Milan’s Salone Internazionale del Mobile event is considered by many to be the most important international design event of the year. Why? – the answer is in my article published in the latest issue of PLiNTH & CHiNTZ.
I have many posts here about what is coming in the 2009 Milan Furniture Fair this month. The [...]

I have published already a lot of previews of the much expected Milan Furniture Fair that will open next month. And many new are coming every day, especially on the site of designboom.

So I set about finding some of the most poignant and [...]
