The French architect Pierre-Yves Rochon, who has designed some of the most exclusive addresses in international hospitality, not least the Waldorf Astoria in New York, is one of the special guests in the Cultural Programme at the Salone del Mobile.Milano 2025.
Villa Héritage is part of the new exhibition itinerary A Luxury Way in Pavilions 13 and 15 and reflects on design as a universal language capable of connecting tradition and innovation, promoting dialogue between past and future.
More than just a space, more than an installation, Villa Héritage is a refuge in the heart of the Salone, designed to invite reflection on the meaning of living and artistic creation. Why do some shapes and proportions continue to resonate over time? What makes an object a timeless icon? How do you design environments that can move and impress themselves on the collective memory? What is the relationship between art, design and materials?
Pierre-Yves Rochon.
The answer takes shape in a multi-sensory setting, where light, colours, volumes and materials transform design into a perceptual code, a living trace that crosses time and shapes our experiences. Villa Héritage is not just something to be observed: it is something to experience, breathe and listen to.
'Heritage is not a constraint; it is a source of freedom. Understanding and mastering the legacy of our craft provides us with the tools to reinvent and push the boundaries of design' -Pierre-Yves Rochon.
