MILAN 2019: Recommended Events and Ideal Program

Milan 2019 includes the Salone del Mobile and FuoriSalone, events that open their doors today. Stimulating the spirits and arousing the excitement of the entire arch-design community. Like every year, there is no good or bad way to live Milan's design week, the press and the big passions will have a definite program, when some will prefer to get lost in the streets and discover events randomly...

For those in between, however, we have spotted several events that we think are interesting or even crucial to see and drop by. Discover our ideal program composed of 20 events and more...

The Milan 2019 programme in detail

Alcova & Alcova Sassetti

Alcova is a new platform promoting independent design and developed by Space caviar and Studio Vedèt. Currently operating as a network of exhibition spaces at several locations in Milan and the surrounding area, Alcova is putting forgotten places of historical significance back onto the scene and temporarily reconfiguring them as exhibition venues. During the design week in Milan, two sites will be open to visitors: Alcova and Alcova Sassetti, with about sixty designers on display. Above, Supaform.
