Exhibitions An acrobatic drone at the fair. The Salone del Mobile as you have never seen it before Add to bookmarks Discover for the first time the spectacular images of the Salone del Mobile.Milano in all its complexity, in an exclusive video Over 200,000 square meters, occupied by the stands of 2173 exhibitors, were overflown by an acrobatic drone capturing spectacular original images of the Salone del Mobile as it has never been seen before. The immense surface area covered by the pavilions, the elaborate architecture erected by the companies and the imagination displayed by the designers in shaping the myriads of objects populating these spaces are all brought together in a sequence of compelling images that convey some idea of the Salone in all its complexity. In this way the fascination and grandeur of this important event – with the 60th edition just at an end – are captured in the shots taken from a bird's eye view by the drone between the complex architecture of the Milano Rho trade fair site, and the interiors of the 20 pavilions that hosted the exhibiting companies. And for the first time the real scope of this unparalleled event appears before your eyes at the moment when attendance is at the full, the result of a technical and human achievement that symbolizes excellence. An experience that the whole world envies. To be a part of it, just click on play. 12 June 2022 Share
