Global design fair Salone del Mobile.Milano will once again unite over 700 designers, 23 international schools and universities and an international community of designers. Essential for industry professionals, it serves as a dynamic platform for creative collaboration and the debut of innovative design ideas. Don’t miss the below happenings at the fair.
Vispring marks 125 of luxury sleep at Salone with two exciting debuts: an exclusive collaboration with a renowned British designer, and a new Luxe Fabric Collection developed alongside celebrated fabric houses Dedar and Andrew Martin.
Tuuci heads to Salone with a fresh collection spanning parasols, furniture, pergolas, and cabanas — a full study in outdoor expression worth exploring. Find them at Booth C19 Hall 24.

Triennale di Milano sits at the center of Milan's design ecosystem, with a program that comprises architecture, art, and contemporary design. Located in Parco Sempione, it functions as both a museum and a cultural venue, hosting a steady rotation of exhibitions and talks that make it a consistent touchpoint during Milan Design Week.
Barber Osgerby brings a sweeping retrospective to Triennale, celebrating thirty years of design through their exhibition Alphabet. Curated by Marco Sammicheli, the show traces the British duo's iconic works and distinctive design language — with additional brand launches from the pair expected throughout the week.
Andrea Branzi by Toyo Ito. Continuous Present leads Triennale Milano's rich exhibition slate this year — a monographic exploration of Branzi's enduring influence on Italian design. Also on view: a retrospective of Lella and Massimo Vignelli's contributions to international design, plus the newly restored Piano Parco, home to three new spaces — Voce, Cucina, and Gioco.
Sanlorenzo Presents UN_Material
Sanlorenzo unveils UN_Material, a new installation by Piero Lissoni, at the Interni Materiae exhibition within the Università degli Studi di Milano. Inspired by the pioneering SHE yacht project — a merger of heritage and technology — the work marks the next chapter in Sanlorenzo's ongoing dialogue between design, architecture, and yachting, and hints at a broader evolution of how the brand expresses itself globally.
