The 64th edition of Salone del Mobile Milano will be held from April 21 to April 26, 2026, at Fiera Milano, Rho. This premier furniture fair will focus on sustainable innovation, smart workplaces, and materials research, featuring biennial exhibitions such as EuroCucina and the International Bathroom Exhibition. In parallel, Milan will host Fuorisalone events, which include associated exhibitions and installations throughout the city. Salone del Mobile showcases furniture, accessories, kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, and office solutions from over 1,900 exhibitors from 32 countries, occupying more than 169,000 square meters. This convergence highlights the city's ability to merge diverse disciplines and foster cultural engagement through various initiatives beyond the exhibition halls. Together with local museums and institutions, the Salone enriches the week with a dynamic cultural program, including lots of pop-up events and stores and Italian Brands hosting their clients.
This year, Milan will host three key design events outside the Rho pavilions: a publishing stands in Piazza della Scala, an urban itinerary featuring five notable buildings, and the opening of the city’s design and architecture archives. Milan Design Week comprises two main parts: the Salone del Mobile, a trade fair at Rho Fiera Milano showcasing new furniture and design products, and the Fuorisalone, an uncurated series of public exhibitions and events throughout the city.
