Salone del mobile
Salone del Mobile. With 1,496 exhibitors, 317 of whom will be coming from abroad, the Salone Internazionale del Mobile (48th edition) and the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition (23rd edition) will be occupying the same exhibition space, showcasing 360° domestic furnishing both in terms of typologies – from stand-alone pieces to coordinates – and styles – from classical to modern – not to mention the arbiters of tomorrow’s trends. Along with the assortment of commercial goods, Cosmit will – as always – be sponsoring a cultural project, in partnership with the Municipality of Milan, which for the third year running has offered us its prestigious headquarters at the Palazzo Reale as a venue for a major exhibition, “Magnificence and Style – Five Hundred Years Great Italian Furniture Side by Side”, which will run from 22nd April to 21st June. Conceived by Cristina Acidini and Luigi Settembrini, it will be devoted to the rediscovery of the origins of Made in Italy with a panoply of modern and antique furnishings, each with their own special pedigree. Light in all its infinite and spectacular variations will be the protagonists of the installation in the Milan Triennale garden by the British artist Cerith Wyn Evans: I=N=V=O=C=A=T=I=O=N (I call your image to mind), a luminescent cloud made up of long neon tubes that twist and turn on themselves. From April 22. http://www.cosmit.com
