The Salone del Mobile is the global benchmark for the Home Furnishing Sector. 2015 show was a great success but now they are working hard for its next edition, which will take place on April 2016. To learn more about this amazing event and discover all the novelties we will find in the exhibition we've been talking with the organizers.

Concretely Roberto Snaidero, the President of Salone del Mobile in Milano has answered us all the questions as well as give us some reasons why we can't miss the International Salon.

The novelties of the next edition

I suppose the design world is still absorbing and trying to catch up with the new proposals seen at the Salone last April. Our exhibiting companies are quite jealous about their ideas and future production and above all it is a bit early for the anticipations but I’m sure that there will be a lot of beautiful and innovative surprises especially at EuroCucina and SaloneBagno. The two biennial exhibitions are in fact a perfect benchmark not only regarding the design lines but also the technological performances they can offer.

3 reasons to visit Salone Internazionale del Mobile

1. To visit Salone means to see and touch firsthand the best furniture from classic to design. Even though the modern media can bring you instant news about new product nothing can compare with the feeling of being a part of it for real.
2. The Salone is also the best place to meet all kind of people of the furniture sector.
3. And if you are curious, the Salone is the must place to be to discover future trends: “The Salone in fact is the village that brings where the others will follow” wrote a prestigious international magazine some years ago, and this is still valid today

What I have to know to exhibit in Milano (some specific rules in venues...)?

I suggest you visit the Salone del Mobile website where you can find all the specific answers. This is the link www.salonemilano.it/en-us/EXHIBITORS/Salone-Internazionale-del-Mobile/How-to-participate

Basically all products and services to be exhibited must be directly related to the industry. The right time to make a request is right after the Salone or even during the Salone directly at the Fairgrounds. The exhibition area consists of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile (three different product styles: design, modern, classic), International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition and four biennial exhibitions – EuroCucina / International Kitchen Furniture Exhibition with SaloneBagno/ International Bathroom Exhibition on odd years and Euroluce / International Lighting Exhibition with Workplace3.0/SaloneUfficio the International Workplace Exhibition on even years.
