Since its inception in 1998 as part of Salone del Mobile.Milano, SaloneSatellite has supported emerging designers, especially those under 35, and connected them with the production world. SaloneSatellite has its permanent collection at the Artwood Academy – Polo Formativo del Legno Arredo Fondazione ITS Rosario Messina in Lentate sul Seveso, Brianza. As many as 330 projects were featured in the catalogues of major Italian and international corporations, and some have even become signature icons of contemporary design.

This exhibition will showcase 95 pieces of award-winning design products, maps the themes and creativity that have characterised and shaped design from the turn of the 21st century to the present day.

"The exhibition profiles the new generations to whom the baton of the 20th century 'masters' has been passed down, now entrusted with the key task of leading the society to envision a different future. Their creations mark out the trajectory of the evolution of contemporary design, as well as their aesthetic and projectile contribution to the history of design," says Marva Griffin Wilshire, Founder and Curator of SaloneSatellite.

About Salone del Mobile.Milano

The Salone del Mobile.Milano has been an international benchmark for the design and furnishing world since 1961, thanks to the extraordinarily high quality of the products on exhibit.

It takes place in April and alongside the 4 main exhibitions, numerous side events, meetings, and presentations take place simultaneously, offering a complete view of the present and future of furnishings and design. These have been accompanied by SaloneSatellite since 1998, a launchpad for young designers under 35 from all over the world – so far more than 14,000 of them have passed through its doors –and a point of reference for companies on the look-out for new talents.

Each year over 2,000 exhibitors and more than 300,000 visitors from over 160 countries attend, along with 5,000+ accredited journalists pay homage to visiting Salone del Mobile Milano. http://www.salonemilano.it
