introduction | where we are?Design week = salone del mobile

The Salone Internazionale del Mobile is the International Furniture Fair of Milan, the largest decoration trade fair in the world.

The annual show showcases the latest in furniture and design from international sources.

It is considered by interior designers as a leading exposition for the display of new products by furniture manufacturers, designers, lighting concepts, and other design items.



The show is commonly abbreviated as “Salone”, “Milano Salone”, and also “Milan Design Week”. It is held every year, usually in April, in the FieraMilano complex in the Milan metropolitan area town of Rho.





The Salone Internazionale del Mobile di Milano was launched in 1961, with the original focus being Italian furniture.

The trade show grew in size over the years, allowing many of the 13,000 companies which comprised the global furniture industry to showcase their wares in a single event.



The current show occupies an area of nearly 230,000 square metres (2,500,000 sq ft), in a famous building designed by Massimiliano Fuksas;

and includes 2,500 companies, along with 700 young designers at the Salone Satellite, a secondary exhibit.

The show’s annual visitation numbers 270,000, with attendees from over 150 countries worldwide



Exhibition: every brand of interior design from all over the world wants a space to exhibit products in this place: light design, furniture design, experimental design....

In this place the design companies shows products but most of all the new and innovative ideas and directions setting up spaces with particular characteristics to attract visitors.

But what are we doing?

But in fact, we’ll be not that much focused on the BRAND products.

We will think and design a complete and complex exhibition experience;

we will design a story for an exhibition.



we will design a story for an exhibition:we will create a new temporary story / mood for IRIS which will be shown with:

1) a phisical spacewe will work on an exhistent showroom in Milan, and on a temporary setting-up of a place n the city (like an extension of the showroom itself on a city temporary location)




2) the interaction dynamics of the shopping experience




3) the communication of the whole experience

1) an architect, a designer, an ingeneer which can receive and perceive techincal and specific informations



Our final aim is CATHCING the attention of the SALONE DEL MOBILE visitor, which can be described with 2 main type of characters:

2) the basic visitor of salone del mobile (students, curios people, not designers...) who wants just to be fascinated



It will be very important to be focused on the 2 different levels of access, and to solve the problem of making them go together.
