In 1961, the Salone del Mobile was created as a trade fair to promote Italian furniture. Over time, it grew into a global platform where designers, architects, and brands come together to present new ideas, materials, and ways of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What started as an industry event slowly expanded beyond the exhibition halls, spreading into the streets, galleries, and historic buildings of Milan. This transformation gave birth to what we now call <strong>Milan Design Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is the reason why our values are so important. On the following rows, you will understand the philosophy that we strongly believe in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More Than a Fair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Milan Design Week is not a single event but a combination of two worlds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Salone del Mobile<\/strong> \u2014 the official fair, held at Rho Fiera<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fuorisalone<\/strong> \u2014 a city-wide network of exhibitions, installations, and creative experiments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one week every April, Milan becomes a living laboratory of design. Entire districts\u2014Brera, Tortona, Isola, Porta Venezia\u2014transform into immersive environments where ideas are tested and experienced. It is not just about furniture. It is about <strong>how we live now\u2014and how we might live in the future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\" style=\"min-height:555px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-495 size-large lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/architeva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20250412_133220-768x1024.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/architeva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20250412_133220-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/architeva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20250412_133220-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/architeva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20250412_133220-2000x2667.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/architeva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20250412_133220-scaled.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/1024;\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#824c32\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Milan Design Week 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 edition will take place from <strong>April 20\u201326<\/strong>, with the Salone del Mobile running from <strong>April 21\u201326 at Rho Fiera Milano<\/strong>.
