Many brands, designers, and planners, as well as exhibits, performances and installations. After a year of inactivity, Fuorisalone 2021 returns live and in great shape: from September 4th until 10th, for the occasion of Milano Design Week and the Super Salone, the event sponsored by the Municipality of Milan will explore the most current subjects, such as circular design, environmental sustainability and well-being.

Discover the complete programme on the event website and our suggestions for the 5 must-see events – in as many locations to get to know – for a true insider’s tour!

1) Brera Design Week:

Among shows and installations, the streets Brera, the Design District most renowned and attentive to innovations, are reanimated by more than 80 points of interest, from showrooms to temporary locations. Don’t miss the eco-friendly installation of Franke in its flagship store at Via Pontaccio 18 called “Natural Capital”. The project created by CRA – Carlo Ratti Associati for Eni, recreates a three-dimensional view of the Orto Botanico (Botanical Gardens) of Brera at Via Fratelli Gabba 10.

2) Superstudio Group:

While the centre of Superstudio Più at Via Tortona 27 will contain all of the innovations and interconnections developed in the post-pandemic year, the spaces of Superstudio Maxi at Via Moncucco 35 will feature a large show-event to narrate Italian and international design: in the “Cult&Must” section, design and life-style icons triumph, while “Materials” gives space to environmentally sound and technologically advanced materials.
