Creative collection7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Opened in 2021, it hosts every project in the history of the Compasso d’Oro Award, an industrial design prize originated in Italy in 1954 that still exists today. Look for eco-sustainable Brazilian furniture design house Etel, product-focused Il Vicolo, and Galleria Paola Colombari, which specializes in 20th century design.īefore you move on, walk over to nearby Chinatown and pop by the ADI Design Museum, one of the largest museums in Europe dedicated to design. Here, meander in and out of venues like Galleria Consadori and iconic shops like Ginori 1735-a master of Italian-made porcelain-then walk a little further north to via Pietro Maroncelli, where a collective of galleries and design-focused boutiques hides behind old buildings and inside classic Milanese courtyards. The atmosphere is buzzier, the energy more optimistic, the neighborhoods more alive than ever. Milan quite literally opens its doors during Salone, and the vibe shift that comes with that is palpable anywhere you go. Hundreds of installations and temporary exhibitions take over galleries, showrooms, and retail spaces across the city, but also abandoned factories, academic institutions, hidden courtyards and private palazzi you wouldn’t usually be able to step into. While the main trade show, held at the Rho Fiera exhibition center, is mostly an industry-only affair, the city-wide festival known as Fuorisalone (literally, “outside of design week”) is open to the public, and very much a reason to plan a visit. For seven days in April, design brands and studios from around the globe flock to the northern Italian city to debut their latest products and furnishing collections, transforming Milan into a playground for creativity and presentations that showcase the best and brightest in the sector. Every year (with the exception of 2020) Milan puts on the largest design event in the world: Salone del Mobile, also known as Milan Design Week.
