Large Plan: What You Need to Know About Salone del Mobile.Milano Moscow 2018

This year, the Salone del Mobile.Milano attracted an overwhelming number of visitors, and guests unanimously agree: it was something extraordinary! In October, the prestigious exhibition arrives in Moscow — for the fourteenth time. Everything you wanted to know about Salone del Mobile Milano.Moscow 2018 and why this event is a must-see for anyone interested in interior design is covered in our review.

What's happening in Milan? As part of the annual Salone del Mobile.Milano (also known as iSaloni or the Milan Furniture Fair), leading furniture and interior design manufacturers gather to present the latest innovations to the world. It is this Milan Furniture Fair that sets the trends for interior design in the upcoming year. The venue is the Fiera Milano Rho exhibition center in Milan, Italy.

Alongside the furniture exhibition, Salone del Complemento d′Arredo (fabrics and accessories) is also held. This year, Eurocucina (kitchens) and Salone Internazionale del Bagno (bathroom equipment) were included, which are held every even year. In the next odd year, one can expect to see innovations in lighting, accessories, and hardware for furniture manufacturing and office equipment.

During the exhibition, another important event takes place — the prestigious Young Designers Contest SaloneSatellite. For emerging professionals, SaloneSatellite is an excellent opportunity to introduce themselves and build valuable business connections.

In Moscow, the event was first held in 2005. Until last year, it was called iSaloni WorldWide Moscow. This year, the exhibition was renamed Salone del Mobile Milano.Moscow to emphasize its international character and Italian origin.

What to Expect from the Event?
Like the Milan Salon, the Moscow exhibition will take place under the slogan 'Enjoy the Design!' — a variation of the traditional Italian Bon Appétit! The organizers of Salone del Mobile Milano.Moscow are the ICHE Agency and the Italian Embassy.

Over 250 leading companies in furniture, lighting, kitchens, bathroom equipment, textiles, and decorative items will be present at the exhibition this year. All of these were showcased in Milan in April.

You should definitely attend if you are a beginning designer or an experienced professional, a fan of thoughtful and modern interiors, and follow global design trends, or simply want to be inspired by fresh ideas before an upcoming renovation.

What to See?
For first-time visitors, it's sure to be interesting to see interior collections from leading fashion brands such as Fendi Casa, Roberto Cavalli home, Missoni Home, as well as stands from well-known names like Kartell, Longhi, Cattelan Italia or Jumbo Collection. Each exhibit reflects the spirit of the respective company.

Don’t miss the brand CC-tapis — at the Milan Salon, it presented carpets and tapestries, among which many highlighted carpets designed by Patricia Urquiola. Also, consider reading reviews and impressions of our designers who attended the Moscow exhibition last year.
