Caffè Populaire

For Milan Design Week 2022, Lambert &Fils and DWA present the second edition of Caffè Populaire, in collaboration with SUPERFLOWER. For the occasion, the group has created an eight-day aperitivo garden at Alcova.

Reimagining the relationship between nature and design, DWA transforms a vacant temple into an immersive environment where raw matter and refined materiality come together to create an installation bigger than the sum of their parts. Following years of isolation, Caffè Populaire is a celebration of the essentiality of food, wine, and the spark of human connection. Guests are invited to gather amongst the wildflowers spilling into the gardens, while an undulating water sculpture connects the new lighting collections of Lambert &Fils and floral wallpaper of SUPERFLOWER.

Launching at Caffè Populaire is Silo: Lambert et Fils’ new modular lighting collection. Inhabiting many worlds at once, Silo creates a striking metaphor for duality. Mysterious yet inviting, the true magic lies in how its rhythmic curves shape light and space around it. Much like its first edition, Caffè Populaire is a reprise which offers the potential for exchange, connection, and renewal.
