Salone del Mobile is back as the star of the design calendar for its 62nd edition: the leading international event for the design industry will once again be held from 16th to 21st April at Milan’s Rho Fiera fairgrounds during Milan Design Week 2024. Organisers expect the fair to welcome around 2,000 exhibitors, in line with last year, and over 300,000 visitors from around the globe. With updated fairgrounds, a special focus on young designers at the anniversary edition of SaloneSatellite, EuroCucina — the biennial kitchen and bathroom exhibition – and a recently announced installation by legendary filmmaker David Lynch, this year's fair promises to shake things up with more innovation than ever. What remains constant: the Salone's role as a laboratory of experimentation and cross-pollination, a place to meet face-to-face and create new business opportunities. Prototypes are presented and tested: bedrooms, living and dining areas, entrance corridors and outdoor spaces or tables and chairs set the scene for an inquisitional narrative that may start with a single item, but ultimately is about the big questions that shape our way of living and affect the world around us, and the people in it. We can't wait to hunt for answers with you next month. Read more Claire Brodka – Managing Editor |
