SaloneSatellite

SaloneSatellite, the jewel in the crown of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, will take place  from 8 to 13 April 2025. Applications for SaloneSatellite 2025 will be open until 31 August 2024. For further information please write to salonesatellite@salonemilano.it

SaloneSatellite is the very first event to have devoted particular attention to young designers, instantly becoming the meeting place par excellence for entrepreneurs/talent scouts and the most promising designers. Its creation – in 1998 thanks to Marva Griffin Wilshire, who is still its Curator – was an act of faith in the creative potential of designers under 35. Many of the prototypes presented at previous editions have gone into production and many of the 14,000 designers, along with 270 International Design Schools and Universities, that took part, have become prominent names on the design scene. An outpost of creativity, ruled from the very beginning by the belief in experimentation, this visionary hub explores the design world of the future, edition after edition, reflecting on how to tackle the challenges of the future from a design point of view. In an age characterised by swinging changes in environmental, economic and social balances, young designers will be the ones who will provide valuable information that will serve to guide us. Each year, the SaloneSatellite Award rewards three of the most deserving projects and assigns some Special Mentions. All the competing prototypes are assessed by an International Jury and showcased in a single collective exhibition.
