Two renowned Italian furniture and lighting brands provide some of their signature products for Winter Olympic Games venues
Flos and B&B Italia, established Italian lighting and furniture brands, will be official Casa Italia 2026 partners. For the XXV Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026, Casa Italia reaffirms its role as a symbol of Italian excellence: a place where culture, vision and Olympic values come together. A project by CONI, the Italian National Olympic Committee, Casa Italia interprets and presents the country’s identity through hospitality and through the shared values of sport, art, architecture and design. Spread across three key venues – Triennale Milano, the Aquagranda Olympic Preparation Centre in Livigno and Farsettiarte in Cortina d’Ampezzo – Casa Italia welcomes Italy Team athletes, partners and an international audience, offering an experience designed to share Italy’s cultural heritage with the world.
For this Olympic edition, CONI has chosen MUSE as its central theme, a tribute to Italy’s long-standing role in the global imagination as a constant source of inspiration, creativity and beauty, able to balance tradition and future. The project is developed under the coordination of Lorenzo Pellicelli, following a unified vision that connects all three locations.
Flos and B&B Italia, the founding brands of the Flos B&B Italia Group, a global leader in premium design, act as official partners across Casa Italia’s three unique spaces. Alongside other design brands, their products are presented in a curated exhibition that blends history, innovation and comfort. Developed by Fabertechnica in collaboration with Flos, the Casa Italia 2026 lighting project spans the three venues in Milan, Cortina and Livigno, enhancing the identity of each location within a unified exhibition theme.
The expansive halls of Triennale di Milano showcase a dialectic between interior and exterior, and natural and artificial illumination. Flos lighting serves as a purely functional, intangible presence in the exhibition halls, but becomes a sculptural and identity-shaping feature within the social spaces. In the monumental hall, lighting and curtains create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The proportions and luminous output of renowned floor lamps, including Arco by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, KTribe Floor by Philippe Starck, Captain Flint by Michael Anastassiades and SuperWire by Formafantasma, help define a space that feels attuned to human scale and perception.
At Farsettiarte in Cortina, the lighting design unites the original setting with a new contemporary extension created by architecture studio It’s. The lighting highlights the structure’s modular design and creates bright visual focal points, carefully arranged to showcase the works of art. Barber Osgerby’s Bellhop Glass pendant lights soften the presence of technical luminaires and bring out the knots in the wooden ceiling.
At the Aquagranda Olympic Training Centre in Livigno, continuity with the site’s history is rooted in sport. Here, lighting adds a layer of refinement to spaces originally designed for functionality, by introducing iconic lamps such as Mario Bellini’s famous Chiara. Lighting underscores the space’s hospitality role and highlights art and design objects.
