Triumph at Palazzo Citterio: Why the Milanese Public Won’t Let the Uzbek Pavilion Go
Uzbekistan’s first national pavilion at Milan Design Week 2026, titled “When the Apricot Blossoms,” has created a major sensation, drawing over 25,000 visitors and earning the prestigious Special Mention – Media Partners award.
