VCA Cultural Agency is excited about this year’s Milan Design Week.
Highlighting a selection of brands and collaborators we’ve had the privilege to work with over the years, across multiple markets. See you around Milan!
*Selected events require pre-registration, and attendance is subject to availability.
With the busiest week in Milan just around the corner, we gathered a few go-to spots from the Milan VCA team to make your Design Week - in between meetings and events - a little more enjoyable.
A curated selection of where to start your day with a cup of coffee, where to dine, and where to enjoy a good drink.
See you around the city for Design Week (April 20–26) - and who knows, we might even bump into each other at one of these places ;)
This weekend marks the conclusion of The Miu Miu Sunset to Sunrise experience, an initiative that invited the community to gather and connect through a thoughtfully layered programme of cinema screening, conversation, and hospitality.
Taking place from February 24 to March 15 at The Yard, Alserkal Avenue, this special Ramadan activation by Miu Miu – produced by VCA Cultural Agency – created a space for reflection and exchange. Inspired by the rhythm of sunset and sunrise, the programme featured curated film screenings in collaboration with Cinema Akil, followed by intimate conversations honoring women as storytellers and carriers of memory – alongside a specially curated culinary experience by Nala, celebrating the spirit of togetherness during Ramadan.

At NOMAD St Moritz 2026, VCA Cultural Agency presented NOMAD Alpine Bistro by Silo – a zero-waste pop-up, created in collaboration with London’s pioneering restaurant Silo, founded by Douglas McMaster, TIME Most Influential Climate Leader and World Class Chef recognised by The Best Chef Awards.
Set within Villa Beaulieu, the bespoke alpine environment by architect Francesca Neri Antonello, founder of FNA Concept, reflected the menu’s intent through natural textures, chromatic contrasts, and curated collectible design pieces selected in collaboration with Nilufar, ImperfettoLab, and Volumnia.

At NOMAD, Perrier-Jouët presented the Banquet of Nature, a sensorial experience bridging art, gastronomy, and the living world.
Imagined by Formafantasma and brought to life by VCA Cultural Agency in collaboration with Chef Robin Hofer, the evening celebrated an original and high-quality gastronomy rooted in sustainability, locality, and culinary rituals.
Dinner’s menu draws inspiration from the natural world — from pollinators to wild herbs and flowers, reflecting the Maison’s connection to terroir and the beauty of seasonal ingredients.
The naturality and florality of Perrier-Jouët champagnes were paired with the excellence of Prunier Caviar in a curated experience, inviting guests to appreciate the delicate balance that allows both nature and champagne to thrive.
