Salone Del Mobile 2016 was one of the most interesting editions of the design week so far. For those of you (and me) who wasn’t able to pay a visit I made a quick selection of some of the highlights.
“This is what Salone should be. Not things you’ve already seen or that remind you of something from last year. It is about surprising people” Nina Yashar
