Welcome by Maria Porro, President Salone del Mobile.Milano
Introduction by David Gianotten, OMA's ongoing observations on the Contract sector

With its launch in 2027, the first edition of Salone Contract marks a new phase for the sector. Why has Contract become an urgent topic in today's global landscape? As economic pressures intensify, sustainability requirements evolve, and vulnerabilities in supply chains persist, Contract is emerging as a catalyst for change. This panel will examine the sector's systemic risks — economic, environmental, and operational — and explore why these pressures call for transformation today. Viewed through the lens of Contract, how can these challenges reveal latent possibilities for innovation, resilience, and new forms of value creation?
