Salone del Mobile\u00a02021<\/strong> is dubbed \u2018Supersalone\u2019<\/strong>: an event \u2018led by innovation and uniqueness<\/em>\u2019, curated by Boeri in collaboration with a team of internationally acclaimed architects and design professionals. Boeri worked closely with designers Andrea Caputo,\u00a0Lukas Wegwerth and Giorgio Don\u00e0, curators Maria Cistina Didero and Anniina Koivu and graphic designer duo Marco Ferrari and Elisa Pasqual of Studio Folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2018A visit to the annual Salone is an exhilarating dose of energy and new ideas:\u00a0we are all longing to accelerate, produce, review, enjoy\u2019 <\/p>\nAnniina Koivu\u00a0<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Supersalone<\/strong> will be presented as a thematical and scenographic display\u00a0where companies will be able to present their best work from the past 18 months: a unique and special moment to discover today\u2019s design panorama. Designed by Caputo and engineered by Wegwert with special attention to sustainability and recycling of the structure, the exhibition will be staged as a \u2018library of design\u2019 featuring a specially-designed flexible and modular wall system to offer different display opportunities to brands.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lounge area, designed by Don\u00e0, will allow visitors to interact with design icons past and present, and access a series of food offerings specially curated for the fair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important new development for the fair is the newly introduced possibility for the public to\u00a0purchase some of the brands\u2019 creations. \u2018High-quality design products will be displayed and available at one-off prices, responding to the desire currently being expressed by thousands of families and companies to rethink our domestic and workspaces,\u2019<\/em> said Boeri.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigating Supersalone<\/strong>: Practical Info<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Salone<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since 2005,\u00a0Supersalone<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0takes place in the Fuksas-designed Rho fairground, about 15\u00a0kilometres from Milan. Its 753.000 square meters make it the largest fairground n Europe, and its design is defined by the airy structure connecting the pavilions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Get To Supersalone<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Salone<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We recommend reaching\u00a0Supersalone<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0by public transport to avoid the traffic on arrival and departure. M1 (the red metro line) connects the Rho-Fieramilano station with several locations across the city (including Porta Venezia and Duomo). The journey takes about 25 minutes and you\u2019re bound to meet other design enthusiasts on board for dynamic conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supersalone<\/strong> 2021 \u2013 Tickets and Access<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The fair is open to architects, press design buyers and other professionals. Visitors can register in advance through the\u00a0Salone del Mobile\u00a0for an e-ticket. On Friday 10 September, the fair will also be accessible by\u00a0the general public, with tickets on sale through the\u00a0Supersalone<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly the most picturesque neighbourhood of Milan, its cobbled streets include small galleries and some of the best showrooms in the city. Start on Via Solferino for furniture showrooms<\/a><\/strong> by the likes of Boffi and\u00a0Salvatori, and the design gallery of Dimorestudio<\/strong>. Popular venues in the area include La Pelota on Via Palermo (formerly the backdrop to immersive displays by Vitra,\u00a0Herm\u00e8s\u00a0and Hay) and\u00a0Mediateca Santa Teresa on Moscova.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milan Design Week<\/em><\/strong> is a great opportunity\u00a0for a full immersion into the best Italian furniture showrooms<\/strong> (many of which are practically located in a small area within the city centre). Head to via Durini to discover Cassina, B&B Italia<\/strong>, Porro, Technogym, Giorgetti, Gallotti & Radice and Natuzzi, then hop onto nearby\u00a0Corso Monforte to discover Flos, Artemide, Danese, Nemo, De Padova and Living Divani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve had your fix of Italian furniture<\/strong>, head to nearby Villa Necchi for a taste of old Milan, or venture into Triangolo della Moda (the city\u2019s fashion district), where you\u2019ll also find Molteni & C (Corso Europa) as well as Poltrona Frau\u2019s showroom<\/strong> in a frescoed building (Via Manzoni). Don\u2019t miss the design destination\u00a0Nilufar<\/strong>, Nina Yashar\u2019s\u00a0gallery presenting the most exciting names in collectable design (from the classics, like Gio Ponti and BBPR to Martino Gamper and India Mahdavi<\/strong>).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zona Tortona<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Salone<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the epicentre of Fuorisalone<\/strong>, Zona Tortona fell out of favour for a while, only to be resurrected in recent years by a few exciting exhibitions by the likes of\u00a0Nendo, Sony and Moooi<\/strong>.