Three Visionary Installations You Can’t Miss
Salone del Mobile isn’t just about seeing the latest furniture—it’s about experiencing the future. This year’s event will feature three stunning site-specific installations, each led by an iconic creator:
- Pierre-Yves Rochon – Villa Héritage (Pavilions 13-15): A reimagining of classical European elegance infused with contemporary innovation.
- Paolo Sorrentino – La Dolce Attesa (Pavilions 22-24): A cinematic journey that blends art, storytelling, and design.
- Robert Wilson – Mother (Museo Pietà Rondanini, Castello Sforzesco): A multisensory exploration of light, shadow, and human emotion.
Each installation will push the boundaries of design, technology, and artistic expression, proving why Salone del Mobile remains at the forefront of the global creative landscape.
A Cultural Program That Goes Beyond Design
Salone del Mobile is more than an exhibition—it’s a conversation about the future. The Drafting Futures Talks and Round Tables will bring together some of the brightest minds in contemporary design, exploring how technology, sustainability, and human-centered design are shaping tomorrow’s world.
Adding to this intellectual feast, the Thought for Humans campaign will remind us that design should always be about people. Emotional intelligence isn’t just for humans—it’s for furniture, architecture, and the way we shape our environments.
Milan: The Epicenter of Global Design in 2025
Milan has long been the design capital of the world, but Salone del Mobile 2025 will take that status to a whole new level. With its international partnerships spanning the US, China, and Saudi Arabia, the event is expanding its global influence while remaining deeply rooted in Italian craftsmanship.
Maria Porro, President of Salone del Mobile.Milano, sums it up best:
