Event Details

Superdesign Show, the iconic event by Superstudio that has been at the forefront of creating the Tortona Design District phenomenon since 2000, is gearing up to unveil its 2024 edition. This year, it invites exhibitors and visitors to explore new horizons and embrace the challenge of a different way of thinking.
The event is a tapestry of revisited traditions, virtual worlds, humanized technologies, respect for nature, regenerated materials, inclusive choices, ethics, and aesthetics. With the participation of 11 nations, involvement across 3 continents, the collaboration of over 80 companies, and the presentation of nearly 40 cutting-edge projects, the Superdesign Show once again positions itself as an essential unmissable meeting point for designers, companies, and enthusiasts. 
In the meantime, Milan, the Capital of Design, is about to enter the Design Week with a detailed analysis and an updated mapping of the Milanese “design system”, which is becoming increasingly extensive and influential in every sector. This initiative, a project of Salone del Mobile curated by the Politecnico di Milano and shared with all Fuorisalone realities, highlights Superstudio’s pioneering role
THINKING DIFFERENT – THE THEME OF THE YEAR 
The theme of the year, “THINKING DIFFERENT - everything, everywhere, everyone”, is a clear call to showcase the best of international design within the Superstudio Più venue in Milan, expanding its reach into unusual areas, considering various types of users, blending the local DNA of different countries with the global desires of citizens worldwide. The aim is to imagine new domestic, urban, and social scenarios
In the awareness that everything can be reinvented, the challenge is to think outside the box. This bold theme also guides Giulio Cappellini, the event’s art director, in choosing an uncommon color for the walls of the Superdesign Show. An unusual bright green that speaks of nature, peace, serenity, and joy.
