In the modern exhibition center in Rho, a few kilometers from the center of Milan, every year architects, designers, decorators, journalists and other professionals from all over the world gather for one of the most important fairs in the world: the Salone del Mobile in Milan.<\/strong> Shall we <\/span>learn<\/span> more? <\/span>\u00a0Here at Your Travel to Italy with Ana Patricia<\/b><\/a>\u00a0you make the trip of your dreams!!!\u00a0ALSO: see our\u00a0\u201cAccommodation in Italy \u2013 Tips for your holidays!\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Salone del Mobile in Milan<\/span> (Salone del Mobile.Milano)<\/strong> is a reference in the decoration, design and furniture sector, in addition to presenting innovations and equipment for the furniture industry.<\/p>\n This fair has been taking place since 1961 <\/strong>and arose out of Italy’s need to have contact with consumers and professionals in the <\/span>field<\/span><\/strong>. With the aim of promoting the Italian furniture sector export, the objective was achieved through the quality of the Italian furniture industry: with raw materials of excellent quality, Italian furniture offers – in addition to a very characteristic design – a superior quality and is very sought after by architects, decorators and other professionals in the field.

At the time, only 328 companies participated in the event in a modest area of \u200b\u200b<\/span>only 11,860 m\u00b2: the fair was a success and they received more than 12,000 visitor<\/span>s, 800 of which came from abroad<\/span>. However, it was only from 1967 onwards that the exhibition became international \u2013 in alternate years \u2013 and from 1991 onwards, it started to have <\/span>annual editions. To give you an idea of \u200b\u200b<\/span>the fair’s success, in 1991 the number of exhibitors had a considerable jump: it rose to 1,959, of which 258 were from abroad. The exhibition area has also been expanded to (impressive!) 144,000 m\u00b2. The fair was visited by 147,000 visitors, 53,000 of which were foreigners.<\/p>\n In 1994, the Milan Salon reached another historic milestone: it managed to displace the celebrated Koelnmesse<\/strong> <\/span>– the German furniture fair, which was until then the most important in the sector and, with this achievement, the Milan Salon became a world reference, gaining the status of ‘the most important fair’ in the home and furniture sector.<\/p>\n As mentioned, the Salone Internationale del Mobile<\/span> <\/strong>takes place every year in Milan. Not long ago, the event was held in April, however, currently, the exhibition takes place in months predetermined by the organization and always takes place in conjunction with the Milan Design Week<\/span><\/a> (Milano Design Week <\/span>\u2013 also known as the now famous Fuorisalone <\/span>\u2013).<\/strong> which in 2022 takes place between the 6th and 12th of June). This event was organized in the same area as the furniture salon fair, however, since 2005, it has had its activities in the new headquarters designed and built by Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas<\/span>; Fuorisalone also gained new spaces throughout the Lombard capital to facilitate access and promote new designer stores.
