About Salone Del Mobile 2023

This year the pavilions of Fiera di Milano Rho are set to host the 62nd annual ‘Salone Internazionale del Mobile’ which is a world-renowned international event for home and furnishing.

Just like Fashion Week, The Salone Del Mobile is a “Design Week.” It is mainly a promotional event for the ‘Made in Italy’ furniture industry but it does also feature global vendors. Over the years, the event has evolved to become a place of creativity, innovative technology, and experimentation.

Design

This style is where functionality and new innovation in furniture come into play.

xLux

This is a more experimental luxury type of furniture that is both timeless and contemporary.
