FUORISALONE 2026, COSTARIPA MEETS CLASSINESS, DESIGN AT THE STATE STATION

The new edition of Fuorisalone 2026 opened on Sunday with one of the most anticipated events of the week: the "INTERNI" vernissage at the University of Milan, in the evocative setting of the Statale. This preview event welcomed approximately 900 guests, including designers, architects, press, and key figures from the international creative world, marking the official start of Design Week.

In this context of excellence, the dialogue between disciplines has extended beyond the project to embrace the world of hospitality and wine. Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences , a hotel company that has always been attentive to the language of design and the quality of the experience, has created a narrative that intertwines territories, identities, and shared visions.

Against this backdrop, Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences presented its destinations through four bouvettes, each dedicated to a region and a property selected for its strong connection to design. The journey spanned Lake Garda with Salò, Veneto with Jesolo, Sicily with Licata, and Alto Adige, creating a complex narrative in which each destination found its own expressive identity.

Costaripa was chosen by the Falkensteiner group to represent the reality of Salò, interpreting the character of the Garda area with coherence and sensitivity and strengthening an affinity based on shared elegance and savoir-faire .

More than a selection, a natural meeting of similar visions: on the one hand, the winemaking style of Costaripa with the RosaMara and Mattia Vezzola Metodo Classico Rosé labels, on the other the hospitality of Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences, both an expression of measured refinement and timeless elegance.

During the opening evening at the Statale, Costaripa labels accompanied the guests' journey with discretion and character, interpreting an idea of elegant sobriety that eschews excess in favor of refinement. A presence consistent with the context, capable of engaging with the installations and spaces without overpowering them, but rather amplifying their sensorial dimension.

The common thread was materiality: a shared value that unites the worlds of high-end hospitality and fine wine. On the one hand, the design focus of Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences, which transforms every stay into an aesthetic experience; on the other, the pursuit of authentic and respectful viticulture, characterized by balance and precision, which defines the Costaripa style, a historic expression of the Garda region.

In a Fuorisalone increasingly focused on the cross-fertilization of languages, the collaboration between Falkensteiner and Costaripa has become a narrative in which design, hospitality, and dedicated viticulture have shared the same vocabulary of culture, aesthetics, and vision.

A toast that celebrated not only the start of Design Week, but also a contemporary take on the Italian lifestyle: cultured, measured, and deeply rooted in places and their histories.
