Architectural Exhibition at Salone del Mobile : After a year of absence in light of the pandemic, Milan Design Week, one of the most anticipated design events to take place in Italy, will finally open its doors to visitors. From the 5th to the 10th of September, more than 350,000 architects, designers, artists, and craftsmen from all around the world will have the chance to explore new design innovations and exchange ideas about the interior design, furniture, and lighting. During the week-long event, Salone del Mobile, the awaited furniture and interior design event of the year, will be hosting local and international exhibitors at the Fiera Milano, Rho, along with interventions by world-renowned architects across the city.
This year’s Salone del Mobile is curated by Italian architect and urban planner Stefano Boeri, with the help of international collaborators Andrea Caputo, Maria Cristina Didero, Anniina Koivu, Lukas Wegwerth, Marco Ferrari, Elisa Pasqual of Studio Folder, and Giorgio Donà, co-founder and director of Stefano Boeri Interiors. Unlike previous editions of the event, this year will see a new, expanded format to mark the 60th anniversary of Salone del Mobile, which takes place in its 2022 edition, titled “SuperSalone”.
The SuperSalone is set to be a grand, dynamic display that will allow visitors to circulate inside a large design archive of long presentation walls, instead of the traditional living room-like booths that were used in previous editions. The display will be organized by themed areas and itineraries, showcasing new products developed by the companies over the past 18 months.
The new layout focuses on “circularity and sustainability”, using material that will be dismantled and reused in the future.
Since 2015, the Salone has dedicated a section of the exhibition to the workplace and the innovations related to it. The Workplace 3.0 highlights innovations in the design and technology of workspace planning, exploring new approaches and solutions to the “workplace of the future”. Workplaces and the traditional concept of work have been evolving rapidly over the past years. The pandemic, however, accelerated this evolution and introduced new and entirely different workspace solution.
The Salone is also dedicating a section of the exhibition to upcoming designers. The SaloneSatellite is an exhibition dedicated solely on young emerging designers under the age of 35, whose ideas are yet to be shared with designers, clients, and talent scouts.
Along with the exhibitions displayed at the Salone del Mobile, many installations and projects by international architects will be unveiled across the city. Some of these installations include works by CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati, who has collaborated with energy company Eni to create Natural Capital, an installation at Brera’s botanical gardens which is claimed to be one of the largest data visualization pieces ever produced that showcases how plants take part in oxygen and carbon dioxide production.
Peter Pichler Architecture will exhibit its Vertical Chalet Installations at the Fluorisalone opening exhibition. Swiss university ECAL is collaborating with Japanese home retail company MUJI to create COMPACT LIFE, a collection of furniture and home accessories that aid in organizing day-to-day tasks produced by the students of the Industrial Design Bachelor of the university.
In addition to the installations and interventions, visitors will have the chance to see how architects diversified and immersed themselves in the worlds of interior, furniture, and lighting design, creating unique pieces in collaboration with international design brands. These collaborations include pieces by Zaha Hadid, David Adjaye, Atelier Jean Nouvel, and Snøhetta, among others.
Open Talks, an event organized by Maria Cristina Didero allows creatives, innovators, entrepreneurs, architects, artists and politicians from all around the world to share their invaluable ideas of how we can create and build a better future.
