The Salone del Mobile is an annual event held in Milan, Italy. Milano returns to Rho Fiera with the numbers and dimensions we’ve come to expect: in June, all 20 pavilions of the exhibition centre will be occupied, totalling 200,000 square metres and 2,000 exhibitors (find them all here), 25% of whom will be from outside the country, in a record edition. It is, after all, number 60.
From the International Furniture Fair, International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition, and Workplace3.0, to the biannual events, EuroCucina with the side event FTK: Technology For The Kitchen, and the International Bathroom Exhibition, all of the events will be available to view again at the fair. S.Project, the crosscutting area devoted to many sectors of design that debuted to great acclaim in 2019, is also returning. Last but not least, SaloneSatellite will be hosted in Pavilions 1/3 this year, with 600 brilliant designers under the age of 35.
Two ADI shows (Pavilions 9/11, 22/24) relating to the biennials, DESIGNin the Kitchen and DESIGNin the Bathroom, coordinated by architect Alessandro Colombo with Paola Garbuglio, and the installation “Design with Nature,” curated by Mario Cucinella in pavillion 15, will accompany the exhibitions.
