Founded in 2018, Alcova is an itinerant platform for independent design. With its fifth edition coming up, Alcova continues its exploration of the city of Milan with an exciting new location - the former Porta Vittoria abattoir on Via Molise.

Today in a state of disuse but poised for a radical and permanent transformation, the area will be activated by Alcova in an interstitial phase. The platform conceived by Valentina Ciuffi (founder of Studio Vedèt) and Joseph Grima (founder of Space Caviar) once again brings design and research into dialogue with surprising and historically significant urban settings, entering into a temporary relationship of cohabitation with nature that has grown wild and spontaneously taken over these imposing sites.

After having activated a former bakery factory, a cashmere factory, the buildings of a military hospital complex, Alcova renews its commitment to bring historical and significant spaces for the city to life, transforming them into a stage of unrivalled beauty for a selection of designers shaping the future. Whether designers, galleries, museums, schools or companies, Alcova seeks to shine a spotlight on the most forward-looking design being produced today.

The entrance to Alcova is free. We want everyone to experience the exhibition in the best way possible, so in certain moments of high visitor influx there may be a waiting time. Reservations are not possible.
