"The 2026 edition signals a more structural shift through collaborations with figures such as Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten, positioning the Salone as an evolving cultural infrastructure rather than a conventional trade fair."
"Interventions are less isolated showcases than elements of a continuous experience, inviting visitors to move between pavilions, installations, and urban moments, perceiving the fair as a layered network of ideas and spatial encounters."
"Among the most significant developments of the 2026 edition is the first public iteration of Salone Contract, a long-term initiative that will culminate in a dedicated exhibition in 2027."
The 64th edition of Salone del Mobile.Milano features over 1,900 exhibitors and introduces significant changes, including collaborations with Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten. The event aims to transform into a cultural infrastructure, showcasing immersive installations and city-wide interventions. Salone Contract and Salone Raritas debut this year, emphasizing a continuous experience rather than isolated showcases. The fair's programming reflects new operational models and alternative curatorial formats, inviting visitors to engage with design narratives across multiple scales throughout Milan.
