Gervasoni @ Sensory Landscape

Gervasoni Outdoor takes part in Sensory Landscape, the event curated by Elle Decor Italia on the occasion of Milano Design Week 2026.

From April 20 to 26, the historic Palazzo Bovara hosts the new installation by Piero Lissoni. The project, essential and immersive, is developed with the contribution of Antonio Perazzi for the landscape design and coordinated by Netsuke Studio for the exhibition design.

Sensory Landscape originates as a reflection on the role of the senses in contemporary space—today often compromised by a digital mode of consumption that tends to make experience faster, more passive and detached from reality.

The project is grounded in an essential and measured language, where subtraction becomes a design tool. The exhibition path alternates between natural and artificial, matter and perception, shaping a sequence of sensory experiences that invite visitors to slow down and re-establish a more conscious relationship with space.

Within this balance, the landscape designed by Antonio Perazzi introduces the living material of nature - roots, leaves, earth—into the historic setting of Palazzo Bovara, in direct dialogue with its architecture.

In the inner courtyard of the palazzo, Gervasoni Outdoor collections define a composition where architecture and nature interact, shaping a space conceived to be lived in. It is here that the brand’s vision emerges: outdoor is not an extension of the interior, but an environment with its own design identity—an authentic expression of Gervasoni’s culture of living.

At the centre of the composition stands the Jeko collection, designed by Paola Navone. With its relaxed, exotic appeal, Jeko takes shape from a precise act of recovery: the structure is made of ECOTeak, a material obtained from the reuse of beams and elements sourced from the authorized demolition of traditional wooden houses on the island of Java, Indonesia. The wood is reclaimed, cut to size, repaired with recycled materials, assembled and sanded to reveal its original grain, then hand-polished using hemp cloths and wood shavings. Each piece thus retains the trace of its own history.

Surrounding the seating, a constellation of side tables explores tactility and material perception. The Heiko tables by David Lopez Quincoces, made of high-density polymer with a matte finish, express a solid, almost mineral presence - Heiko 43 and 44 in Ombra finish, and Heiko 42 in Cassel. The Brise tables by Federica Biasi introduce a lighter, more ornamental rhythm inspired by nature: Brise 43, 44 and 46 in blue Milgres, alongside Brise 43 in white Milgres.

On the ground, the Guna rugs by Chiara Andreatti complete the composition with a refined textile logic: the pattern, inspired by artisanal knitwear, intertwines two contrasting polypropylene yarns in a double-faced decorative weave. Shown here in the Blue variant, the rug is displayed on both sides to fully express the versatility of the design.

In a separate area of the set-up, two armchairs - Jeko 26 and Ghost Out 05- define an additional design island, expanding the dialogue between indoor and outdoor, structure and lightness.
