Delayed due to Covid-19, the 60th edition of Milan’s mythic Salone del Mobile finally took place in early June. After cancellation in 2020 and a slimmed-down event in 2021, this milestone outing was back up to full fat, the number of exhibitors almost equaling 2019 figures. Though the Chinese stayed away due to draconian quarantine rules, and Russians were thin on the ground, Korea showed in force at the fair for the first time, and Indian exhibitors made the 4,000-mile trip. Nonetheless, attendance was lower than it might have been—260,000 visitors ventured out to Massimiliano Fuksas’s 10 million-square-foot Fiera Milano, compared to 380,000 in 2019.
