It was to have brought together around 2,200 exhibitors, including Scandinavian style specialists, the big lighting creators and even hotel room designers ; as well as hundreds of young designers under 35.
Presentation of the Milan Furniture Exhibition
The first exhibition was held in 1961 on the initiative of a panel of manufacturers who wished to promote Italian furniture exports. Furniture sector leaders met in the same exhibition area in 1965. The leading world architecture review Domus gave them its first article. Two years later, the exhibition became international.
Since then, every year, the Lombardy capital gets ready to welcome the excitement. At the Fiera Rho, the Milan exhibition centre, the great brands from all over the world meet in a space of 210,000 m2. The Milan meet-up presents a wide sample of the trends and novelties which are about to be launched. Walk-in wardrobes. Pendant lighting, consoles, armchairs, coffee tables, bed linen... Every kind of indoor and outdoor furniture accessory is honoured. While the « Furniture Exhibition » is only open to professionals during the week, the general public is welcome over the weekend, when seven simultaneous events are planned. Also, the « Salone Satellite Award competition » awards a prize every year to a designer under the age of 35 to promote new talent.
Bathroom creations are also highlighted in a renowned exhibition. Finally, EuroCucina has been THE key meet-up bringing together some 117 kitchen design specialists since 1974, whilst the Euroluce showroom is dedicated to lighting creators.
In parallel to the Furniture Exhibition, the « Milan Design Week » is held, also known as Fuorisalone. Therefore, for a week, spaces in several neighbourhoods in the historical centre of the city – Brera design District, Tortona District… – are reconfigured by design, architect and creative businesses.
