Yamagiwa participated in the 2025 Milan Design Week, as part of the Noritake brand exhibition at the historic Villa Borsani. The Japanese manufacturer curated a selection of three distinct lighting collections for the event — the internationally premiered ‘RAI’ alongside the established ‘TALIESIN®’ and ‘JAKOBSSON LAMP’ lines. The exhibition that Yamagiwa was part of sought to highlight a specific dialogue between materiality and form, notably the integration of porcelain elements with lighting.

A significant aspect of Yamagiwa's presence at Milan Design Week was the collaborative environment. The Japanese brand partnered with prominent British designer Faye Toogood for the interior staging of its products. The joint effort aimed to synthesize the architectural character of the villa with the illuminated products, crafting an atmospheric setting where the interplay of light and object could be fully appreciated.
