The Salone del Mobile 2025, the 63rd edition of the Milanese event, held at Rho Fiera alongside the Euroluce Biennial, featured 2,103 exhibitors from 37 countries and concluded with 302,548 visitors. The ranking by country of origin confirms China in the top position; following Germany in second place, there has been significant growth from two of the most high-performing export markets in 2024 for the furniture macro-system: Spain and Poland. They are followed by Brazil, Russia, France, the United States, India, and Switzerland.
Looking ahead to Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026, scheduled from April 21 to 26 next year, alongside the International Bathroom Exhibition, THE PLAN has selected the best innovations presented at the recently concluded edition.
Alpi showcased new creations born from collaborations with Piero Lissoni, nendo, and Estúdio Campana, along with a new color variant of the historic collection designed by Ettore Sottsass — Alpi Sottsass Pink, where a pink base accentuates blue veins, creating a fantastic and surreal visual effect.
Estúdio Campana presented Alpi Agreste, inspired by the arid landscapes of Brazil's Caatinga region, the homeland of designer Humberto Campana. Available in Ouro and Prata versions, the Alpi Agreste collection celebrates the philosophy of upcycling by recovering and reinterpreting materials destined for production waste.
From the first collaboration with Japanese studio nendo come Alpi Kasumi, available in Grey and Blue, and Alpi Futae, in White and Grey. Both collections reflect the simplicity and minimalism of Japanese design. Piero Lissoni designed two new collections: Alpi String, available in Khaki and Blue, and Alpi Warp, in Burgundy and Frosty Grey. Both are inspired by the graphic marks of childhood drawn on lined and squared paper, translating these gestures into sophisticated patterns.
Additionally, from this year, the Alpi Lignum collection is available with IMO-MED certification, in compliance with the European Union directive concerning the conformity of maritime equipment in terms of naval safety. The collection is also FSC® 100% certified (FSC-C004666) and has achieved a fire behavior classification of Bs1d0.
At the heart of Atlas Concorde's offering is One Space – The Atlas Concorde Ceramic Ecosystem, a new concept embodying the brand's vision that surfaces are not conceived based on individual products but are designed to integrate into an environment as a whole. This vision is expanded by Tratto – The Signature Objects by Piero Lissoni, a project composed of objects designed for various environments, from bathrooms to outdoor spaces, exploring the expressive potential of porcelain stoneware, combined with materials like glass, wood, and metal to generate a refined interplay of textures, colors, and reflections.
At Salone del Mobile, Atlas Concorde set up a Concept Home where One Space comes to life, demonstrating how ceramic surfaces, furnishings, and design objects can coexist within a single aesthetic and functional vision. In addition to ceramic surfaces and large slabs by Atlas Concorde for floors and walls, the Concept Home includes large Atlas Plan slabs used for furniture elements like the kitchen counter, backsplash, and reception desk, and the design objects from the Tratto collection designed by Lissoni, an integral part of Atlas Concorde Habitat. A common thread is the wood-effect floor from the Log collection, developed in collaboration with Itlas, which runs through all domestic spaces.
Neolith, a brand specializing in sintered stone surfaces, presented its latest innovations at Salone del Mobile 2025, including the Atmosphere and Neolith Iconic Design lines. Atmosphere: Breeze of Innovation features new models—WhiteSands, Rapolano, Artisan, and Ignea—characterized by innovative textures and colors inspired by nature. Neolith Iconic Design combines 3D printing technology with full-body veining, achieving an even more natural and enveloping aesthetic, opening up unlimited creative possibilities.
The exhibition of collections was further enriched by a collaboration with ERA Timeless Design: from the meeting between Neolith's technological innovation and the precision of high watchmaking, an exclusive line of watches was born, where sintered stone defines the dials, combined with wood and metallic details. The deep shades of the Amazonico hue, a surface with intense green streaks, together with walnut essence, demonstrate the potential of sintered stone and Neolith's application versatility in a product that celebrates the fusion of design, craftsmanship and technology.
The "Into the Box" journey conceived by Caimi guides visitors to discover the design opportunities offered by the brand's numerous acoustic and furniture products. Technological and functional solutions are displayed inside "boxes" with coordinated, harmonious, and welcoming colors, where changes in hues correspond to thematic changes.
In Milan, Caimi presented Rerecycled, designed by AMDL Circle and Michele De Lucchi. In the master's words, "Rerecycled is a stackable stool with a simple and geometric design, inspired by the columns of ancient temples. The seat is a tribute to the capital. The product's name, imprinted on the seat, immediately declares the sustainable process that generates Rerecycled".
