Thrilled to see Foscarini featured across five full-spread pages in Residence Magazine, sharing their take on design, innovation, and production.

Two days. One takeover.
Part 3 — Open to the public
From press and creators to a full public pop-up, Vertuo World at Francesco quickly became a destination. The restaurant was transformed into a Nespresso universe, with brand colors, green and purple design details, and curated design furniture setting the tone.
Doors opened, and the queue was already there.
All day, guests lined up to experience the concept firsthand. By 08:00 on day two, a queue had already formed outside the pop-up. The 50 exclusive gift bags, offered to the first visitors, were claimed within minutes.
A concept designed to be experienced, and one people showed up for.

Today, we curated and produced an intimate breakfast at Café Gast, bringing together Rörstrand, Zoégas and Ebba von Sydow to celebrate two Swedish legacies: 300 years of design and 140 years of coffee.
Rooted in the meeting of design, coffee and everyday rituals, the experience centered around a specially composed porridge, created to highlight the character of the coffee. It was served alongside the Mon Amie coffee from the Rörstrand x Zoégas anniversary collaboration, presented on one of Rörstrand’s most iconic patterns.
For the setting, we brought in a sense of spring, layering the space with sunflowers and warm tones to echo the notes of the coffee and create a soft, sunlit atmosphere.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared the morning.

Iittala and Byredo announce LJUS – Rituals of Light and Scent, a limited-edition collection exploring light, scent and everyday ritual.
Handcrafted at Iittala’s historic glass factory in Finland, the collection reflects the shifting qualities of Nordic light, from the midnight sun to the quiet intimacy of winter days.
“At its most honest, Nordic light reveals rather than flatters. When Iittala’s glass meets Byredo’s fire, a new light emerges: elemental, restrained and deeply human.” — Janni Vepsäläinen, Creative Director, Iittala
