This year's edition of Milan's Salone del Mobile, as seen by Architonic

With its innumerable coinciding events, exhibitions, shows, launches and lunches that somehow always end up happening simultaneously – and at opposite ends of town – getting to see everything Milan has to offer during the widespread, one-week design frenzy, also known as Salone Internazionale del Mobile, might frequently (read unfailingly) prove to be a Tom Cruise-less mission impossible. But, if, despite that carefully-planned and executed with a military precision schedule, you still have a hunch that you might just have missed what’s going to be this year’s most-talked-about design, worry not. We’ve seen it, captured it and it’s now among some 2000 images which we have conveniently grouped into several thematic galleries. Here’s round one, two, three and four with images from the main battleground, The Fiera.

Production process of Dinesen's hard-wearing solid-wood floor planks; photo © Architonic

Made from carefully selected trees which are between 80 and 120 years old, some of Dinesen’s acclaimed hard-wearing planks reach up to an astonishing 15 meters in length.
