THE DESIGN ELITE DINE WITH NINA MAGON AND MARIE CLAIRE MAISON AT DON CARLOS.

By: Marie Claire Maison

For one night, the Don Carlos restaurant became the home of Nina Magon, a visionary designer who, together with Marie Claire Maison, invited the elite of international design to dinner

There’s a Design Week that shies away from the spotlight and the hustle and bustle to embrace a more intimate and intimate dimension. That of private rendezvous and exclusive dinners held behind closed doors, accessible only to the most illustrious names in international design and creativity. But one event has captured the most attention during these vibrant days in Milan: the dinner organized yesterday by MCM with director Silvia Robertazzi for Nina Magon , one of the event’s undisputed stars, a visionary designer who is redefining the codes of contemporary luxury on a global scale.

The event took place just steps from La Scala, at the Don Carlos restaurant of the historic Grand Hotel ET de Milan , one of the finest expressions of Milanese gastronomic tradition. Among the theatrical sketches adorning the walls and the opera arias—the inevitable soundtrack to a venue that pays homage to Verdi and opera—the most important figures in the business met, as we mentioned, including, of course, Silvia Robertazzi.

And the reverberations of these encounters—it’s a safe bet—will resonate across the market, shaping paths and synergies whose fruits we’ll see in the coming months. Because it’s on occasions like these that collaborations and relationships destined to leave their mark are born. At the center of it all is Nina Magon, the evening’s star and mistress of ceremonies, capable of bringing together diverse visions and experiences with the sharp and sensitive gaze of someone who doesn’t follow trends, she creates them.

At the helm of her eponymous studio, Nina Magon has established herself in the market with a distinctive and unique aesthetic that blends architectural precision, rich materials, and cultural depth. Her work spans private residences, commercial, and hospitality projects, always approached with a tailored touch and an ambitious approach, even in terms of numbers: over $500 million in active construction, with significant developments directly overseen, from design to execution. Among these projects is KA Residences, a new luxury residential concept founded by Magon and developer Moiz Bhamani, with nearly $1 billion in pipeline across five global markets: Houston, Dallas, Scottsdale, Dubai, and Mexico City. Named after the Egyptian “Ka,” the vital essence of the human being, the project reinterprets high-end living by placing wellness and longevity at the center, through daily wellness rituals integrated into the finest standards of residential design. An unprecedented model in the contemporary living landscape, accessible by invitation, which brings the exclusive pleasure of self-care into the home.
