The Salon del Mobile, or Milan Furniture Fair as
it is known across the English-speaking world, is
a highlight of the year as far as the interior design
sector is concerned. This is where the needto-know crowd goes to sample the prevailing
zeitgeist and to get some sense of what's coming
next. And while the Salon del Mobile is where
the big furniture brands come to show off (think
Vitra or perhaps Fornasetti) inroads are increasingly being made by fashion brands as well.

Indeed, if the 2014 fair were to be char8 JULY 2014 | vmsd.com
acterized by anything, it would be the way in
which names such as Armani, Ungaro and Pierre
Cardin have shown ranges alongside more traditional furniture manufacturers and designers.
This is a show for all-comers (close to 1500
exhibitors and nearly 300,000 visitors) and
although the bulk of the action takes place at the
edge-of-city Rho fairgrounds, there are smaller
exhibitions across the city. This year the show
ran from April 8-13 and takes place from April
14-19 in 2015. -John Ryan
