The countdown to the 63rd edition of Salone del Mobile.Milano has begun, promising another memorable celebration of design excellence from April 8th to 13th, 2025, at Fiera Milano, Rho. This year’s edition emerges as a powerful platform where industrial manufacturing, sustainable innovation, and emotional intelligence converge to shape our future living spaces.

With more than 2,000 exhibitors from 37 countries occupying 169,000 square metres of exhibition space, the fair continues to strengthen its position as the global epicentre of design innovation. The event will welcome 148 brands, including both first-timers and returning exhibitors, highlighting the industry’s dynamic evolution and growth.

This year’s cultural programme brings three site-specific installations that promise to push creative boundaries. Robert Wilson’s ‘Mother’ at the Museo Pietà Rondanini—Castello Sforzesco kicks off the festivities, creating an intriguing dialogue with Michelangelo’s unfinished masterpiece. Paolo Sorrentino’s ‘La dolce attesa’ in Pavilions 22-24 offers a meditation on anticipation and beauty, while Pierre-Yves Rochon’s ‘Villa Héritage’ showcases visionary interior design that bridges tradition and innovation.
