Milan has earned the title of design capital and is today in full renovation. New neighborhoods such as Porta Nuova or CityLife and buildings such as MUDEC (Chipperfield) or the Feltrinelli Foundation (Herzog & De Meuron) place it at the forefront of architecture and urban planning. This journey combines the rediscovery of the city with the most important event in the world of design and interior design: the Milan Furniture Fair 2023. This year, the exhibition, directed by Maria Porro, in addition to presenting the latest innovations in furniture and design, hosts the “Salone Satellite”, dedicated to new talents, S. Project, and after 4 years, the Euroluce, dedicated to the world of lighting, in addition to a multitude of activities that are prepared for these dates.
Milan Design Week is a unique opportunity to see the latest in furniture and lighting design and network with the industrialists, interior designers and design professionals from around the world who visit the city every year.
