Salone del Mobile.Milano 2018: 57th edition

President of the Salone del Mobile Claudio Luti had this to say: β€œWhen you look at the thousands of people streaming through the pavilions each day, it’s easy to understand why the Salone del Mobile.Milano is not just a simple trade fair but a global experience and an emotion that attracts companies, creatives, communicators and professionals from all over the world. Precisely because of this power of attraction, the Salone del Mobile is a great resource for the Italian system, concentrating the innovative excellence of thought and product in a single moment and in a single place.

This is where the words of the Manifesto come alive and become concrete, with business and cultural opportunities for those who believe in quality and ina future fuelled by internationalisation.”
