The Salone Internazionale del Mobile is the best and largest exhibition in the design calendar, showcasing the hottest and most influential figures in the world. Held at the recently revamped Fiera Milano exhibition centre. Various exhibitions are grouped according to product category and styles (furnishing accessories, office furniture, kitchen appliances, bathroom accessories etc), a system that is supposed to minimise confusion and guide visitors around the fair.

While the main events are a must for international trade buyers and the design-conscious, some prefer to attend the fringe events, scattered throughout the streets of Milan in bars, cafés, antique stores, warehouses and boutiques. For others, the best fun is at the parties, open to everyone if you can find out where they are happening!

The event draws thousands of people to Milan, so make sure you book your accommodation in advance.
