore the invisible threads that bind us all — passion, creativity and the undeniable pull of aesthetics. It also explores design as a conduit for connection between people, materials and ideas. Each word anchors a distinct spatial and emotional experience. Love evokes passion and reflection, Live brings design into architectural motion and Create celebrates the artistry and innovation behind every crafted surface. Together, they form a layered dialogue on how design shapes not just spaces, but the way we inhabit them.

A symphony in sintered surfaces 

The preview of Ombre at Nexion fuses ancient earth with modern artistry, unveiling four elemental tones and four engraved patterns, each cut 1.5 mm deep which is a sculptural feature unique to the brand. What makes Ombre truly stand apart is its timeworn finish — an intentional ‘erasure’ effect that mimics the passage of time. The sintered surface panels are etched with rhythmic engravings and organic textures displayed vertically to evoke the sensation of stepping into a living, breathing space. 

A soiree overlooking Milan

The Nexion experience found its crescendo high above the city at an exclusive evening soirée overlooking the iconic Duomo di Milano — a setting as timeless and textured as the tiles themselves. Hosted on the panoramic rooftop of a historic palazzo, the party brought together a curated guest list of architects, designers, editors and tastemakers from around the world, many of whom had spent the day exploring Brera’s buzzing design trail.

Warm lighting spilled across terrazzo floors, flutes of prosecco clinked in celebration as conversations meandered from surface textures to stories of travel and design dreams echoing the emotional resonance of Love. Live. Create.  As music floated through the spring air under the cathedral’s golden glow, the event embodied Milan’s unique ability to merge design, culture and connection in one harmonious moment.
