Imran Amed’s Weekly Letter: Salone del Mobile 🏺

Salone del Mobile, the annual furniture fair which anchors Milan Design Week, is to the furniture, lighting and interiors industries what Paris Fashion Week is to the world of fashion and luxury: a showcase for the latest trends and products and ideas shaping the future of design, as well as a place for networking, deal-making, discovering new suppliers and connecting with potential clients. ~/AAAHagA~/RgRoBdNSP0SLaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYnVzaW5lc3NvZmZhc2hpb24uY29tLz91dG1fc291cmNlPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXJfZGFpbHlkaWdlc3QmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249RGFpbHlfRGlnZXN0XzIwMDQyNCZ1dG1fY29udGVudD1ib2ZfbG9nb1cFc3BjZXVCCmYfUk4jZt_hMmFSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJA~~ ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAHagA~/RgRoBdNSP0QWaHR0cHM6Ly9ib2YudG8vM1BWdWt2d1cFc3BjZXVCCmYfUk4jZt_hMmFSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJA~~ WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 2024 MILAN — Salone del Mobile, the annual furniture fair which anchors Milan Design Week, is to the furniture, lighting and interiors industries what Paris Fashion Week is to the world of fashion and luxury: a showcase for the latest trends and products and ideas shaping the future of design, as well as a place for networking, deal-making, discovering new suppliers and connecting with potential clients. Design weeks are popping up around the world, from Copenhagen (Three Days of Design) to Miami (Design Miami) to Dubai (Dubai Design Week), a sign of the growing interest in design around the world, but none of these comes close to Salone. This year, more than 300,000 people were expected in Milan for Design Week, including a growing cohort of ultra high-net worth consumers. For someone like me, who is more au fait with fashion weeks, Salone also feels more convivial and relaxed, with better weather and fewer distractions. There are no street style peacocks hustling for attention or celebrity logjams created by K-pop and Hollywood stars. Plus, the exclusive VIP press previews and industry events that dominate the early part of the week eventually give way to an open-door policy where anyone can come in to appreciate the creativity that animates hundreds of design companies, architects and designers. Overall, everything is more agreeable and chill. But this year, many of the design creatives, executives and investors I spoke to were grumbling about two factors that threatened to dampen the week’s festivities; first, the “scandal” that the opening dates of this year’s Venice Biennale overlap with Design Week, meaning many planned to leave Milan early to catch previews in Venice. And second, the growing number of fashion and automotive brands staging big events with gargantuan budgets, “fuori Salone,” on the periphery of the main trade event. Even Technogym, the Italian company known for its gym equipment, got in on the action, setting up a green terrazzo at the top of via Solferino.
