Salone del Mobile 2026 is the 64th edition of the renowned international furniture and design fair, scheduled to take place from April 21 to 26, 2026, at Fiera Milano in Rho, Italy. Organized by Salone del Mobile.Milano, this event continues to serve as a pivotal platform for showcasing cutting-edge design and innovation in the furniture industry.
A significant highlight of the 2026 edition is the introduction of "Salone Contract," a new initiative focusing on the contract furnishing sector. This project, led by architects Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten of OMA, aims to address the complexities of large-scale commissions in hospitality, workplace, retail, and infrastructure. The initiative will feature a thematic itinerary across the fair, a public lecture by Rem Koolhaas, and an international forum developed in collaboration with OMA, laying the groundwork for the first full Salone Contract exhibition in 2027.
Attendees can look forward to a comprehensive program that includes thematic pathways among exhibitors, highlighting production models and design skills pertinent to the contract sector. Additionally, the event will host a series of conversations exploring new paradigms in the rapidly evolving contract market, providing valuable insights and networking opportunities for industry professionals.
Salone del Mobile 2026 is an essential event for designers, architects, manufacturers, and industry stakeholders seeking to stay abreast of the latest trends and developments in the furniture and design sectors. The fair offers a unique opportunity to engage with leading experts, discover innovative products, and participate in discussions shaping the future of design.
