Talking Walls was launched in 2023 as a platform for empowering young designers
The fourth season of Casa Milano’s Talking Walls sets out to explore these questions through design, bringing four global cities into one creative setting at Casa Milano’s flagship showroom in Dubai from 17th to 19th November 2026.
Spearheaded by Azhar Sajan, Talking Walls was launched in 2023 as a platform dedicated to celebrating and empowering young and emerging designers. The current edition will bring together junior designers from four established design firms, DWP, K4, Pinnacle Interiors and OBMI, who will draw inspiration from New York, Dubai, Tokyo and Paris, translating each city’s character into a distinct interior design interpretation.
“By moving the showcase into a hospitality-inspired setting, we also want to demonstrate how design extends beyond visual appeal to the materials, functionality, and finer details that shape the experience of a space,” explained Azhar Sajan, Founder, Casa Milano.
Moving beyond the bathroom-focused installations of previous years, this edition will reimagine the concept through five-star hotel suite models, bringing together approximately 12 key product categories from Casa Milano and Danube Hospitality to showcase a more comprehensive approach to interior design and hospitality.
Visitors will also be able to engage with interactive experiences, such as panel discussions, wellness sessions, and expert-led hospitality sessions, including a zero-percent cocktail experience by Quooker, adding a social and experiential element to the three-day programme.
