Salone del Mobile 2021 is going ahead from 5 to 10 September 2021. A note by the fair confirms the next edition of the globally renowned furniture fair will take place in September 2021, for a 59th edition ‘led by innovation and uniqueness.’
The note defines the 2021 edition of Salone del Mobile as ‘unique, iconic and innovative,’ curated by Stefano Boeri and showcasing important work carried out by the furniture companies over the past 18 months through special thematic exhibitions.
Following the meetings, the fair expressed confidence that the government would act to allow trade fairs and public events to resume in time for September. Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s words last week, on the need for a recovery plan for the relaunch of trade fairs and events, were echoed by the meetings held in Rome,” said Claudio Feltrin, president of FederlegnoArredo, the Italian timber industry trade body that owns Salone del Mobile organising body Cosmit. This sends a very important signal from the politicians, showing that they are fully cognisant of the urgent need not just for a set date, but also for the requisite reassurances in order to organise a major event such as the Salone del Mobile di Milano within the necessary timeframes.

After recently beginning renovation works at its Treviso-based headquarters for the creation of the new Arper Design Lab, the venerable design firm is turning its former workspace into a vibrant and open-innovation living lab.
Extending over an area of 1700 square meters, the lab will serve as a multifunctional space, which will combine product development and a carefully curated space, showcasing Arper’s latest eye-catching collections.
The next-generation space will feature a new prototype laboratory, as well as a material library, displaying an up-to-date selection of the finest materials, fabrics and leathers. There will also be spaces for training and socialising, while a fully equipped photo studio, will allow for photographic and video content to be produced on site.
