Scenes From Salone del Mobile, Milano
Every spring, Milan plays host to one of the world’s largest furniture fairs. Equal parts convention and party, the fair (called the Salone del Mobile) brings over 300,000 visitors to the city to wander, look, buy and party. Most of the official business is housed at the large convention center just outside the city center, where companies like Knoll build giant display booths to show their wares. Seeing all that world class design in one place is definitely worth the price of admission, but the real fun happens at the various installations tucked away inside courtyards and shops downtown. Below is taste of what there was to see at 2013’s Salone.
