The fair itself, meanwhile, will also be turning up the heat, with the sell-out Fiera Milano Rho Fairgrounds squeezing over 2,000 exhibitors into its halls and pavilions, including 600 of the hottest emerging creative talents presented at the youthful Salone Satellite. Visitors can prepare for the event, getting info and insights ahead of time, with our own DAAily fair guide, available for download now. | | | Photo: Ludovica Mangini | | Happy birthday Salone del Mobile! | | Celebrating the big 60 this year, Salone del Mobile 2022 is back with a bang.

In line with Salone del Mobile’s main themes of inclusivity and environmental sustainability, the installation will focus on ecological transition – moving quickly towards circular economies, the home as an urban element – exploring the relationship between nature and how we live, and mining cities – where future raw materials are sourced for urban construction.

The collection evokes a sense of permanence with soft and rounded forms in durable white porcelain. Contrast and definition is delivered via a supporting cast of solid taps, showering solutions and iconic accessories. Expressive of function and instinctive in use, the comprehensive collection encompasses enduring ceramic silhouettes and shapely brassware and showers – an integrated system offset by harmonious furniture and a range of wall tiles.
