The 63rd edition of Salone del Mobile 2025 runs April 8–13 at Fiera Milano in Rho. More than 2,000 exhibitors (38% international) and 148 brands—from established names to exciting newcomers—will occupy 169,000 square metres of exhibition space. The highlight: over 32,000 square metres dedicated to the much-anticipated return of Euroluce Biennale, featuring more than 300 brands from 25 countries and building on the momentum of 2023's celebrated "City of Lights." Add to that SaloneSatellite, showcasing 700 designers under 35 alongside 20 international design schools and universities.

The cultural program features site-specific installations across the Salone and throughout Milan: Pierre-Yves Rochon's Villa Héritage (Halls 13–15), Paolo Sorrentino's La dolce attesa (Halls 22–24), and Robert Wilson's Mother (Museo Pietà Rondanini – Castello Sforzesco). A multidisciplinary exploration of lighting design takes center stage at the inaugural Euroluce International Lighting Forum (April 10–11), set within The Forest of Space Arena by Sou Fujimoto in Hall 2. The program brings together leading voices through Drafting Futures Talks and Round Tables, and concludes with Thought for Humans—a campaign that calls us back to a fundamental truth: every design project must serve human needs through emotional intelligence.

Building on the triumph of the "City of Light" in 2023, the return of Euroluce comes with considerable momentum: over 300 exhibitors, nearly half from international markets, are gathering for what promises to be the definitive global platform for lighting design. The biennial showcases cutting-edge exhibition content—from sustainable innovation and intelligent systems to AI integration, biophilic design, and user-centered controls. New this year is the inaugural Euroluce International Lighting Forum (April 10–11, Pavilion 2), a two-day immersion featuring masterclasses, roundtable discussions, and workshops. Under the banner "Light for Life. Light for Spaces," more than 20 internationally renowned speakers—lighting designers, architects, artists, set designers, scientists, biologists, anthropologists, astronomers, and psychologists—share their visions, research, and design practices. Through this multidisciplinary lens, the Forum deepens our understanding of lighting's future. The setting is equally compelling: the Forest of Space Arena, an exceptional venue designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, known for the metallic cloud installation at London's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion (2013) and the Arbre Blanc residential tower—a study in purist elegance. As part of Milan Design Week, Salone del Mobile once again positions itself as a cultural anchor, presenting a robust international program.
