Salone del Mobile 2023 and Milan Design Week offered a rich programme of events, installations and launches from 18 to 23 April, as the fair returned to its traditional Spring dates for the first time in three years. Salone constitutes Milan Design Week when it roars through the ancient canal city enhancing the beauty of Milan as an axis of art, design, and fashion.

The design of the pavilions was entrusted to Milanese architectural firm Lombardini 22, creating a layout that enhances visitors’ journey. The new layout will be inspired by Italian historic town centres, reimagining the fair as a city, for which Euroluce will serve as experimental ground.

The Salone will boast a series of site-specific cultural moments, dubbed ‘Constellations’ and featuring works by creatives (names include Sarah Illenberger and Patrick Tuttofuoco) shown within structures designed by Formafantasma. Modular pavilions made of paper and wood (to have the minimum impact and be reused and recycled after the event) will punctuate the Euroluce pavilions and become immersive moments of pause within the bustling fair.