\u00a0The main avenues here are the intersecting Via Tortona and Via Stendhal, whose large, warehouse-like spaces are particularly suited for the large-scale installations typical of Milan Design Week<\/em><\/strong>. Key locations in the area include Superstudio Pi\u00f9, the original Tortona venue regularly hosting an array of multidisciplinary displays (most recently transformed by Giulio Cappellini through immersive site-specific installations during Fuorisalone), and design studios including Stefano Giovannoni, who often lends his space to design exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Vie<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One of the most recent additions to the Fuorisalone design\u00a0map, 5Vie is a\u00a0historical district west of Duomo. While spaces to discover in the area include BDDW (Via Santa Marta 19\/A), Palazzo Gorani (Via Gorani\u00a04, pictured above) and Apparatus (Via Santa Marta 14),\u00a0the charming nature of the district can be explored through temporary events and installations held within small apartments and behind imposing gates. Grab a guide, or\u00a0let your intuition lead you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nilufar<\/a>
Nilufar Depot.\u00a0Photography: Amendolagine Barracchia<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Milanese design galleries<\/strong> have helped establish the city\u2019s design and cultural panorama, with a successful mix of old and new designs often placed in conversation within their spaces. The design galleries in Milan<\/strong> come alive during Fuorisalone with specially commissioned projects, objects and installations not to be missed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with design destination Nilufar (Via della Spiga, 32), Nina Yashar\u2019s gallery presenting the most exciting names in collectable design (from the classics, like Gio Ponti and BBPR to Martino Gamper and India Mahdavi). The gallery\u2019s second outpost,\u00a0Nilufar Depot, opened in 2015\u00a0in an industrial space just outside of the city\u2019s centre (Via Lancetti 34) that used to hold Yashar\u2019s archives and has now been transformed into an exciting exhibition space.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rossana Orlandi\u2019s gallery<\/strong> (Via Matteo Bandello, 14) is a life-sized cabinet of curiosities that will offer a sense of discovery to any design journey, with a mix of emerging talent and independent brands showcased across its spaces. Galleria Luisa Delle Piane (Via Giuseppe Giusti, 24) presents imaginative furniture and objects by the likes of Andrea Branzi, Maddalena Casadei and Franco Albini e Franca Helg.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other spaces to look out for include the official outpost of Memphis Milano, Post Design Gallery (Largo Treves, 5) offers historical designs as well as future explorations, and Brera gallery Dilmos, whose space is located inside a Vico Magistretti-designed building (Via San Marco, 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcova<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Curators Joseph Grima and Valentina Ciuffi launched the group show Alcova in 2019. Every year, since the project, has taken\u00a0over a dilapidated building somewhere in Milan, and with very little intervention the pair staged\u00a0an exhibition that takes people out of their comfort zone and into unexpected (Milanese) territories. The 2021 edition of Alcova is going to take place just west of Milan\u2019s centre (via Simone Saint Bon), in a cluster of buildings immersed into an urban park including a nunnery (pictured above) and\u00a0an industrial laundry. The raw spaces serving as a backdrop to the exhibitions allow visitors to discover the design with\u00a0a novel approach, and the exhibitions feature an array of independent talent, not to be missed. Confirmed 2021 exhibitors of Alcova include India Mahdavi<\/strong> with HEAD Gen\u00e8ve, Lindsey Adelman, Objects of Common Interest as well as Laila Gohar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art, Architecture and Design Sightseeing During Milan Design Week 2021<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of design in Milan is that it\u2019s often combined\u00a0with art, architecture and Milanese cultural institutions. Some of the most important cultural locations in the city are, more often than not, part of Fuorisalone\u2019s programming, including the\u00a0Triennale\u00a0(Viale Emilio Alemagna, 6) with its recently inaugurated design museum, the newly-opened ADI Design Museum (Piazza Compasso d\u2019Oro, 1, a new location celebrating the history of the Compasso D\u2019Oro design prize),\u00a0Bagni Misteriosi (Via Carlo Botta, 18, a rationalist swimming pool with an exhibition space and theatre nearby) and\u00a0Porta Nuova\u00a0(an example of urban transformation that combines contemporary architecture and green spaces).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the art venues (whose exhibition programme usually ties in with the design crowd descending to Milan) are Pirelli Hangar Bicocca (Via Chiese, 2), whose exhibition on Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan is scheduled to open on 15 July 2021 and Fondazione Prada (Largo Isacco 2), with its ever-growing\u00a0OMA-designed complex.\u00a0Assab One, an exhibition space led by Elena Quarestani (Via Privata Assab), is a former industrial space just north of Milan\u2019s Stazione Centrale, whose exhibitions include art, design and architecture in conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
