Chapters Holiday Residency: Studio & Gift Shop

A temporary Chapter in the heart of Milan

From 5 December to 5 January, Chapters opens its Holiday Residency: Studio & Gift Shop inside Fondazione Pini, at Corso Garibaldi 2 — a temporary space designed to introduce our universe ahead of the official store opening in Milan. An intimate studio, a curated gift shop, and a place to experience Chapters in its most essential, here-for-now form, set within the historic rooms of the foundation. Monday to Sunday, 10:30am to 7:30pm.

Why this Residency, why now?

The Residency was born out of a transitional moment for Chapters — a bridge between the anticipation surrounding our Milan opening and the need to create a physical touchpoint during the holiday season.

Within the space, two complementary souls coexist. The Studio reflects the inner workings of Chapters: mood, materials, visual research, and the narrative threads behind the brand. It is a place to understand the project beyond the product. The Gift Shop showcases a curated selection of pieces, objects, and small editions chosen for the festive period, allowing visitors to bring home part of this temporary chapter.

Together, they form an environment that feels intentional, essential, and limited in time — open just long enough to meet our community and introduce what is coming next.

Weekend Treats: PAN Milano & Eris Milano

Weekends at the Residency come with a small tradition. Every Saturday and Sunday, we offer 100 pastries by PAN Milano and filtered coffee by ERIS Milano — complimentary, until they’re gone. A gesture for our community and an invitation to slow down, look closer, and spend time inside the space.

Workshops, gatherings, and moments shared

Throughout December, Chapters has hosted a series of events designed to activate the Residency beyond retail. From the Christmas decorations workshop in collaboration with Atelier Prato, to the 16 December gathering inside the Residency at Fondazione Pini, each moment brought people together and shaped the atmosphere of this first Milan chapter.

For the Christmas Event, food and drinks were curated by Forniture Pallotta: Caviar served on delicate wafers, Whipped Butter with lime and charcoal, sharp Margaritas, Champagne, and panettone by Baunilla Pasticceria Creativa turned the table into a central part of the experience.

Toward the official opening of Chapters Milano

The Holiday Residency marks a transitional moment — a preview of what Chapters will bring to Milan in 2025. As the Residency closes on 5 January, we move toward the official opening of our permanent store: a new home for our collections, collaborations, and future Chapters.
