The collaboration comes to life through four joyful, vibrant and character‑driven Fiat Topolinos, designed as a playful moving platform to explore the city during Design Week. 

To celebrate the launch of the Wallpaper Milan Travel Guides*, Wallpaper* has taken over one of Milan’s traditional kiosks, transforming it into a bespoke Wallpaper Travel Guides kiosk* in the heart of the city. Designed as an editorial installation and an urban meeting point, the kiosk embodies Wallpaper*’s design‑led vision of the contemporary city. 

As part of the initiative four Fiat Topolinos will be visible across Milan throughout the entire Design Week. The vehicles will guide visitors to discover the locations featured in the Wallpaper Travel Guides*, offering a light, accessible and sustainable way to experience the city through design, culture and urban movement. 

The Wallpaper Design Week Map also highlights CIAO FUTURO!, FIAT’s dedicated space at Magna Pars, Via Tortona 15, mentioning it as one of the key destinations to visit during Milan Design Week 2026 and reinforcing the dialogue between mobility, design culture and urban life.
