Starting from 2019, HOMI Milano will be made up of three shows. HOMI, the Lifestyle Trade Fair, will be held annually, in January; the range of products for the home will be completed by HOMI Outdoor, dedicated to outdoor living, which will be held in September.
HOMI Jewels & Fashion, the exhibition dedicated to jewels and accessories, will be held every six months during the Milan Fashion Week.
This differentiation has been required by the market, where stores are increasingly specialized and customers are very selective and well-informed. Exactly to meet these needs, HOMI becomes a highly specialized platform, able to offer added value to the several ever-growing sectors on the global market.
HOMI Outdoor
The new exhibition dedicated to outdoor environments, held every year in September, will offer an opportunity to discover the most innovative solutions dedicated to all outdoor spaces – balconies, terraces, gardens – and the latest trends in decoration.

In particular, the Creazioni area has been confirmed, reaffirming the popularity already experienced during the previous editions of HOMI, thanks to the increase in product types included within the format of HOMI Outdoor.
The Outdoor Trends
Gli arredi per esterni stanno sempre più avvicinandosi all’arredo per gli interni, con materiali che durano nel tempo, di forme e colori sempre più ricercati. Materiali naturali, come paglia o rattan, sono sempre più utilizzati per gli arredi, affiancando piatti e bicchieri ricavati dalla pietra, o da resine che durano nel tempo. Una ricerca di qualità e un ritorno alla natura al tempo stesso.
HOMI Outdoor is addressed to professional operators and offers solutions for any space: from every room of the house, to the balcony, the terrace and the garden. An open and versatile project that enhances all the latest trends in decoration, furnishing accessories and gifts, both inside and outside the home.
