Exhibitions Our amazing community Add to bookmarks The voices of the design world, in an ode to the community met at the Salone del Mobile.Milano for 60 editions The 60th edition of the Salone del Mobile ended last week, Sunday, June 12, and it was a huge success. This anniversary was a moment to remember: a week of productive exchanges on design, sustainability and the future of our industry. It was all made possible thanks to you: companies, designers, technicians, architects, fitters and even carpenters, upholsterers, interior stylists, decorators, buyers, furniture makers and dealers. Together you represent our amazing community and the time has come to celebrate it. Just before the Salone began, we launched a video in which we told, through an ode to design, the passion, excellence, savoir-faire, imagination and the future-oriented vision: the work that designers and brands do for 12 months to then reveal themselves when the exhibition comes, once a year, to tell audiences all around the world the incredible story of the objects that have enlivened the places of our lives since 1961. Now we have finally met again in person, and during the week of the Salone we met designers, architects, enthusiasts, visitors, guests and workers, all those who share with us a love for design. This video is our way of celebrating you, our community, reconfirming how our common passion has always been the force that binds us and continues to inspire our future. With design, always. 20 June 2022 Share