This unprecedented project allows for dual use, as a stool on one side and a planter on the other, suitable for both outdoor and indoor environments. Made of polyethylene, over 50% recycled and fully recyclable, it is rotationally molded in a single piece, while the hollow interior of the shaft allows multiple stools to be stacked. Rerecycled is offered in three color variants: light gray, dark gray, and apple green.
CB Sofa, designed by Claudio Bellini, is an innovative acoustic sofa characterized by generous plastic forms and rounded lines, ensuring superior acoustic comfort and an enveloping relaxation experience. The high backrest's ergonomics create an ideal environment for private meetings or activities requiring concentration.
Caimi's extensive collection of sound-absorbing elements is further expanded with Clover, designed by King&Miranda Design: three concave panels intersect at the ends, creating a sort of three-dimensional cloverleaf, which can be mounted in multiple solutions. The individual elements can also be combined to create additional configurations. Additionally, CUSI, designed by Felicia Arvid, enriches the company's diverse range of sound-absorbing elements.
Thanks to the new artistic direction of the A++ architecture studio led by Paolo Colombo and Carlo Colombo, Lema "inaugurates a new chapter in its history", says President Angelo Meroni, "with a vision that places the home as a space to live, an environment that creates an authentic and emotional connection with its inhabitants". A++ also designed the exhibition concept for the stand at the Salone, where visitors were invited to embark on a journey centered around the essential moments of the home: living, sharing, and resting.
The journey within the Lema home begins in the living area: the LT40 system, in its new configuration, embraces a central area housing the Yard sofa, Alton armchairs, and Dolmen coffee tables. In the second area of the living room, the Mirea sofa designed by Roberto Lazzeroni and the freestanding L25 system by Officinadesign Lema in its daytime version, both new this year, interact with the Francis coffee tables and Maddix armchairs in wood and tobacco-colored nubuck leather. Adjacent, the dining area hosts the August table and Blanca armchairs in Elara fabric, also by Lazzeroni. In the background, the Selecta system marks the transition from the living area to the wardrobe area.
Here, the protagonist is VentriTre, the walk-in closet designed by David Lopez Quincoces, modular and customizable, along with the LT40 container and wall element system, presented in its hazelnut-colored island version. The KYN doors in thermotreated oak, thanks to the new Omnya covering system, integrate with a passage portal between the various functional areas of the home. In the second walk-in closet, the Cloud sofa is paired with VentriTre, the LT40 vanity, and the scenic Eklissy doors.
In the sleeping area, the Maddox bed, flanked by Top nightstands, interacts with the L25 in its daytime version and the Omega armchair. In the second scenario, the Lullaby bed is framed by the LT40 3D Boiserie in carbon oak, another novelty for 2025. This second bedroom opens onto a refined space where the L25 is combined with the Niveaux sofa and coffee table pair, the Gullwing coffee table, the Tian wardrobe, and the Omnya paneling, which integrates the Dandy doors into a homogeneous surface where furniture becomes architecture.
In the last room of the set-up, Selecta provides a backdrop for the Bulé table, in reconstructed white Candoglia marble, surrounded by chocolate-colored leather Bea chairs. The relaxation area, dominated by the Ares sofas and Hasu armchairs, is completed with the Francis coffee tables, the LT40 open system with the new boiserie, and the Orion coffee tables, enhanced by the new finish in oak-stained ash wood.
Cattelan Italia presents several new products this year, starting with the Botero table, characterized by a minimalist language where materiality takes center stage, expressing the manufacturing excellence of Made in Italy. Designed by Paolo Cattelan, the table stands out for its sculptural central base: a shell with soft lines that evokes the generous and sensual volumes characteristic of Fernando Botero's works .
The desire to explore new dimensions of living materializes in the Michael sofa, a creation by Blus that combines craftsmanship, versatility, and attention to sartorial details. Its semicircular shape recalls the image of an amphitheater that invites conviviality, and the modular system allows for various configurations. Also designed by Blus, the Mykonos sofa recalls the harmony and aesthetic purity of ancient Greece. Available in different configurations, thanks to the removable cover, it can be easily transformed; the possibility to choose from a wide range of fabrics and finishes allows for customization according to individual needs.
The new Diploma floor lamp, designed by Studio Kronos, made of clay and hand-finished, draws inspiration from the golden ratio and follows the flow of the curved and soft lines of a parchment roll. The warm and diffused light, coming from the LED strip, embedded in the lamp's structure and dimmable, highlights the materiality of the clay and the craftsmanship of the workmanship.
