The outdoors is a constantly evolving narrative, marked by the seasons and shaped by the presence of those who experience it. For Milan Design Week 2026, Fast interprets this vision with Outdoor Stories, a project that combines new collections and installations in locations at the heart of the design capital, showcasing the company’s ability to interpret outdoor space as personal, mutable and capable of embracing different functions and languages.
Each location and each choice offers a distinct perspective, all rooted in the same design philosophy based on modularity, materials, and the relationship with the surrounding landscape.

MILANO DESIGN WEEK 2026 20.04 - 26.04
Living outdoors with Fast means immersing oneself in a variety of interpretations of space, presented through different narrative chapters:
Chapter 1: Fast Milano. In Fast's house in the heart of Milan at Via Cesare Battisti 1, the new collections by designers Francesco Meda, David Lopez Quincoses, and Alberto Lievore are framed by a site-specific floral installation that introduces a naturalistic dimension as an integral part of the spatial experience. The installation on the ground floor guides visitors along the journey, transforming the natural element into a true setting for the outdoor collections and, from the moment of entry, suggesting the dialogue among nature, architecture, and design that runs through the entire exhibition.
Chapter 2: Fast Durini. Conceived as a welcoming and meeting place, the installation on Via Durini, in the heart of the design district, houses a composition of the Unduetre modular sofa, one of the latest additions to the catalogue, flanked by a selection of furniture from the Fast collections. More than just an exhibition space, Fast Durini serves as a hub for interaction, fostering a direct dialogue between Fast and the city while helping to enliven the urban landscape.
Chapter 3: Just a few steps from the urban landscape, the story continues in the outdoor spaces of the Salvioni Milano Durini showroom, where outdoor living combines urban social interaction with the more intimate and cozy atmosphere of a home balcony. In these spaces, architecture, function, and identity intertwine, creating contexts in which the Fast collections interact with the surrounding environment and complement every setting with formal balance, high-quality craftsmanship, and attention to detail.
The artistic direction of Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces reinforces a focus on systems capable of evolving alongside the project. Aluminium, the company’s core material, offers depth, tone, and character to every space through a wide range of finishes, adapting to different contexts. Fast’s centralized production and the ability to combine structures, materials, and fabrics across the board also allow for the development of tailored configurations, ensuring technical continuity and compositional balance.
Living outdoors means embracing the pace of the seasons and the changing light. Whether in the shade of a palm tree or in the full sun of a terrace, enjoy every moment outdoors in perfect harmony with nature.
