Great success for the 62nd edition of the Salone del Mobile
Record turnout, great innovations, and future visions.
The 62nd edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano concluded with a record turnout, marking a 17,1% increase compared to the previous year. With a total participation of 361.417 people, representing an increase of 100.000 compared to the 2022 edition, the event saw a significant surge in interest. Particularly noteworthy was the 26,8% increase in professional presences, with 65,8% coming from abroad.
Figures that confirm, yet again, the pivotal role played by the event in the internationalisation of the companies within the industry, the value of the relationship networks and also the catalytic force of an event that has exceeded the boundaries of the trade fair dimension, driven by the second phase of the redesign of the layout and visitor paths in some of the trade fair pavilions, with a special focus on EuroCucina / FTK, Technology For the Kitchen and International Bathroom Exhibition biennials in particular, two sectors strongly committed to experimenting new aesthetics and functions in highly technical projects increasingly geared to a sustainable approach.
The new widespread Cultural Programme, coordinated by the Editorial Director & Cultural Events Advisor, Annalisa Rosso, was a great public success. The three main installations of the edition included “Interiors by David Lynch. A Thinking Room,” a regeneration experience led by David Lynch; “Under the Surface” – signed by Accurat, Design Group Italia, and Emiliano Ponzi – which at the International Bathroom Exhibition highlighted the sector’s commitment to water saving, and “All You Have Ever Wanted to Know About Food Design in Six Performances,” a series of reflections on food as a subject of design in an experiential key.
