Italian handmade furniture.
Right now in Milan the Design Week is taking place and we are looking forward to tell you more about our trip there.
Great inspiration comes from visiting the fair, the 56th Salone del Mobile, but also from the many happenings around town for the Fuori Salone.

Few weeks ago we decided to visit Salone del Mobile because it is the most important fair in the furniture manufacturing world and it is not only important for the operators but also for inspirations.
The exhibition is huge and there’s so much to see that it is difficult to make a report after only visiting for one day, so below we’ll tell you what we think is relevant to our search for traditional Italian artisans.
We started from Salone Satellite where young designers are hosted, this years it was focused on “New materials, new design” and where, among others, we had the pleasure of meeting again Eugenia Minerva Design who in the past had fascinated us for his work with woven reeds made by artisans and fishermen of the coasts of Puglia.
Getting straight to the heart of the Salone, we had the first impact with the beautiful exhibition“Before design: classic”, with a display of classical style pieces told along a path of eight different rooms and creating a feeling of contemporary environment.
As every year we couldn’t miss to visit Milan during the Design Week (12th-17th April), always looking for artisan realities and sources of inspiration for our future interviews and itineraries.
The 55th Salone del Mobile is taking place in grand halls of the fair in Rho – Fiera while the Fuori Salone embraces the entire city. It is a great time to enjoy Milan.
We are ready to walk a lot and collect many news for the blog. Follow us in the next few days on our Instagram and Facebook accounts with live updates.
