With the 2026 edition at Corferias (May 12-15), the wood and furniture sector arrives with a clear agenda: real productivity, process control and increasingly demanding surfaces.

A Milan Design Week 2026 initiative points to an industry shift bigger than any single brand: manufacturers and designers are starting to treat workshop waste as design feedstock-using digital workflows, CNC and data.
