Engagement & Interaction

IKEA presents “Food For Thought”, an exhibition that brings together design, food, and togetherness. From April 21 to 26, at Spazio Maiocchi in the Porta Venezia district, the brand invites you to an immersive experience celebrating the rituals of cooking and sharing meals, reflecting IKEA’s idea of Democratic Design.

Co-created with international chefs and interior designers, the project reimagines the traditional Swedish saluhall and reinterpret the IKEA range through immersive room sets and a large working kitchen that explore how food is experienced throughout life at home.

The goal is to show how functional, accessible and sustainable design can support everyday food moments - from meal preparation to sharing time at the table - promoting well-being, togetherness, and connection.

The event also gives a first look at a new collection, a true expression of IKEA identity, unveiled during Milan Design Week 2026.
