Illulian

Founded in 1959, the company, which is currently headed by Davis and Bendis Ronchetti Illulian, has become an exclusive benchmark in the antique and modern rugs sector, presenting collections which, in addition to being unique furnishing accessories, are also true works of art that preserve all their charm over time.

The prestigious Illulian showroom, located in 41 Via Manzoni in Milan’s fashion district, is home to both innovative rugs influenced by the most modern design trends and to antique rugs and tapestries. The showroom also hosts sophisticated contemporary furniture, prestigious fabric lines and objects with a unique, meticulous design.

Illulian, a leading brand in the world of luxury rugs, will present Taraxacum, the result of a collaboration with the Fondazione Achille Castiglioni. Taraxacum, named after the renowned lamp, emerges from the intersection of design, history, and innovation. Its unique pattern reproduces the graphic concept of the iconic lamp designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1988. With its floral shape and mesmerising interplay of light, the lamp has inspired a textile creation that captures the very essence of the original work.


An annual platform for the local creative community, the UAE Designer Exhibition showcases emerging creative talent and budding designers in a curated feature situated within the Downtown Design fair, with the aim of enhancing visibility for early-career UAE designers, expanding their networks and providing commercial opportunity.

Supported by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, the UAE Designer Exhibition presents a showcase of independent designers and studios who design with purpose, innovate beyond tradition, and draw from cultural narratives through contemporary aesthetics and modern fabrication techniques.

Contributing to the development of a diverse local creative scene, the UAE Designer Exhibition will return to Downtown Design 2026, taking place 4–8 November in Dubai Design District. The exhibition offers visibility to a wide audience of B2B and B2C visitors, alongside opportunities for mentorship with internationally renowned figures from the creative industry, as well as potential participation in showcases taking place globally.
