60th Salone del Mobile.Milano - the same and different

The much expected 60th Salone del Mobile.Milano will be held, as announced earlier, between Tuesday 7th to Sunday 12th of June this year. There will be continuity with “supersalone”, especially as far as sustainability is concerned, but what are the novelties?

*There will be stands: "Finally this year, after two long years, we are able to build those worlds that can only come alive at the Salone del Mobile.Milano. Our companies are starting with a blank sheet, designing genuine total living ambiances, with incredible freedom of expression, making for new solutions year after year", explains president Maria Porro in an interview by Cristina Kiran Piotti.

*"We will have a “no brand” space, an investment by the Salone del Mobile.Milano in a project on the future of sustainability, furnishing and materials, which has been assigned to a leading architect who has stood out for their meticulous approach to the issue – I can’t reveal their name yet."

*"There will be an event at La Scala and a large exhibition at Palazzo Reale – an interactive installation that is a gift from the Salone del Mobile.Milano to the city, which will run for two weeks."

*New development as regards SaloneSatellite - "We have decided to locate it at the start of the fair, to give it even greater prominence. It will also be free to visit, obviating the need for tickets to the fair, and will feature an extremely interesting project on the theme of inclusive design."

I suppose that these are just a few of the novelties that are expected for the 2022 Salone del Mobile.Milano which will celebrate this year a major anniversary - its 60th edition! - and we all are eager to see them :)

My home is my fortress, my office, my gym ...*

Undoubtedly, 2020 will go down in history as the year in which (almost) we all moved our workplace home. The world we live in, and with it the world of design, is changing at a dizzying rate. And all together we are trying to catch up with the changes, each one in his own way. We learn to live mostly online, while rediscovering some abandoned ways of communicating, such as walking and long phone conversations or communicating in a very small circle. In recent months, we had also to get used to an unexpected development of one of the major global trends - from living in a globalized to living in a local, microworld. With periods of forced closure, our home has become a refuge from the uncertain world outside and a stage for all activities in everyday life. It is no longer a place to cross, but a "base camp". We have learned to appreciate again the importance of the home environment, the yard, the balcony and the garden. And we quickly had to think about what we like in our ho

Supersalone shows what the international furniture fair should look like in the future *

Supersalone , the special event of Salone del Mobile curated by Stefano Boeri took place from 5 to 10 September 2021. It proposed a new interesting format that shows what the international furniture fair should look like in the future - with a sustainable design, prevailing digital information, and a holistic approach. In just a few months, Salone del Mobile.Milano managed to organize and hold its special event, which gives hope for a fresh start. Of course, it was limited to the first four of the 24 pavilions at Fiera Milano, where 1,900 projects of almost 69,000 square meters were displayed. But this was actually the goal

Inspiration From the Coming Up Salone

As President Maria Porro says in an interview for Stylepark, Salone del Mobile is not just an international furniture trade fair, but a catalyst as well... it makes us think about the direction furniture design needs to take in the future." So, let's have a look at some inspiring new designs that I think may be a sign for that direction. Art Deco and desire for luxury seem to be back again along with the global trend for real sustainability. Pacific is the continuation of a design process begun in 2010 with the iconic Redondo collection by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso: Soft lines and curves everywhere, too.
