Demand for Made in Italy furnishing is steadily mounting in China. Testament to the Chinese interest in Italian manufacturing, which has always been appreciated for its aesthetic and technological qualities, for its artisan tradition and for the firms’ ability to showcase goods at 360 degrees, more than 22,500 extremely high profile visitors attended the last edition of the Shanghai Salone, while over 34,000 professional visitors came to the Salone in Milan where China is the best represented foreign country.
Again, this year, the organisers of the Salone – FLA China and its Chinese partner VNU Exhibitions Asia – will devote the greatest possible attention to the quality of the visitors expected. In 2018, visitors flocked from China’s top-tier regions – Shanghai, Beijing and Guangdong – and from those experiencing rapid growth – such as Sichuan, Fujian, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi and Hubei – presenting exhibitors with concrete business opportunities and a singular platform for upping their visibility and success on the Chinese market, which is the largest and fastest-growing in the world.
The Salone del Mobile.Milano Shanghai is a three-day event, featuring luxury design and furnishing, enabling Chinese visitors to see the furnishing solutions divided into categories:
Design – functional, innovative and very good-looking products.
xLux – products that combine classical elegance with contemporary design.
Cultural opportunities for reflection and discussion will be offered by the Master Classes, consolidated by the Salone del Mobile.Milano, which again this year will be held by leading Italian architects and designers, who will share their thoughts and visions regarding the development of the sector in China and all over the world with the attendees.
Another space for reflection will be provided by SaloneSatellite Shanghai, making its return laden with expectation and featuring talented designers under 35, allowing young designers and students at Chinese universities and design schools a chance to showcase their projects. A jury of sectoral professionals will assign prizes for the top three projects as part of the SaloneSatellite Shanghai Award, and their designers will be invited to take part in the 2020 edition of SaloneSatellite in Milan.
