Salone del Mobile.Milano

The Salone Internazionale del Mobile is a hub of experimentation and cross-pollination, a place for interface and fresh opportunities for reflection on the world of design and planning.

Each year, the Salone del Mobile brings its “good looking” and “well made” products back onto an internationally important stage, whilst also being proof of how the evolution of the trade fair process can be accelerated. The event has always been a testament to an extraordinary curiosity, willingness, and openness to discussion and to a tremendous ability to progress, innovating consolidated formulas. Over the last few difficult years, the Salone has initiated a concrete revision of its exhibition format, geared to continuing to generate value for the entire design community.

This positive and constructive energy has fuelled a major new departure for this edition: a single exhibition level, with the exhibitors from the upper pavilions (8-12, 16-20) moving into the lower ones, thus simplifying, improving and enhancing accessibility and the visitor experience. Other main focuses will be the quality of the proposals and content, the cultural dimension, and the professional enrichment of the event. Furthermore, following a careful analysis of its professional audience, this year Salone has taken not just aesthetic affinity into account when positioning the brands, but also their targets and interlocutors, in order to optimize and expand meetings between visitors and exhibitors.

The hundreds of exhibitors and the thousands of products on show are confirmation of the immense importance of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile as an international platform for creativity and an unmissable forum for industry professionals – averaging more than 370,000 attendees from 188 different countries every year.

BIO – Biennial of Design Ljubljana

 

BIO – The Biennial of Design in Ljubljana is organized by the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO), and is an international platform for new approaches in design. BIO was founded in 1963, making it the first design biennial in Europe. Witnessing the many shifts and changes of the last 56 years, BIO has seen design transition from its birth at the crossroads of industrialization and modernism to a discipline that permeates all layers of life and human endeavor. Today, BIO is structured as a long-term collaborative process, where teams of designers and multidisciplinary agents develop alternatives to established systems. BIO works as a testing ground, where design is employed as a tool to question and improve our daily life, among different and multidisciplinary design approaches that touch systems, production, services, scientific research, humanistic issues, and unexpected conditions for the production of our habitat. The diverse array of topics resonates with both local and global demands, with comprehensive projects aimed at creating resilient structures that develop over time, beyond the duration of the Biennial.

Manifesta, the European Nomadic Biennial, changes location every two years. Founded in the early 1990s, Manifesta rethinks the relationship between culture and civic society, investigating and instigating positive social change through contemporary culture in response to, and in close dialogue with, the social sphere of the Host City and its communities.

Each edition of Manifesta is managed by a mix of permanent international team members and local specialists. Manifesta works from its offices in Amsterdam and the Host City.

Manifesta 15 Barcelona

In 2024, Manifesta, the European Nomadic Biennial, will come to Barcelona and its larger Metropolitan region in Catalonia for its 15th edition.

Manifesta 15 in Barcelona has been invited to explore pressing public debates, based around the topics of the democratization of public life; the defense of public space in the face of privatization; the need to combine social progress with environmental challenges; fragility in terms of housing, the movement of people, capital, data, and economic as well as ecological crises.
