Alongside the fair, Milan Design Week 2026 will take place from April 19–26, transforming the entire city into a vast stage for design. The off-site events—known as Fuorisalone—include over 1,000 exhibitions, installations, and cultural initiatives spread across various neighborhoods such as Brera, Isola, and 5VIE.
This year’s edition will feature a diverse range of highlights—from experimental installations and artistic collaborations to new product launches. Among them are innovative projects such as multifunctional furniture, sustainable materials, and concepts that reimagine the contemporary lifestyle.
The theme of Salone del Mobile 2026 focuses on “matter” as a source of inspiration and transformation in design, highlighting the connection between material, idea, and cultural significance.
