With a view to organising a sixtieth edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano that fully reflects the importance of the event, the Board of Federlegno Arredo Eventi, in agreement with Fiera Milano, has elected to postpone the event, which will now take place from 7th to 12th June 2022.
Maria Porro, President of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, had this to say: “The decision to postpone the event will enable exhibitors, visitors, journalists and the entire international furnishing and design community to make the very most of an event that promises to be packed with new things, in total safety. As well as celebrating a major anniversary, the event will focus on the theme of sustainability, acting as a showcase for the progress made in this regard by creatives, designers and companies.
Moving the event to June will ensure a strong presence of foreign exhibitors and professionals, which has always been one of Salone’s strong points, and it will also give the participating companies time to plan their presence at the fair as thoroughly as possible given that, as we know, the progression from concept to final installation takes months of preparation. The desire for a Salone is increasingly strong, which is why we are working towards an event that will give everyone an opportunity to enjoy a unique, concrete and exciting experience. We are all really longing for a Salone.”
The previous edition of the fair was held in September 2021. It briskly adapted itself to cater to the challenges posed by the pandemic and was even given a new name, Supersalone. The fair was successful in hosting the wares of 423 brands and 50 independent producers across four pavilions. The event also opened up opportunities for younger and upcoming designers by organising an exhibition that displayed 170 projects by students from 48 international design schools. The talk shows and discussion panels at the fair further made the event lively and interactive, serving as a space for learning, introspection and healthy discussions.
