The International Furniture Fair is the most important event in the field of furniture and design worldwide and it is now at its 54th edition. Born in 1961 as a local fair that gathered craft enterprises and wood furniture manufacturers, today the Milan Furniture Fair creates numerous related events, both in the exhibition center and in the city of Milan. The most important are the Fuorisalone and the biennial Euroluce.

The Salone del Mobile (Milan Furniture Fair) will be held at Fiera Milano in Rho from April 14th to April 19th 2015. 2,000 exhibitors, 200,000 square meters, more than 300,000 visitors expected from 160 countries: these are some of the numbers of the most important and international event in the field, which this year, in addition to the annual Salone del Mobile, the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition and the SaloneSatellite, will feature the biennial shows Euroluce and Workplace3.0/SaloneUfficio.
