Ethereal, reassuring, vaporous, airy: these are just some of the adjectives used to describe the Pantone Color of the Year 2026, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer. A versatile shade of white, capable of making surfaces and design objects recognizable and creating atmospheres of serenity and spaciousness. A non-egocentric protagonist, it highlights all other colors, dresses walls, allows light to pass through and enhances it, and dyes carpets and vases.
Pipistrello White MATT (on cover) was created to celebrate 60 years of an icon designed by Gae Aulenti. Martinelli Luce introduces a new finish that combines touch and sight: the lamp evokes lightness and purity, recalling ethereal atmospheres. To the touch, the cone’s surface reveals a chalky, slightly rough texture, while the satin diffuser adds a material note that amplifies the sensory experience.
Cristallo Traslux by Antolini
Cristallo Traslux, a natural quartz from Antolini®‘s Exclusive Stone Collection, allows light to penetrate and diffuse, creating a wonderful translucent effect. A sense of lightness emerges as the protagonist in this material, which conveys the surprising creative force of Mother Nature. Its delicate transparency pairs perfectly with the purity of Cloud Dancer white, creating visual continuity in environments.
RAK-Cloud by Rak Ceramics, design Giuseppe Maurizio Scutellà
RAK-Cloud by Rak Ceramics is born from the collaboration with designer Giuseppe Maurizio Scutellà. The concept is expressed through fluid lines and harmonious geometric volutes. The freestanding bathtub, with its welcoming and sinuous shape, is designed to offer a deep relaxation experience. Made from RAK-SOLID, a high-quality acrylic compound, it guarantees resistance, durability, and pleasant tactile comfort, as well as superior grip.

Dune by Illulian
Allumette, the chandelier created by Francesca Lanzavecchia for Foscarini, is a sculptural yet dynamic composition where a series of asymmetrical arms of different lengths and geometries are grafted onto the central body in a deliberately unpredictable arrangement. The transparent PMMA luminous elements, placed at the ends, are designed to create a suspended effect in space.
Part of the Essential Collection, Dune by Illulian interprets the shapes sculpted by the wind on sand dunes in a refined textile masterpiece. The organic and fluid motif, achieved through a delicate play of heights, recalls the soft undulations of desert crests. The neutral and muted color palette, which evokes the lightness of Cloud Dancer white, enhances its versatility, making it ideal for contemporary and minimalist environments.
Giove by Disenia, design Riccardo Gava
The Giove freestanding bathtub by Disenia, design by Riccardo Gava, features a pristine, elongated elliptical shape, designed to cradle the body thanks to the ergonomic study of its internal and external volume. At the bottom of the volume, there is a recess, a plinth, which, in addition to being a decorative element, has an ergonomic function: it provides space for the feet and allows for a correct posture during daily routines.
Dealbata by Zanotta, design Alessandro Menidini
Ink by Ceramiche Refin
Zanotta‘s re-edition of the three Dealbata ceramic vases is a tribute to Mendini’s timeless creativity. These are not just simple vases, but true works of art that combine aesthetics and functionality. Made of glazed clay and available in glossy white or orange, they feature applied decorative details that perfectly express the great architect’s aesthetic language.
INK by Ceramiche Refin presents an immersive and almost hypnotic visual texture that varies with light and viewing angle. The porcelain stoneware tiles reveal small ink strokes that characterize their graphic design, becoming a visual and narrative language capable of shaping a strongly distinctive aesthetic. Pictured: the Grace shade.
Brick 143 by Gervasoni, design Paola Navone
Brick 143 is the dining table designed by Paola Navone for Gervasoni, available with a rectangular top in Carrara marble or, alternatively, polished lava stone. The legs are composed of hand-turned cylinders which, like a series of porcelain rings, seem to defy the laws of balance by stacking one on top of the other.
Pulsa Spira by Italamp, design Danilo De Rossi
Pulsa Spira, designed by Danilo De Rossi for Italamp, is a pendant lamp available in shaded white or dove grey glass. The collection translates the swirling of a maple seed in the air into a luminous form. The blown glass elements, arranged in a spiral, diffuse the light from the LED sources and, thanks to the source located in the rose, generate evocative plays of light and shadow.
