Amidst the growing number of Coronavirus cases in Italy, leadership for Salone del Mobile.Milano has announced that it will postpone the world’s largest furniture fair until summer 2020. Previously scheduled to begin April 21 at Rho Fiera Milano, this year’s iteration will now begin on June 16.
Salone del Mobile issued the following statement:
“Following an extraordinary meeting today of the Board of Federlegno Arredo Eventi, and in view of the ongoing public health emergency, the decision has been taken to postpone the upcoming edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milan to June 16–21.
Confirmation of the change of date for the trade fair—strongly supported by the Mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala—means that the manufacturers, in a major show of responsibility, will be able to present their finalized work to an international public that sees the annual appointment with the Salone del Mobile.Milano as a benchmark for creativity and design.”
