As we wrap up our extensive Milan coverage for another year, we’ve yet to specifically highlight the epic design fairground that is Salone Del Mobile. Until today! The scene is set with stalwart players displaying all their new wares, whilst elsewhere in the sprawling Rho Fiera fairgrounds, new brands make their debut. We’re talking 24 halls, around 2,000 brands, and close to 450,000 visitors throughout the week. Picture a stadium during a grand final game, but replace all the chaotic fans with design die-hards.We’ve sifted through the information overload to narrow down the best of the best. There’s a Dali recliner recreation, angular graphic vases and more from BD Barcelona Design, a retro swim-inspired campaign from Diabla, the chicest brass detailed rattan bench by GamFratesi… the list goes on! But we’ll let you scroll on and see for yourself.Consider this article a taste-test of this year’s Salone. If you’d like to dive into our complete edit of many, many more new releases, installations and product updates from both Salone Del Mobile and Milan Design Week 2019 as a whole, we’d suggest getting your hands on our Milantrace 2019 Digital Report.
