together highlights from Milan Design Week, Both Salone Internazionale Del Mobile (International Furniture Fa ir)
and Fuorisalone -exhibitions and events spreading all over the city; including some of the more innovative and
creative furniture designs.
2016 MOBİLYA FUARI’NDA TAŞ MALZEME
The Salone del Mobile Milan is now in its 55th edition, with a wide range of products, services and events. An absolutely unmissable
appointment for the sector with more than 300,000 professional attendees from all five continents are expected, along with more than
30,000 members of the public in April. Three collateral events took place alongside the trade show proper, dedicated respectively to living concepts, classical furniture and architectural finishings, along with a short film signed by Matteo Garrone. The 55th edition of the Salone del Mobile Milan is the international benchmark showcase for furnishing and design. More than 300,000 professional attendees from over 160 countries are seizing the opportunity to come to Rho and cast their eyes over the latest products being showcased by more than 2,400 exhibitors this year. A range of goods that combines quality and technology, shaped by the creativity of the leading sectoral companies, practised at developing their businesses by investing each year in innovative products and home furnishing solutions: 67% of the companies taking part have said that they have ploughed major investments into innovative machinery, equipment, R&D and design. Due recognition of the relevance of the Salone -which has evolved over time from simple trade fair into “must-see” event as per the publicity and of the importance of the sector presided over the 7th SaloneSatellite Design Award ceremony on Wednesday 13th April. Visitors also flocked to the 19th edition of SaloneSatellite, devoted to the theme “New Materials>New Design”, showcasing the work of 650 young designers under 35. The events in the fairgrounds and in the city were also very well received: ”Before Design: Classic” put a contemporary spin on classic furnishing, with artistic direction by Ciarmoli Queda Studio and a video by filmmaker Matteo Garrone. The “space&interiors” event was devoted to architectural finishings by Migliore+Servetto Architects at the The Mall, Porta Nuova.
