Salone del Mobile


Last week we headed to the most prominent furniture show in the world. Salone del Mobile a.k.a Milan's furniture fair. I had never been to a furniture fair before and going to the world's largest for the first time was a bit overwhelming. There were about 20 large building centers, housing every kind of furniture, for ever room imaginable. This is not your ma and pa ol' wooden rocking chair kinda fair either. Some of the most innovative furniture, industrial and interior designers show cased their newest work. Also It wasn't just a bunch of tables and chairs everywhere, each designer created a whole little world you could walk into and experience. Only a few hours went by and by the end we were both exhausted. Not only was it a furniture show case, but being able to check out the famous Rho-Pero fairgrounds designed by Gio Ponti was also a sight to be seen.
