Salone del Mobile 2015
Today is the starting date of the 54th edition of the Salone del Mobile, which will be held as always at Fiera Milano, Rho from 14 to 19 April.
2,000 exhibitors, 200,000 square meters, more than 300,000 visitors expected from 160 countries: these are some of the numbers of the most important and international event in the field, which this year, in addition to the annual Salone del Mobile, the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition and the SaloneSatellite, will feature the biennial shows Euroluce and Workplace3.0/SaloneUfficio.
As always, the Salone del Mobile is a showcase for companies to present new products and new technologies, but the tradition of the Salone also includes cultural events and entertainment:
Euroluce will celebrate its 28th edition and the International Year of Light proclaimed by UNESCO with Favilla. To every light a voice: an installation by architect Attilio Stocchi that examines the essence of light and will be located in the center of Milan.
Workplace3.0/SaloneUfficio will complete the exhibition roster, hosting in Pavilions 22-24 The Walk by Michele De Lucchi: a new concept for the spaces where we work, a new vision of the way we work.
Italian know-how and excellence will be the focus of IN ITALY, a multimedia presentation by Four in the Morning curated by architect Dario Curatolo: a film that will become an interactive App with which to explore the histories and products of 64 Italian companies.
Planet Life is the theme, in keeping with Expo 2015, that will be addressed by the 700 young designers of the SaloneSatellite, now in its 18th edition. They will also compete in the 6th SaloneSatellite Award which honors the three best prototypes in each of the product categories.
And finally, the Salone del Mobile is supporting the exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci, the largest such show about the Renaissance genius ever staged in Italy, sponsored by the City of Milan and realized through the partnership of Palazzo Reale and Skira.