Designed by Tosca Design, Cattelan Italia's first indoor screen, named Privé, consists of a modular system configurable starting from a three-panel version and features a freestanding solid wood structure, framed by a metal frame. Each module is marked by thin wooden panels that can be oriented at will, creating dynamic plays of light and shadow.
Designed by Castello and Lagravinese, the Ruby Lounge armchair features a wooden structure that gives solidity and aesthetics to the product. The essential lines of the legs integrate with the generous volumes of the seat, inspired by Scandinavian design and iconic armchairs of the seventies. Available in a range of customizable finishes and coverings, with its extra-large seat, Ruby Lounge adapts to both domestic environments and contract settings.
With this year's collection, Desiree, which in 2025 celebrates thirty years within the Euromobil Group, expands the boundaries of softness and hospitality, defining new possibilities for contemporary living. The Homan modular seating system, designed by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez, symbolizes this journey: designed for fluid comfort, where detail becomes essence and form welcomes in its softness, it is accompanied by a series of coffee tables from the same collection .
Also by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez are the Kublo coffee tables, suitable for any indoor or terrace environment, and the Eben outdoor armchair, which in the outdoor version has a natural iroko wood structure, with a hand-woven polyester rope. The Ciàcola table, designed by architect Tobia Scarpa, expands in finishes thanks to the new darker and neutral color variant, the carbon-stained ash base, and the lead-colored transparent layered top with perimeter beveling.
The Tè armchair, designed by Setsu & Shinobu Ito, is designed to generously welcome its guests, as indicated by its name, which in Japanese means "hands". Also by Setsu & Shinobu Ito are the Pond upholstered poufs: available in various shapes, they represent a place to rest things, sit, or rest feet. Furthermore, the Tor armchair, designed by R&S Desiree, is composed of two soft square-shaped upholstered elements, while the base consists of a curved profile in matte bronze-painted metal.
Completing Desiree's offering are the rugs: Daman, made of recycled PET pile and hand-made on a loom, Gradé, made with the hand-tufting technique and with gradients ranging from natural to rope or from pearl to anthracite, and Moss, with 100% polyester yarn, dyed in four colors: sand, rope, pearl, and smoke, with velvet processing.
Fiam Italia has presented a collection that redefines the balance between design and innovation through the technique of curved glass processing. Among the new features on display stands out Magnifico, the mirror collection signed by Marcel Wanders and so named to merge the Latin words Magnus (great) and facere (to make), which encapsulate the essence of this collection: to make great things. These mirrors have been cut at the top and bottom, allowing for further visual expansion and creating a suggestive sense of infinity. The modularity and finishes—silver, bronze, and smoked—allow the collection to adapt to any environment.
Then there's the Onair armchair, designed by Ceriani Szostak, in which curved glass replaces traditional legs, creating a visual separation between the seat and the floor and introducing a feeling of floating, as if the armchair were suspended in the air. Also by Ceriani Szostak is the pair of Gliss coffee tables, which explore rhythm and materiality: in this case, the glass seems to lose its static nature to transform into a moving surface, an effect achieved using the innovative DV-GLASS® patent.
Finally, the Segesta sideboard, the new container system designed by Studio Klass, aims to redefine the relationship between materials, geometries, and functionality. A key element of the project is the thin and essential frame, designed to visually lighten the structure and highlight the materiality of the glass shaped at high temperature. The contrast between the transparent doors and the solid top, in lacquered or veneered wood or in marble, creates a dynamic play that emphasizes the elegance of the furniture.
Among Gaber's new proposals, the Nuta Lounge armchair stands out for its unique, essential, and functional design for indoor and outdoor environments. Designed by Favaretto & Partners, it features a perforated technopolymer structure and harmonious shapes. For additional comfort, the Nuta Light Plus armchair is available, with a sturdy metal structure and enveloping upholstered backrest. The Nalì armchair, on the other hand, evolves the concept of relaxation thanks to the elongated shape of the seat, useful for using a device or raising the legs; it is available with a solid four-legged painted metal base or a four-spoke solid oak base.
Specifically regarding the indoor sector, the Zafar modular system, designed by Forsix, is designed to redefine environments dedicated to conviviality and waiting. With its generous dimensions and wide, comfortable seat, it offers an experience of absolute relaxation, combining ergonomics and contemporary design.
Moving to the outdoor world, the brand introduces the Majorette collection, designed by Favaretto & Partners, which aims to redefine the concept of seating with sophisticated design. Fully upholstered and covered in fabric or leather, this line stands out for its sculptural and enveloping shapes, combining aesthetics and functionality, and is available in three products: armchair, lounge chair and sofa.
