Salone 2026: Moments in Milan

During Milan Design Week 2026, Gaggenau welcomed a select group of Club 1683 members and invited guests for Moments in Milan — a curated day exploring the intersection of architecture, culture, craftsmanship, and design. Created for architects, designers and design enthusiasts, the experience offered access to some of Milan’s most celebrated creative destinations before concluding with an exclusive preview of Gaggenau’s newest icons.
