Must-see events at Salone 2026
- Salone Contract was created to open up the Salone system to the scale of large integrated projects. Its aim is to strengthen the presence of the supply chain in high-growth sectors such as hospitality, real estate, public spaces and marine, contexts that require new skills and new tools for access and collaboration. At the core of the 2026 spin-off will be the first day of the International Forum, featuring a lecture by Rem Koolhaas and the public presentation of the 2027 Masterplan, developed with David Gianotten of OMA.
- Salone Raritas. Curated icons, unique objects, and outsider pieces, taking place in Pavilion 9, will open up an “architectural lantern” onto a parallel universe, bringing collectible one-off objects into focus. With 28 exhibitors and an international constellation including galleries such as NILUFAR, Salviati x Draga & Aurel, Mouromtsev Design Editions, Mercado Moderno, PARASITE 2.0 x BIANCO67 and Brun Fine Arts, the new platform is curated by Annalisa Rosso, Editorial Director & Cultural Events Advisor of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, with exhibition design by Formafantasma.
- Aurea, an Architectural Fiction, designed by the Paris-based studio Maison Numéro 20, led by interior architect Oscar Lucien Ono, is an imaginary hotel conceived as a sequence of narrative spaces, offering a reflection on luxury as a balance of measure, sensitivity and awareness.
- In April’s Public Programme, ‘Drafting Futures. Conversations about Next Perspectives’, curated by Annalisa Rosso, reaches its fourth edition and continues, in the arena designed by Formafantasma, as a platform for discussion on the most pressing issues relating to innovation, sustainability and new market prospects.

- ABITO, the exhibition organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and curated by Palomba Serafini Associati, interweaving fashion and design to illustrate, through objects and garments, how society is changing and, the way we live and inhabit our spaces.
- The exhibition MADE IN MiC, whose core will be the Archetypes section: a tribute to applied arts and proto-design between 1900 and 1945, when art entered interiors and transformed their language, architecture engaged with objects and the domestic scale, and craftsmanship evolved toward more structured forms of production.
- THE CHAIN OF WONDERS: an exhibition celebrating the history and identity of FederlegnoArredo, curated by Beppe Finessi, the exhibition will trace the history of the wood and furniture sector, highlighting its central role in shaping Italy’s industrial and cultural identity, starting with the commemorative stamp marking the federation’s 80th anniversary.
In Milan, the city of the Salone
- On 24 April, Common Archive – La Notte Bianca del Progetto – an initiative organised by the Osservatorio del Salone del Mobile.Milano, supported by the Lombardy Region and the Municipality of Milan– will host a series of events across the city. For one evening, coming together for the first time, Milan’s historical design and architecture archives will open their doors to the public with a programme of over 50 guided tours and talks, highlighting a wealth of knowledge that belongs to the city but speaks to the world.
- From 17th to 26th April, the Design Kiosk will be back in Piazza della Scala, with a programme of conversations curated by Reading Room focusing on independent publishing and its contemporary evolutions.
- In Piazza Sant'Eustorgio, a newsstand entirely dedicated to the event will become the starting point for an urban itinerary put together by Bianca Felicori, founder of Forgotten Architecture. The project, developed for the Salone, will invite people to cross the city by touching five emblematic buildings of the 20th century, in partnership with K-Way.
