Salone del Mobile Milano: Reach and relevance for Bavaria

Fresh out of Milan: Join Florian Schwarz and Tobias Wannieck for a visually powerful, entertaining design talk with inspiring impressions from the Salone del Mobile.

The Salone del Mobile Milano (April 21–26, 2026) is widely regarded as the world's most important platform for furniture and interior and spatial design. Every year it sets trends that extend far beyond Italy, shaping discourse in architecture, design, and brand experience.

What are the creative strategies that define the Salone and the Fuorisalone? What installations resonate with visitors, what brands make their mark—and what presentations make an exceptional showing that defies the trade fair context altogether?

Drawing on impressions and inspirations from Milan, the session's audience discussions explore the ideas and insights that matter most for the design community in Bavaria.


The event is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. As part of the application process, bayern design provided advisory support.
