See You at the Salone del Mobile 2023!
–
Returning to its traditional European spring-time dates, the 61st edition of the Salone del Mobile is set to breathe fresh innovation into its “established formulas”.
This year will see an enhancement of overall visitor experience as all brands will now be unified to exhibit on one single level, and the established cultural program typically held in Milan’s city centre will instead be brought within the fairgrounds to create a complementary integration of creativity and innovation.
“…we took an almost “urbanistic” approach to the internal design of the pavilions … [and] redesigned the path, integrating the spaces for companies with interdisciplinary cultural content connected with the relationship between light, architecture, art and science.”
– Claudio Feltrin, President of Federlegno Arredo
Featured above, Italian illustrator and collagist Gio Pastori and design studio Left Loft have crafted this year's event identity – urging visitors to revisit the basics and learn the ABCs of design featuring the protagonists of the Salone del Mobile.
Environmental, economic and social responsibility will again be a focus, with the event receiving an ISO 20121 certification for their "sustainable organisation" of the exhibits using modular structures to ensure repeated use for future fairs or external events.
The Salone is one of the most important events in our calendar and we can’t wait to share all the news from our brands directly with you – be sure to keep an eye on our socials and your inbox for updates from the ground in Milan.
