​Fuorisalone at Milan Design week exhibits trends for the forthcoming year with some wild and stunning display of interior space, technologies, events and presentations. Its one design week you don’t want to miss out on and is a must to visit at least once, if you’re a designer or design enthusiast. 

​Milan design week is defined with two main entities - Fuorisalone and Salone del Mobile.

​Salone del Mobile is an international furniture fair, held at the Fiera Milano exhibition centre yearly. While Salone del Mobile is a paid entry exhibition the Fuorisalone is free and displays work from up and coming designers and not just established ones. Also, the Fuorisalone is centred around Milan’s city centre while the Salone del Mobile is located further out from the city centre.

Milan – a small quaint city on the northern region of Italy is the home to Gelato, Da Vinci’s The Last Supper as well as Expo Milano. Milan doesn’t boost a large city centre but is one rich in architecture and culture. 

​Milan has lived through several occupancies as well as wars. Some of these remnants can still be seen around Milan and one the most obvious is the Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace). When Napolean conquered Milan in the early 18th century, he erected the Arco della Pace to celebrate his victory. The location of the arch corresponds with the location of the Roman Walls and the Porta Giovia. The arch itself looks similar to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with its Neoclassical bas-reliefs and statues celebrating historical and mythological events of Italy and Europe.
