STONE ISLAND: NO SEASONS

Milan Design Week

An exploration of archetypes

Originally introduced by Massimo Osti between 1989 and 1994, NO SEASONS is a distilled expression of Stone Island's design ethos: an approach prioritising incremental, focused, and iterative development rather than trends. The project returns for a new chapter at Milan Design Week 2026 with a dedicated, immersive installation of specially-developed garments, which will be launched with a week-long cultural program of public events. Discover more information below.

01 THE INSTALLATION

Located at the internationally renowned Capsule Plaza, the installation is set within a disused swimming pool, illuminated by a suspended LED ceiling. Steel seating structures, upholstered in the six NO SEASONS fabrications, are arranged on a raised level along the former pool’s tiers. Each of the elements are developed through NM3’s dry-assembly approach, combining laser cutting and bending to emphasise precision and modularity.


Positioned laterally to the seating, sound is delivered through the Friendly Pressure: Studio One system, originally unveiled at Milan Design Week 2025 and reissued for 2026.


Designed in collaboration with Bosco Taylor, the system’s Unity Horn technology enables multiple frequencies to converge into a single coherent source, ensuring an emotional sound experience that remains both precise and immersive.

05 DJ SETS

DJs performed a series public sets within the installation, as part of Stone Island's ongoing extension of community through sound.

06 THE PROJECT

As a testament to Osti's timeless and beyond-fashion ethos, the project champions a single outerwear style, realised in six iconic Stone Island fabrications: Tela Resinata, Nylon Prismatico-TC, Raso Gommato, David-TC, Crinkle Reps NY, and Panno.


The project will be shown at Milan Design Week through a specially-commissioned installation developed in collaboration with Milan-based interior studio NM3, with sound delivered through the Friendly Pressure: Studio One system.
