At Villa Necchi Campiglio, design feels almost suspended in time.
Built in the 1930s by architect Piero Portaluppi, this villa was ahead of its era, with a private pool, tennis court and technologies that felt futuristic at the time.
But what makes it even more special is how many stories it holds.
Scenes from House of Gucci were filmed here, and walking through the villa, it almost feels like stepping into a movie set. Quiet, cinematic, perfectly composed.
The space also has a strong connection to fashion. Giorgio Armani once chose this villa for a show during Milan Fashion Week, a reminder that true design doesn’t compete, it elevates.
During Milan Design Week, Gaggenau fits into this narrative effortlessly.
Founded in 1683 in Germany, Gaggenau began as a metalworks and evolved into one of the most refined kitchen appliance brands in the world. Often referred to as the choice of professional chefs, it is known for its precision engineering, understated aesthetics and uncompromising approach to materials.
There is nothing excessive in their design. Everything feels intentional, almost architectural.
Grateful to Gaggenau for the exclusive invitation.
