AVE innovation at ARCHITECT@WORK Milan 2026

From the elegance of glass to matt metal finishes: pioneering new offerings for switch points with a unique, customisable style.

Design meets innovation: AVE returns to ARCHITECT@WORK, the exclusive trade show dedicated for architecture and interior design professionals, taking place on 11 and 12 November at Allianz MiCo in Milan.

At the AVE exhibition space (Stand no. 87), specifiers will have the opportunity to experience the company’s latest innovations firsthand—collections designed to transform the switch plate into a seamlessly integrated interior design feature. Highlighted at the show:

• Vera: the pure elegance of glass at the service of creativity. The Vera collection transcends the traditional concept of the front plate, becoming an “open”, dynamic, and customisable surface. Architects enjoy complete creative freedom, with the ability to integrate bespoke textures, graphic patterns, or tactile finishes to mirror the project’s identity. A masterclass in industrial craftsmanship, it turns every installation into a “one-off piece” rather than a mere mass-produced item.
• New Style: an ideal blend of modernity and versatility. Crafted from high-grade aluminium, this line adapts to a wide variety of stylistic and technological contexts, accommodating both traditional and smart home controls. Taking centre stage for the 2026 edition is the exclusive antique aluminium/bronze finish: a special aged treatment that lends texture and character to the surface, ensuring effortless integration into contemporary architecture and classic interiors alike.
• Smart New Style: the essence of minimalism expressed in metal. Instantly recognisable by its ultra-thin profile—one of the thinnest on the market—the series has been refreshed with sophisticated matt grey, white, and bronze finishes. Designed to sit perfectly flush against the wall thanks to a dedicated mounting frame, these front plates house state-of-the-art control technologies, bringing a natural tactile feel to any space.

With a heritage spanning more than 120 years, AVE exemplifies Italian excellence in the electrical sector, expertly blending aesthetic refinement with technological innovation. Ongoing collaborations with leading design figures and a forward-thinking outlook make AVE solutions the preferred choice for those seeking to shape modern living spaces with prestigious details and advanced functionality.
