11 May BEYOND THE LINES – CCUBE
During the Milan Design Week 2026, Cleaf presented Beyond The Lines, an invitation to discover what happens when design, like sport, finds its true strength in going beyond, redefining boundaries, perspectives, and possibilities. Sport and design are two worlds united by the pursuit of performance, attention to detail, and the desire to surpass their own limits. Cleaf surfaces interpret this tension, transforming material into visual energy, rhythm, and movement.
Designed by Lissoni & Partners, the exhibition of the CCube corporate showroom reimagined the spaces, showcasing the expressive power of Cleaf’s surfaces through two levels of interpretation. The first level consists of six floor-to-ceiling towers, each dedicated to a sport and characterized by geometric cuts that reveal shifting yet solid light and allow an inside view. The second level consists of four installations, one for each main area of the showroom: an indoor cycling track made with wood-effect products; a bouldering wall, constructed using stone-effect products; a grandstand with tiered seating, featuring seats with fabric-effect products; a changing room featuring lockers and benches built with metal-effect products.
The new Annara texture, inspired by teak, was introduced especially for the occasion, enhancing the wood’s dense and well-defined structure. Its name comes from a dialect word referring to the growth ring of a tree trunk — a symbol of continuity and evolution, where the passage of time becomes a refined material identity.
