Milan is preparing to host the 63ᵉ edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, from April 8 to 13, 2025. This year's event will bring together over 2,000 exhibitors from 37 countries, and unveils an exceptional cultural program where emotion dialogues with the avant-garde.
Milan, design capital in transformation
In an ever-changing world, Milan's Salone del Mobile sets new trends. The figures speak for themselves: over 370,000 visitors are expected, a figure that testifies to the appeal of the show and its importance in the design and furnishings industry. At the heart of this effervescence, light and emotion take center stage, thanks to a cultural program that defies the limits of spatial design.
Three major art installations will be featured this year:
“Villa Héritage” de Pierre-Yves Rochon, un hommage à l’élégance intemporelle, où le passé et le futur fusionnent dans une mise en scène immersive.
“La Dolce Attesa” de Paolo Sorrentino, une installation où l’attente devient une expérience hypnotique, un voyage sensoriel où le temps suspend son vol.
“Mother” de Robert Wilson, une œuvre magistrale au Musée Pietà Rondanini – Castello Sforzesco, en dialogue avec l’ultime chef-d’œuvre inachevé de Michel-Ange.
These installations are showcases for artistic and architectural know-how, and reflect a desire to explore the impact of design on our emotions, lifestyles and perceptions. For while design shapes the world, it also shapes the way we inhabit space, interact with materials and experience the environments that surround us.
A dialogue between technology, craftsmanship and humanity
L’édition 2025 se distingue également par son exploration de la lumière et de l’espace, avec le lancement du premier Forum international Euroluce, qui rassemblera architectes, scientifiques, designers et anthropologues pour repenser l’impact de l’éclairage sur la vie humaine. Ce laboratoire de réflexion s’articulera autour de deux journées d’échanges sous le thème “Light for Life, Light for Spaces”, illustrant comment la lumière peut être à la fois outil de bien-être, de durabilité et d’innovation architecturale.
Le SaloneSatellite, dédié aux jeunes talents, poursuivra quant à lui son rôle de pépinière d’idées en mettant à l’honneur le thème “Nouveau Artigianato : Un monde nouveau”, une invitation à réconcilier savoir-faire artisanal et design contemporain. Ici, le bois, le métal, la céramique et les matériaux de demain se rencontrent dans une dynamique de préservation et de transformation.
The Salone experience is not limited to the Rho Fiera pavilions. Milan itself becomes a theater of encounters and discoveries. With more than 100 showrooms open in the city and events in collaboration with Milano Design Week, the Salone forges links between industry, culture and the general public, reinforcing its role as the crossroads of global design.
A strong commitment to responsible design
Beyond its economic and artistic role, Salone del Mobile is committed to sustainable innovation and social responsibility. This edition sees the continuation of the ISO 20121 certification process, guaranteeing responsible management of the event. In addition, the show is renewing its Green Guidelines, encouraging exhibitors to adopt more environmentally-friendly practices in their staging.
Another key initiative for 2025 is the collaboration with Fondation AIRC, which is celebrating 60 years of cancer research. Through a special edition of the Love Design project, the show is committed to supporting young researchers by raising funds to finance new medical advances.
In a world where design is becoming a universal language, this edition promises to be a manifesto for a future where the human being remains at the center of creation. From light to form, from object to space, from material to emotion, Milan 2025 promises to be a sensory, intellectual and visionary journey.
