Lost and Roll - Ph. Gianluca Vassallo
From ticketing to useful information on how to get to Rho Fiera Milano, the new visitor paths and the unmissable cultural events. A handy guide to keep at the ready
There’s just over a month to go until edition number 62 of the Salone del Mobile.Milano. The industry’s leading event will be packed with new things again this year. From 16th to 21st April, sectoral companies, buyers, journalists and design lovers will arrange to meet up at Rho Fiera Milano to check out the latest novelties and trends in a sector that is constantly growing and evolving. There will be many new developments, as we said, starting with the visitor paths, designed with a human-centred approach. There will also be lots of new products facing up to the challenges of sustainability and lots of cultural events, installations, talks and round tables to take in.
We’ve put together a Practical Guide to the Salone del Mobile.Milano 2024 to help you prepare for and plan your visit to the fair as well as possible.
