This isn’t just about beautiful chairs (though there will be many). It’s about how design is evolving to meet the needs of a changing world—rethinking space, materiality, sustainability, and human experience.
With city-wide activations, immersive installations, and thought-provoking conversations, Salone is where tomorrow’s aesthetic and functional directions get mapped out.
Here’s what we’re watching:
🛋️ Function meets feeling – From modular systems to sensorial spaces, the emphasis this year is on emotional durability, comfort, and well-being.
🌍 Sustainable design – Expect innovative material use, circularity, and regenerative approaches to take center stage—especially at EuroCucina and the International Bathroom Exhibition.
🧠 Cross-disciplinary ideas – Collaborations between tech, art, fashion, and design are blurring category lines in all the best ways.
🎨 Cultural influence – From heritage brands to new voices, Salone showcases how design shapes identity, storytelling, and even policy.
Why it matters:
If your work touches lifestyle, interiors, sustainability, retail, hospitality, or innovation, this is a pulse check you can’t ignore. Salone isn’t just trend forecasting—it’s where the cultural and commercial future of design is written, one booth (or back alley installation) at a time.
Whether you’re walking Fiera Milano or scrolling from afar, keep this one on your radar.
