The exhibition, a collaboration with Apartamento and Tim Van Laere Gallery, didn’t look back at their past work, but instead showcased a new series of abstract, life-size candle holders inspired by their well-known designs.

Stone Island’s new Spring/Summer 2026 collection draws inspiration from the world of sailing and navigation, using the compass as a central theme.

This reflects Stone Island’s continued focus on ideas of direction, motion, and adapting to change, which are fundamental to how the brand designs its clothes.
