Spring has painted Milan with lilac wisteria, blooming magnolias, and flower markets scattered throughout the city. Among these, one stands out for its unique setting: an iconic place where design, cuisine, and nature come together.
Saturday, April 11, and Sunday, April 12, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with free admission, the garden of the Triennale di Milano will host the Flower Market, a market featuring locally grown seasonal flowers in collaboration with POLLEN. Here, visitors can purchase individual flowers or bouquets composed of seasonal, unusual, and sought-after varieties, grown naturally just a few kilometers from Milan.
Design and Exquisite Flowers: POLLEN
POLLEN is a flower farm and botanical design studio that works with locally grown seasonal flowers from the Milan area and natural materials gathered locally, such as wild flora, rocks, and branches. From these elements, unique compositions and installations are created, designed to interact with spaces and enhance both the environment and the brand.
Guided by a philosophy that combines mindful consumption with refined aesthetics, POLLEN draws inspiration from the elegant chaos of its own garden. The flowers come from a family farmstead not far from Milan, where cultivation follows the rhythm of the seasons. Bulbs, annuals, and perennials are carefully selected— varieties often unavailable through traditional retail channels.
The Triennale di Milano: A Journey Through Taste and Smell
The Flower Market, in collaboration with Pollen, offers a taste of Design Week at the Triennale—a blend of seasonal flowers, installations, and a springtime atmosphere. This iconic Milanese venue is poised to become one of the key highlights of Fuorisalone 2026, featuring outdoor events and much more.
The Triennale engages all the senses: fragrant flowers that stimulate the sense of smell are complemented by creative installations that catch the eye, while Cucina Triennale completes the experience with its restaurant nestled in the greenery of Parco Sempione, inspired by the aesthetics of the 1930s.
