Fair fatigue is real. This is our cure.
During Salone del Mobile 2026, we invite you to step out of the fair for a short, refreshing break on Lake Como. We’re Extremis, a Belgian design furniture brand, and we’ll welcome you at a unique lakeside location where our collection can be experienced as it’s meant to be. In real life, in use, and in good company.
Here's what awaits you
When you join us for this unique experience
01
A scenic boat ride with Captain Dirk at the helm
Just like his design process - slow & steady - he will safely guide you to the best views along the lake while you sit back & sip your spritz while taking selfies against a very instragrammable backdrop.
02
Warm welcome at the designers' getaway
Casa lilli in Vassena is the Wynants’ lakeside hideout: relaxed, personal, and down-to-earth. Step inside and you’ll instantly feel the charm: design details, lake views, and an atmosphere that makes people settle in without thinking twice!.
03
An intimate presentation on Extremis design
Discover the story behind our iconic products. Here you get the chance to see this furniture in its natural habitat: bridging indoors and outdoors, while bringing people together.
04
A convivial lunch or dinner at Casa lilli
Combining the best flavors of our Belgian roots together with the delectable local Italian ingredients, we’ll provide unique meals that match the heights of the rest of your experience.
What you'll learn
Design thinking, straight from the source
Founder and designer Dirk Wynants shares how Extremis approaches design: from observing real-life use to making choices that last. No slides, but practical insights into designing furniture that works today and still makes sense tomorrow.
Discover the why behind material choices
Learn how materials behave over time, how they age, and how thoughtful design can extend their lifespan. You’ll see how material choices influence durability, comfort, and maintenance, both indoors and outdoors.
Designing with nature
in mind
Discover how biophilic principles subtly inform our work, not as a trend, but as a way to create spaces that give energy back — calm, intuitive places where people can recharge naturally.
Who you'll meet
This experience is designed especially for:
- Architects & designers seeking inspiration beyond the fairgrounds
- Landscape & interior specifiers exploring real-life applications of versatile outdoor furniture
- Dealers & design media looking for a story that goes beyond product launches
Intimate groups of 20 guests from around the world ensure plenty of conversation, connection, and memorable moments.
