From the 16^th to 21^st April, Salone del Mobile, will take over Milan. Similar to Maison&Objet, the event doesn't start and stop at Rho Fiera's doors, with the Design Week bringing extra life to Brera, the city's most stylist neighbourhood. This year's edition will comprise the Salone Internazionale del Mobile itself, the biannual EuroCucina and FTK (Technology For the Kitchen), the International Bathroom Exhibition, International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition, Workplace 3.0 and S. Project.

The show has been a global design haven for more than 60 years, and with over 1,300 exhibitors hitting the floor of Rho Fiera this year and more than 260 events scheduled, it is set to once again live up to expectations. This year also features a new cultural programme for a 360° artistic experience. If you're planning to visit, six days won't be enough to take it all in, and deciding which events or stands to prioritise will turn into a Cornelian dilemma. Here are some key rendez-vous that Journal des Palaces is looking forward to.

And as we wander through the Milanese streets, we'll find a moment to visit the Salone Design Kiosk, designed by DWA Design Studio. Installed since 8^th of April on the Piazza della Scala, it's an invitation to discover design through selected publications and literature. And to reset before the next event!
