Salone Internazionale del Mobile

Above: the first International Furniture Fair was held in 1961.

April 22 - April 27, 2009

From 22nd to 27th April at the Milan Fairgrounds, Rho: this year I Saloni will comprise the 48th edition of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, the 25th of Euroluce, the 23rd of the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition, and it will also mark the 12th anniversary of SaloneSatellite.

It's all systems go again! The engines driving the great Saloni machine are now up and running, fired up by the huge success of the previous edition.
Great projects, great displays and great crowds will provide the basic ingredients for what is universally regarded as the key event par excellence at global level in the home furnishing sector.

This year will comprise the 48th edition of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, the 25th of Euroluce, the 23rd of the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition, and it will also mark the 12th anniversary of SaloneSatellite. As always, there will be an infinite range of offerings, showcasing every possible type of domestic furnishing, from stand-alone pieces to coordinates, and every possible style, from classical to design to modern, not to mention trendsetting.

The all-encompassing range of top quality goods on display at Euroluce, the International Lighting Exhibition, will serve as confirmation yet again of the original interest in the decorative that subsequently led to the involvement of other sectors such as street lighting, technical illumination, light sources and their control systems. SaloneSatellite, that unmissable event and great crowd-pulling catalyst, will be held again this year, with its line-up of creative young talent at the service of businesses.

Collateral events
The two worlds of Furnishing and Light will also be the protagonists for the two collateral events that have been the hallmark adjuncts of the Saloni for many years. A major exhibition – conceived and overseen by Luigi Settembrini - will be devoted to modern and antique furnishing, tying them in with a special pedigree mapping out the origins of Made in Italy.

Light in all its infinite and spectacular variations will be the focus for the other event, which will be held against the backdrop of Milan, a veritable homage by the Saloni to the city itself, underlining the close link between the exhibition proper and the urban fabric.
