During Milano Design Week, Soho House and Level Shoes hosted a special gathering for the international creative community, celebrating the philosophy behind Cities Without Houses
Words Domenico Costantini
During Milan Design Week, as the city once again became a global crossroads for design, fashion, and art, Soho House, in collaboration with luxury retailer Level Shoes, hosted two exclusive evenings dedicated to the international creative community — culminating in a private dinner on Tuesday, April 8.
The event brought together members of Cities Without Houses Milan, an extension of the Soho House network designed for those living in cities where a physical House has yet to open. Active in over 80 cities worldwide — spanning Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, and Latin America — Cities Without Houses fosters meaningful connections between creatives, artists, designers, and global thinkers, keeping the Soho House spirit alive wherever it’s needed.
The concept is simple yet powerful: home is not a fixed place, but a shared mindset — a sense of belonging.
During these Milan evenings, this philosophy became tangible through encounters between individuals from different disciplines, all united by a creative instinct and a global outlook.
Tanqueray No. Ten, known for its vibrant citrus heart and small-batch craft, brought a refined touch to the night with bespoke cocktails, while Level Shoes — with its curated selection of luxury footwear and accessories from the heart of Dubai — added its distinct identity, turning every detail into a design gesture.
Without a physical location, Soho House once again proved that its strength lies in its people, in shared experiences, and in a cultural vision that crosses borders and cities alike.
In Milan, even without a House, everything found its place.