The Twirli collection, designed by Forsix, embodies the perfect balance between precious materials and refined design, a characteristic that makes it ideal for use in the hospitality sector. The tables feature bases covered in leather and tops in screen-printed glass, which give lightness and brightness. Finally, the Enjoy modular system, designed by Marc Sadler, recalls natural weaves, creating a unique and refined aesthetic that integrates harmoniously into any outdoor environment.

With the Salone del Mobile 2025, Gamma Arredamenti celebrated 40 years of continuous presence at the event. On the occasion of this special anniversary, the company proposed a new way of living the home: it's the Gamma Total Living. A concept, identified by the title Beyond, that goes beyond aesthetics to enrich itself with artisanal details, Made in Italy know-how, and fine workmanship that enhance every domestic environment.
Among the new products presented in Milan, all signed by Giuseppe Viganò, the protagonist is Morgan, the modular sofa from the Dandy Home Collection, which stands out for its modern elegance, refined lines, and sartorial details. Available with two different backrest options—curved or straight—Morgan allows for dynamic and personalized compositions, adapting to any space. The environment is completed with a selection of coffee tables with travertine-effect ceramic tops, which combine distinctive style with the choice of innovative materials.
Moving to the sleeping area, the Gregory Night double bed completes the Gregory collection, a proposal that expresses comfort, functionality, and aesthetic refinement. Its upholstered headboard, outlined by a thick piping that emphasizes its proportions, gives the bed a majestic and scenic character, reinforced by the presence of leather belts applied to the sides of the headboard, which recall the sofa from the same collection. Gregory Night is available in a wide range of materials, from the fine leather upholstery to the fabric version, with the possibility to choose from a wide palette of colors.
For its fourth participation in the Salone del Mobile, Karimoku Case presented the installation “A Sense of Serenity”, characterized by a refined, dark-toned palette and an interior design that pays homage to Mid-Century Modern style. A true expression of the Karimoku Case DNA—a brand developed by Japan’s largest wooden furniture manufacturer, Karimoku Furniture, in collaboration with design studios Norm Architects and Keiji Ashizawa Design—the installation invited visitors to explore the brand’s core values: a love for understated beauty, the expressive richness of materials, and timeless elegance.
The exhibition space featured a curated selection of furnishings designed for various environments, including living areas, dining rooms, and studies. Among the highlights were the N-ST03 Side Table and A-ST01 Side Table, designed by Norm Architects and Keiji Ashizawa for the CASE 02.3 Nagoya Sakae Cafe project, as well as the NF Collection by Norman Foster, and the latest additions from the CASE 11 Logy Taipei project. Each furnishing piece on display featured a smoked oak finish, paired with dark-toned parquet flooring, contributing to a cohesive, lounge-like atmosphere.
The spatial composition of the installation, including bespoke structures, was inspired by earlier architectural projects by Norm Architects and Keiji Ashizawa—such as CASE 04 Azabu Residence, CASE 09 Bellustar Tokyo, and Karimoku Commons Kyoto. The textured finish of the wall surfaces evoked the ancient Japanese art of sakan, a traditional plastering technique executed by hand using spatulas and specialized tools, creating depth and dynamic lighting effects. Styling for the space was curated by interior stylist Yumi Nakata, who crafted an environment in which pale-toned stone and ceramic elements embodied a perfect balance between elegance and simplicity.
During Milan Design Week, Amini unveiled new yarns translated into timeless designer rugs, each a true expression of artisanal skill and creative design. Intricate weaves and natural tones took center stage at the Amini booth, where the company introduced new pieces by Dordoni Studio, Elisa Ossino, Manlio Rho, and Amini Studio.
Among the standout new releases were the RD Edge and RD Field rugs, both hand-knotted in wool by Rodolfo Dordoni; Writers – Leavitt, hand-woven in New Zealand wool by Elisa Ossino; Numeri Primi, also hand-knotted by Ossino; One of a Kind and Arcadia, both hand-knotted by Amini Studio; and Trasparenze, hand-tufted in New Zealand wool, also by Amini Studio.
A highlight of the presentation was the Viaggio nella Fantasia collection by Bruno Munari, which includes rugs such as Twenty-one Dots, Curved Lines, and Skyscrapers and the Moon, each hand-knotted in highland Tibetan wool. Munari’s work also took the spotlight in an initiative hosted at Amini’s showroom on Via Borgogna, as part of the Fuorisalone. The setup was curated by David Dolcini, an expert in the artist’s legacy and, in his own words, a “methodical Munari enthusiast”. The two featured rug collections serve as textile translations of two emblematic projects: Viaggio nella Fantasia and the kinetic art series Macchine Inutili.
