About Salone Internazionale del Mobile

DESCRIPTION:

The Salone Internazionale del Mobile (Milan Furniture Fair or Milan Design Week) is an annual international design and furniture exhibition in Milan, Italy. Established in 1961, it has become one of the most prestigious and significant events in the design industry, showcasing the latest innovations and trends in furniture, lighting, and interior design.

The Salone Internazionale del Mobile at the Fiera Milano usually takes place in April, although dates may vary slightly depending on the year. The event attracts hundreds of thousands of global visitors, including designers, architects, manufacturers, retailers, and design enthusiasts.

The fair serves as a platform for established and emerging designers to showcase their work, launch new products, and make connections within the industry. Exhibitors include international furniture brands, design studios, and independent designers, presenting diverse styles and designs. Key categories include:

Classic: Traditional and timeless designs inspired by classic styles.

The Salone Internazionale del Mobile includes satellite events, installations, and conferences throughout Milan, collectively called the "Fuorisalone." The Fuorisalone is an informal and dynamic environment for designers, artists, and creatives to experiment and engage.

The Salone Internazionale del Mobile and its accompanying events significantly impact the global design industry, often setting the tone for emerging trends and influencing future product development.

PLEASE NOTE:
Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
