Fuorisalone Digital Returns for Second Edition with Online Program
On April 12, 2021, the second edition of Fuorisalone Digital was introduced during Milano Design City, showcasing product previews, webinars, virtual events, and roundtable discussions. This digital event leads up to the in-person Fuorisalone scheduled for September 4–10, 2021. Paolo Casati, the director, is committed to preserving Milan's status as a design capital. The 2021 focus is on “Forme dell’Abitare” (Forms of Living), exploring urban transformations and housing needs. The initiative features Fuorisalone TV and a year-round Design Guide by Alessandro Mitola. International engagement is growing, particularly in China and Japan, with events planned for Tokyo and Osaka in 2022. Notable discussions will include contributions from Strategy Innovation, Salotto di Milano, Phyd, Uptown Milano, and Masanori Umeda's Memphis collection “Night Tales.” Additionally, the Worth Partnership Project will reveal 64 winners among 147 partners from 30 European nations. Claudio Luti, president of Salone del Mobile, expressed optimism regarding government support for recovery.
