Milan's Salone del Mobile, the largest and most important furniture fair and design event in the world, took place last month from the 16th to the 21st
of April. As always, it offered a wide variety of new products, ideas and installations. This year was a particularly good one, and to mention all we saw would fill a book, so we decided to limit ourselves and share a few highlights from the show. Enjoy!
