In addition to sustainability - a central theme in this year’s fair - a lot of colour everywhere was another distinctive interior design trend. After the gloomy almost two years without live events designers now respond with rich colour palettes:

| This one continues to be one of my favorites, even after testing it personally :) |
I like glass very much and for a good reason - it creates a feeling of lightness in the interiors I design. And especially coloured glass. Imagine how beautiful these side tables will be in front of your sofa or next to your comfortable armchair :)

If you have missed the official opening of the new Salone digital platform yesterday, enjoy!
The press conference about the coming in September Salone del Mobile just finished. It was very interesting and informative! The 60th Salone will be innovative with different identity. Stefano Boeri, the curator of this year's Salone del Mobile, presented the main concept.
It seems there will be a complete change of scenery - a different layout with no boots. The area will look like a small town with a lot of greenery and pavillions and open to the public as well as to professionals.The proposed format is that of a large design library. One of the main themes will be the possibility to re-use most of the elements in the exhibitions.

Then some of the co-designers presented the ideas in more details:
Andrea Caputo said "we used the linear meter logic. A sequnce of walls and vertical surfaces will be used."
Maria Kristina talked about 'people curating' - "there will be three categories of series of meetings - lectures, talks, conversations"
Giorgo Dona' presented the "new unique public spaces; spaces about the history of design and an area dedicated to the future".
Lucas Wegwerth talked about reuse,"to make possible that everything is reused in different contexts, modular kits; sharing materials rather than disposing them".
Aniina Coyvu curator presented "The lost graduation show - Class of 2020/2021" - one large exhibition of design schools and the best graduation projects.
The dinamic logo:
One of the keywords is TOGATHERNESS said Stefano Boeri when closing the press conference.
We are all looking forward to this quite different SUPERSALONE!
Probably this is going to be quite a different edition - a hybrid event with a new concept, uniting a physical exhibition at Rho Fiera Milano of tightly curated products and novelties of the last 18 months, which will dialogue with the all-new digital platform. In this new form of Salone visitors will also be able to purchase some of the brands’ creations.

We all are looking forward to this new edition of Salone del Mobile, the world's biggest and most important design event!
"... We all need the Salone in Milan. Over the last few months, clients and designers from all over the world, and the press that follows us at international level, have been asking us constantly to confirm the dates for this edition. We’ll be there, and we’ll be even more attractive and more motivated, just as motivated as the companies working to design and manufacture the best possible products. After such a lengthy period of physical and social distancing in every sphere, we would like to be able to see the Salone as an opportunity for actual meeting and discussion, and a chance for us all to share our excitement with a city buzzing with new ideas.
The 60th edition will bring together for the first time all the product categories, representing a special moment.", says President of the Salone del Mobile, Claudio Luti.
We are all expecting it!
The 60th edition of Salone del Mobile will be held from 13th to 18th April 2021 @ Rho Fiera Milano. Have a look at some of the coming exhibitions:
