The annual Salone del Mobile.Milano was back in full force in its usual April time slot for 2023. Once again the fashionable city put design front and centre with a show-stopping and action-packed program, alongside the completely revitalised fairgrounds under the guidance of president, Maria Porro.

The result is this highly curated and concise IndesignliveAsia Milan Edit with beautiful imagery and videos to get you inspired.
