Milan Design Week 2025 has just ended, leaving behind the unmistakable mark of projects capable of inspiring, exciting and creating authentic connections between brands, creativity and the public. Among these, Ornella House represented one of the beating hearts of the entire event: a living, experiential place, capable of merging materials, languages and visions in a harmonious dialogue between aesthetics and content.
The undisputed protagonist of the exhibition was the collaboration between Molteni Varnici and Maria Vittoria Paggini, the creative mind behind the CasaOrnella concept. A partnership that, already in 2024, had left its mark on the Milanese scene and that this year has been able to surpass itself, offering an even deeper and more engaging experience.
Molteni Vernici has put in place all its technological research and its know-how in the field of special finishes to give life to surfaces that are not only looked at, but experienced. Visitors were able to experience first-hand the unique effect of zero gloss water finishes, discovering how matter can be transformed into a story, suggestion and timeless style.
CasaOrnella was not simply an exhibition space, but a space inhabited by people, thoughts and visions. Each visitor was able to experience a personal moment, walking through the rooms as if they were really inside a house where nothing is left to chance. Every detail — from walls to accessories, from metals to woods — has been treated with highly technological and sustainable finishes, in perfect balance between aesthetics and environmental responsibility.
The success was tangible: a constant influx of architects, designers, journalists, students and simple enthusiasts animated the space throughout the week. The direct dialogue with the materials, the possibility of closely observing the material nuances and of appreciating their behavior in natural light, made the experience memorable.
Molteni Vernici would like to publicly thank Maria Vittoria Paggini for the artistic vision and energy with which he guided the project, and all the people who contributed to the creation of CasaOrnella: from the technical partners to the curators of the exhibition, to the public who enthusiastically chose to enter and let themselves be surprised.
Le special finishes Molteni Vernici, and in particular zero gloss water solutions, are now increasingly in demand in interior design, contract and high-end hotel projects. Their ability to Dialogue with light and touch, combined with the environmentally friendly approach, makes them the perfect answer for those looking for expressive, functional and sustainable surfaces.
Design Week 2025 marked a new step forward in the direction of conscious and multisensory design, where finishes are no longer a technical detail, but a key element of the architectural narrative. In this context, Molteni Vernici reaffirms its identity as a strategic partner for design studios, luxury brands and advanced artisans looking for tailor-made solutions with very high performance.
We can only reiterate our thanks to all those who have contributed to the success of CasaOrnella: those who created it, those who participated, those who simply experienced the space with curiosity and sensitivity. You have been a fundamental part of this journey.
See you in 2026, with new projects, new emotions and with the same desire to build beauty through matter.
Molteni Varnici
Elegance takes shape.
