The previous edition


Before delving into the new features of Salone del Mobile 2023, it is useful to take a look at the past, at the previous edition of 2022. Last year, the Milan Furniture Fair demonstrated its resilience in the face of global challenges, proposing solutions and creative ideas that combined design, sustainability and innovation.

Some of the most memorable moments of the 2022 edition included the presence of major international design brands such as Kartell, Poliform and Vitra, who presented their latest collections. In addition, attention to sustainability and social responsibility was a central theme, with numerous projects focusing on recycled or low environmental impact materials.

Finally, the Salone del Mobile 2022 offered a rich programme of collateral events, including exhibitions, installations and talks, which involved not only the exhibition centre but also other symbolic places in the city of Milan, making the event an all-round cultural experience.


This edition's novelties and innovations


The International Furniture Fair promises to be an edition full of novelties and surprises, with an even greater focus on innovation and sustainability. Among this year's most interesting proposals will be modular and transformable furniture solutions, designed to meet the needs of increasingly smaller and more adaptable spaces. The use of sustainable materials and production processes with low environmental impact will be another central theme of the event.

In addition, technology will play a key role in Salone del Mobile 2023, with the presence of smart devices and home automation solutions that aim to improve the quality of life within domestic spaces. There will be no shortage of furniture proposals that integrate technological elements, such as tables equipped with wireless chargers or smart lighting systems.

The Milan Furniture Fair 2023 will also be an opportunity to reflect on the role of design in the social context, with projects that focus on the creation of inclusive spaces accessible to all, regardless of their needs and conditions.
