floating flat.
cassina x airbnb
an industry project set by cassina through istituto marangoni, ahead of the house's centenary in 2027.
for a generation that travels the world before it owns anything. they don't collect objects, they collect places. the flex isn't where you went, it's where you stayed.
so access becomes the way in. you probably can't buy a cassina. but you can stay in one.
the floating flat is a cassina apartment moored on the naviglio for one week of milan design week 2027. furnished by cassina, hosted by airbnb. you don't book it. you win it.
for two weeks beforehand, a key moves through milan. cassina posts the first set of coordinates, the only ones made public. they lead to the first of fourteen cassina pieces placed across the city. an nfc tag sits inside it. tap your phone and the next day's coordinates unlock. fourteen pieces, fourteen taps. follow it all the way and the flat is yours for a night.
