Negroni Station

The Negroni Station takes the Milanese aperitivo as a starting point: a familiar moment of transition, when people come together over a drink. Conceived for Milan Design Week 2025, it invites guests to compose their own cocktail. Serving becomes a shared activity, and the fountain becomes a place around which an encounter can unfold.

The project extends the research initiated with the Water Station, exploring how an object can organise both a practical function and a social ritual. Its scale gives it a strong presence, while the open structure preserves a sense of lightness. Pipework and fluid circulation are deliberately visible, allowing the mechanics of serving to define the object’s appearance. The Negroni Station makes the preparation of a drink part of the gathering itself.
