About

The Drinks Lab – Milano Edition is the second chapter of Odd Universe's travelling spatial concept, taking over ERIS in Milan for one week during Milan Design Week 2026. Amid sculptural aluminium stools from the PEEPERS collection, the space reconfigures itself as the week unfolds – inside, outside, and everything in between – shaped entirely by its city, its architecture, and the collaborators who pass through it.

Here, Odd Universe teams up with ICON Magazine, Fusetti Bitter, and Lera to turn design into a stage for storytelling: aperitivo takeovers rotate across the week, matcha workshops unfold alongside DJ sets, and Odd Voices – a new live conversation format hosted by ICON's Editor in Chief – gathers the people who shape Milan's design culture, from bar owners to curators to producers. Furniture adapts, conversation flows, and the space itself invites you to explore, rearrange, and discover new ways to gather. Come for the design, or the drinks ;) – stay for the conversation.
