It has never been easy to define the Salone del Mobile di Milano. Born in 1961 as a furniture fair, also to promote exports, the Salone del Mobile has always been focused on the cultural aspects of the show. Already in 1965, a large exhibition space was dedicated to shows with no commercial end, just to spread the value of design. And, since the 1970s, companies have invested heavily in exhibition design, creating a culture of exhibition design as temporary architecture.
