Milan design week is in full course

After the success of 2009 shows attended by 313,385 visitors, the annual Spring appointment dedicated to all who have a professional interest in furnishing is back - from 14 to 19 April - at the Rho exhibition centre. 

TheSalone Internazionale del Mobile and the International Furnishing Accessories Exibition, an integrated part of its format, are as usual distinguished by a wide range of goods: from stand-alone pieces to coordinates - in every possible style from classical to design to modern.

The biennial exhibitions Eurocucina with its side event FTK and International Bathroom Exibition, complete the commercial offer together with the SaloneSatellite, as usual dedicated to young designers.

There is also an exceptional number of collateral events dedicated to Milan running alongside the trade shows: four exhibitions focusing on the manufacture of furnishings and furnishing accessories, on kitchens, on bathrooms, plus the project being hosted by key Milanese institutions - from the historic Villa Reale and the Pinacoteca di Brera to the nineteenth century Poldi Pezzoli and Bagatti Valsecchi Historic House Museums, the Planetarium, the Boschi Di Stefano House, and Villa Necchi Campiglio, to the contemporary Triennale Bovisa.

The trade shows on one hand and the collateral events on the other amount to a concentration of culture, and make Milan this week "The City of the Saloni".
