L'Espresso, now on newsstands Design of Light. And at the Fuorisalone, a dedicated event

It is light, which shapes spaces and ideas, the protagonist of the new Speciale de L’Espresso, edited by Emilio Carelli: Design di Luce. A collector’s issue, now on newsstands, embellished with a cover signed by illustrator Emiliano Ponzi and editorial consulting by Paolo Casicci, celebrating light as a key element of creativity and innovation.
Made in Italy is the world’s leading publisher of beauty, Casicci says, with light a metaphor for the future of design. It is a concept that also finds expression in Ponzi’s cover: There is a figure pointing his hand upward illuminated by a cone of light, with the presence of some design objects floating in the air, in a staging of amazement that makes them become something other than themselves, somewhat magical objects. Which is exactly what happens during the week of the Salone del Mobile, says the illustrator.
The Special was presented at the House of Action in Milan, in an event organized by L’Espresso and included in the Fuorisalone calendar. It was an occasion for discussion and inspiration in which talks moderated by the weekly magazine’s journalists took turns, featuring Clara Amodeo, creative director of Outdoora, illustrator Lavinia Fagiuoli and photographers Luca Santese and Marco P. Valli of the Cesura collective. The evening also featured an artistic performance by SteReal, of Outdoora, who painted a canvas inspired by the theme of light, the beating heart of this edition.
Inside the Special, contributions from big names on the international art scene stood out, including Oscar winner Paolo Sorrentino, who for Salone del Mobile 2025 signs the project “La dolce attesa.” An installation that reflects on the concept of suspension, transforming the waiting room into an immersive experience: We talk about waiting for a report: that kind of waiting, in life, becomes a suspension of life. When we wait for our fate, all we can do is wait. Our waiting room is meant to be something else. It does not force you to stand still but lets you go. A little trip, like as a child, on reassuring rides, Sorrentino explains.
And again, an interview with American director and set designer Robert Wilson, who for this edition pays homage to Michelangelo’s Pietà Rondanini, exploring its forms and suggestions through light: The interesting thing is to see a project in the context of light, whether it’s in a room or on stage. Looking at the lines of the body and the details of the sculpture, it was the Pieta that guided me. It took me some time to really start seeing it. And I wanted to give the audience time to discover it as well. A dialogue is established between visitors and the sculpture, in the way it responds.
In the pages of the Special, there is also an exclusive interview with photographer Santi Caleca, who talks about his way of interpreting design through the lens: I don’t photograph the object. I try to photograph the thought behind it, thus revealing his method of capturing the essence of each creation.

Joshua Zirkzee, season over: first year at United to forget
Joshua Zirkzee’s first season in a Manchester United shirt is ending in the worst way. The Dutch striker, who arrived from Bologna last summer for more than 40 million euros, suffered a serious hamstring injury in his left knee during the last Premier League match against Newcastle. Confirming the news was coach Ruben Amorim himself in his pre-Europa League press conference, “Zirkzee will not be available for the rest of the season. He has to think about recovery and preparing for next year.”
A real mockery for the talented youngster, who was experiencing a positive moment in terms of personal growth, despite an overall complicated season for the Red Devils. Zirkzee thus ends his first year at Old Trafford with 7 goals and 3 assists in 48 total appearances, a haul perhaps lower than expected, but still indicative of a player who was finding space and confidence.
Manchester United’s season, punctuated by injuries and fluctuating performances, might only find a small light in the eventual Europa League victory. But the loss of Zirkzee at this crucial moment represents yet another tile on an already very complicated year for Amorim.
Ahead of the summer, the former Bologna man’s future remains to be written. The English club is already planning to intervene in the market again to reinforce the offensive department. And while it seems difficult to think of an immediate transfer of Zirkzee after only one year, it is not excluded that one between him and Højlund could leave Old Trafford. The return to the field, in any case, will not come until next season.
