Stone Island hosts James Blake Special Performance at Milan Design Week 2026 at Capsule Plaza, Via Maiocchi 8 Milan
On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2026, Stone Island hosted a special performance by artist James Blake, who performed within the space curated by Stone Island and NM3 to present the Stone Island No Seasons capsule at Capsule Plaza, Via Maiocchi 8.
A strong community moment, fans and friends of the brand gathered around an intimate live music moment, featuring a varied set that moved between techno-inflected elements and emotive passages.
Stone Island is proud to unveil the next chapter of NO SEASONS, taking forward an original project by Massimo Osti, first introduced in 1989 until 1994. This capsule draws from Stone Island’s timelessness by shaping new outerwear archetypes through a process concerned with continuation and evolution, rooted in history but forward-looking in design.
Presented for the first time, the NO SEASONS capsule dictates the codes of the dedicated installation conceived in collaboration with Milan-based interior studio NM3. The project exists as part of the wider context of Capsule Plaza, a hybrid space between a fair and a collective exhibition, internationally renowned for its deep connections to the design world, and creativity at large.
Set within a disused swimming pool, the space is defined by a suspended 4×8 metre LED wall acting as a technological ceiling, projecting dedicated visuals by 700×100®. The site-specific film traces the journey of a Stone Island garment from the Ravarino HQ – the brand’s centre of research and development – to contemporary urban life, unfolding as a single continuous arc. Research, engineering and design converge around the concept of No Season, creating a garment beyond time, adaptable across contexts and conditions. Through advanced generative technologies grounded in real-world fidelity, reality is amplified and refined, expressing the brand’s rigor at a higher resolution.
