The Salone del Mobile and the Fuorisalone have always played a very important economic and social role for Milan, which soon led it to become the world capital of design. A successful formula that attracts more and more visitors from all over the world every year, giving the city the most stimulating week of the year. It is therefore clear how important the absence of the Show this year has been for companies and the whole city. Now Milan is back with Milano Design City: from 28 September to 10 October events, exhibitions and meetings are scheduled in showrooms and other design venues all over the city.
Milano Design City proposes itself as an event dedicated to the culture of design and innovation, with particular attention to the redesign of urban spaces, sustainability and the circular economy. The aim is to restart the Design Italia System, which is once again open to the public while complying with all health safety regulations.
The star of Milano Design City will be Fuorisalone.it with its Fuorisalone Design City Edition, in continuity with the first edition of Fuorisalone Digital launched on 15 June.

A complete programme of events is available on Fuorisalone.it, with dates, times, map and access to each event. The organiser of each individual event will in fact establish the access methods, to guarantee the safety of the participants. Some events will be accessible by invitation only, others will be free, open to the public with regulated access or after registration.
