Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026: Spanish Material-Led Design for Residential, Hospitality and Workspace Interiors (Part II)

In Milan, the narrative around contemporary furniture continues to move towards material clarity and sensory balance. Across residential and contract settings, designers are prioritising pieces that communicate through surface, weight, and tactility rather than overt formal expression. Texture becomes structure; colour becomes atmosphere. This shift reflects a broader demand for interiors that feel grounded, adaptable, and quietly distinctive.

Spanish brands respond with a particularly refined approach. Their proposals combine industrial precision with a strong material identity—moulded plastics with warmth, solid wood with visible joinery, and wood surfaces that echo natural landscapes through texture and tone. Alongside high-performance textiles and controlled finishes, this selection of products demonstrates how materials, volumes, and colour can define space with clarity and intent.

OSWELL Chair Collection. By Nacar Design. INCLASS

Can a single shell define an entire seating system? OSWELL answers this with clarity and precision. Built around a mono-shell structure, this INCLASS’ collection explores how a single gesture—soft, continuous, and enveloping—can generate multiple typologies without losing identity.

The plastic shell, characterised by its subtly textured surface, introduces warmth into what is typically perceived as a purely technical material. Its organic curvature supports the body while maintaining a clean silhouette, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into meeting rooms, educational settings, or hospitality environments. Upholstered versions with soft fibre enhance comfort and add a more relaxed, tactile dimension.

Functionality is embedded at every level. Sled-base chairs stack efficiently—up to 40 units on a trolley—making them suitable for high-turnover, multi-use spaces. Optional writing tablets extend their use into training or conference contexts, while swivel bases and wooden legs introduce further adaptability. OSWELL operates as a system rather than a standalone product, offering specifiers a flexible tool with a consistent visual language.

PÈTRIA Table Collection. By Pep Gramage. VICAL

PÈTRIA captures the telluric force of volcanic landscapes and translates it into controlled, architectural forms. Inspired by basalt formations, the collection created by Pep Gramage for VICAL, expresses weight, balance, and permanence through a refined geometric language.

The dining table stands as its most defining piece. Its single-column base recalls a basalt pillar—compact, vertical, and grounded—supporting a wide top that appears both stable and visually open. The reference to volcanic force is clear yet disciplined, resulting in a piece that anchors the space while maintaining compositional lightness. It is particularly suited to dining areas where structure and presence shape the overall atmosphere.

The coffee table introduces contrast. A dark tempered glass top rests on a sculptural base, allowing the geometry beneath to remain visible and reducing visual density. This interplay between solid wood and transparency creates depth while preserving clarity. Auxiliary modules extend the collection into versatile elements—hexagonal volumes that function as tables, display units, or spatial dividers.

Crafted in sandblasted black mango wood and paired with dark glass, PÈTRIA relies on texture and proportion rather than decoration. It brings a sense of permanence and material depth to interiors, aligning with hospitality and residential projects that seek a strong yet restrained identity.

RABBIT & RABBIT B Lounge Chairs. By Carlos Soriano. TM Leader Contract

Some pieces are designed to blend in. RABBIT, a new design by Carlos Soriano for TM Leader Contract, is not one of them. Its compact, sculptural form is conceived as a visual statement—an object that defines the space rather than simply occupying it.

The chair’s enveloping geometry creates a sense of immediacy and comfort, while its proportions ensure it remains practical for contract use. The presence or absence of armrests yields two distinct typologies: one more restrained, RABBIT, the other more expressive. In RABBIT B, the armrests extend naturally from the backrest, reinforcing the continuity of the form and enhancing ergonomic support.

Despite its strong identity, RABBIT remains versatile. It works as an accent piece in hospitality lounges, as informal seating in collaborative workspaces, or as a focal point in residential interiors. Its value lies in this balance—an object with a clear character that still integrates into diverse design schemes.

ENSEMBLE Bench. By Mentsen. VERGÉS

At a time when flexibility defines public and shared spaces, the bench is re-emerging as a key typology. ENSEMBLE, the new proposal from VERGÉS, reinterprets it through simplicity, structure, and modular logic.

Constructed in solid wood, the bench draws from vernacular references—church seating, communal environments—where durability and clarity of form are essential. Its defining feature is the joinery: a precise interlocking system that highlights the connection among the legs, seat, and central beam. This approach places craftsmanship at the forefront, using construction as the primary aesthetic language.

Designed for cafés, waiting areas, and collaborative environments—as well as for individual use—the system extends through modularity. Available with or without a backrest, in multiple lengths, and with connectors for linear or angled configurations, ENSEMBLE adapts to diverse layouts. Optional upholstered elements add softness and acoustic comfort, while a pivoting side table enhances functionality.

NUBBI Modular Seating System. By Adán D. Modesto & Nacho Timón. OGO

What if seating could behave like a landscape? NUBBI explores this idea through volume, curvature, and modular freedom. Its composition is fluid, allowing configurations that shift from linear to circular without losing coherence.

The structure combines curved birch wood with soft, fire-resistant textiles, creating a contrast between firmness and elasticity. The exposed wooden frame introduces rhythm and lightness, while the upholstered volumes provide comfort and acoustic absorption—key requirements in hospitality and workspace environments.

OGO‘s new modular seating system—comprising base units, angled elements, armrests, and integrated tables—enables multiple layouts tailored to specific spatial needs. Whether in a hotel lobby, reception area, or informal meeting zone, NUBBI adapts without imposing a fixed configuration. The use of recycled and fire-retardant polyester fabrics also aligns with current technical and regulatory demands in contract projects.

Visually, NUBBI stands out for its soft, cloud-like forms and controlled colour palette. It creates environments that feel open and relaxed, supporting both social interaction and individual retreat. It is a system designed to evolve with the space it inhabits.

This selection highlights a shared direction in Spanish design: material-driven solutions that combine adaptability with a strong spatial identity. Across seating systems, sculptural tables, modular benches, and flexible lounge configurations, the focus remains on durability, tactile quality, and ease of integration across residential, hospitality, and workspace contexts.

For professionals visiting Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026, these proposals offer reliable, well-resolved tools to shape interiors with clarity—where material, function, and atmosphere are aligned from concept to specification.
