This edition demonstrated, yet again, just how great a pole of attraction the Salone del Mobile is, increasingly global, inclusive and attuned not just to the creative and productive furnishing system, but also to the city of Milan and its institutions.

This Salone was also testament to the fact that the combination of business culture, brilliant Italian skills and the ability to work as a team is a recipe for excellence. The presence of high-ranking government and institutional figures was concrete proof of the Salone’s standing as one of the drivers of the Italian economy, thanks to the fruitful relationship between business, city and region that it manages to generate each year.
