Milan Design Week: the incredible Fuorisalone – How did Fuorisalone come about?

Fuorisalone is, therefore, a set of events distributed in different areas of Milan and is not intended to be a fair event like its “brother”, Salone del Mobile. Furthermore, it has no central organization and is not managed by a single institutional body. In fact, he ‘was born’ spontaneously in the early 1980s and arose from the desire of companies operating in the furniture and industrial design sector so that they could showcase their creations.

Nowadays, the event expands to many sectors and includes sectors such as automotive, technology, telecommunications, art, fashion and, also, the food sector. One of the companies that supports Fuorisalone is Studiolabo, which helps interested parties find space and define strategies for presenting their news. Over the years, the event has won important names for sponsoring such as Hyundai, Corriere della Sera, Milan City Hall, among other important names.

Milan Design Week: the incredible Fuorisalone – How did COVID19 change Fuorisalone’s plans?

We know that 2020 was an atypical year: events were postponed, others canceled and so many others found the solution to be held online. With all the modernity it offers, it is evident that Fuorisalone 2020 would present itself in a surprising way: on June 15, 2020, the event reinvented itself and presented its first fully digital version! It worked, by the way: VERY WELL! In addition to presenting its traditional content aimed at market news, two new instruments emerged that pleased the audience: Fuorisalone TV and Fuorisalone Meets; for the first time in history, the event left the Lombard lands and ended up in eastern lands with the launch of two new channels: Fuorisalone China and Fuorisalone Japan. The event, which has also been taking place in the autumn for 4 years, won – again – another opportunity to perform online and, this time, it will mix digital and physical, and will take place between September 28 and October 10, 2020.

Milan Design Week: the incredible Fuorisalone – Important to Know

Milan Design Week: the incredible Fuorisalone – In-person Events

Well, let’s go to in-person events – remembering that all of them will also be available online. There will be 2 weeks of events in some showrooms and other locations in Milan. On the map below you can get a better view of how the event is ‘democratic’ and spreads throughout the city center. They hold events in strategic locations precisely to facilitate the movement of those in Milan.

As we said earlier, COVID19 changed a lot of schedules, including very traditional events, however, it “forced” people to rethink their way of communicating – especially on digital channels – and who better to do it with mastery than an event specialized in innovation ? The events will include lectures, workshops, talks, exhibitions to disseminate culture, new projects and much more. The events will be held in showrooms, museums and art galleries, and in some specially assembled spaces.

For those in Milan…

Traditional access to events may change, but it is important to know that some events are only for guests, such as the press, and are not open to the public; others – open to the public and even free – can request to apply online. Therefore, each organizer will define how the events will be accessed (if only by invitation, if paying, etc.). The objective is, always, to guarantee the safety of the visitor and, therefore, each organizer has the freedom to do what they think it is best.

For those who cannot be in Milan and want to participate…

The entire event will be broadcast on the official Fuorisalone website! When available, in addition to the times, the official page of each event will be informed where insights, photos, downloadable attachments, videos, company and designer contacts and much more will be displayed! In some cases it will also be possible to visit the showroom virtually through an interactive 3D navigation: SUPER ORGANIZED! Remembering that some lectures and chats will also be available live on TV Fuorisalone.

Tips

Follow the event’s social media! They always update it and it can help your schedule, even if online!
Another thing: there is material available only online, such as that released Fuorisalone TV – the content is updated daily. It is worth it!

Hotels I suggest in the Historic Center Area

Another region to consider is the Historic Center of Milan, a tangle of charming streets. The so-called “fashion quadrilaterale”, the ideal place to shop in Milan, with its famous streets: Montenapoleone, Manzoni, Via della Spiga and Corso Venezia (and the Saint Spirit, Gesù and Borgospesso).

Hotels that I suggest in the Region of Brera

The Brera neighborhood is famous for its high fashion boutiques, exclusive art galleries and trendy bars – it is north of Piazza Duomo. The characteristic streets are inviting for a stroll without a destination. The main attraction is the Pinacoteca di Brera, where priceless works of art are exhibited – among them, the masterpieces of Raffaello and Mantegna. It is in the southeastern region of Brera that the “fashion quadrilaterale” is located. The region is frequented by VIPs and socialites who spend horrors in the boutiques of brands like Armani, Valentino and Versace, on the outskirts of the elegant “Montenapo” (as the Milanese affectionately call Montenapoleone Street)
