Jannelli&Volpi is a partner of the Milione Reloaded Festival, the international academies festival taking place from June 3 to 5, 2026, at Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan.
The project, developed by ACME Milan together with Hochschule Luzern (HSLU) and CPM Music Institute, is conceived as a large exhibition laboratory dedicated to the theme of travel and the construction of the contemporary gaze, inspired by the figure of Marco Polo and his idea of the “baggage of the world.”
Within the festival, Jannelli&Volpi wallpapers play a central role in shaping the exhibition design. Decorative surfaces are not merely wall coverings but become an integral part of the spatial narrative, helping to transform the environment into an immersive and layered landscape.
The wallpapers are also used in workshops and educational activities, providing students with concrete design tools to explore the relationship between surface, material, and project.
The festival creates a temporary architecture in which artworks, installations, and diverse languages overlap, giving form to a contemporary “warehouse” of ideas and experimentation. In this context, Jannelli&Volpi’s contribution strengthens the dialogue between surface design, education, and creative research.
Participation in the Milione Reloaded Festival confirms Jannelli&Volpi’s commitment to supporting cultural and academic projects that promote experimentation and interdisciplinary exchange, taking the language of wallpaper beyond its traditional function and transforming it into a design and storytelling tool.
The customization of the gold metallic-based mural featured on the festival walls has been created by CO.DE – Contemporary Design Wallcoverings, Jannelli&Volpi’s brand dedicated to the contract, residential, and design sectors. CO.DE offers collections and bespoke wallcovering solutions on natural and high-performance technical substrates, as well as capsule collections developed with international designers and ready-to-roll products. Thanks to its flexible and highly customizable approach, the brand stands out in the design of on-demand wallcoverings, combining aesthetic research, innovation, and tailored production capabilities.
