Milan Design Week dates

Milan Design Week opens Monday, April 20, 2026, and runs through Sunday, April 26, with the citywide Fuorisalone starting a day before the main fair at Rho. (fuorisalone.it) (salonemilano.it) The split matters for visitors: Fuorisalone’s official event guide lists installations and brand activations across Milan from April 20 to 26, while Salone del Mobile itself opens April 21 and runs through April 26 at Fiera Milano Rho. (fuorisalone.it) (salonemilano.it) Salone del Mobile is the trade fair at the fairgrounds; Fuorisalone is the network of exhibitions, talks and installations spread through districts including Brera, 5VIE and Tortona. The official Fuorisalone site calls itself the guide to Milano Design Week 2026 events. (salonemilano.it) (fuorisalone.it) That is why “Milan Design Week” often appears with slightly different start dates in guides. The fair’s own dates are April 21 to 26, but the city program begins on Monday, April 20, and some satellite events start as early as April 19. (salonemilano.it) (dezeen.com) The 2026 fair is the 64th edition of Salone del Mobile, which organizers presented in January at Triennale Milano. Salone says this year also brings back the biennial kitchen and bathroom exhibitions, EuroCucina and the International Bathroom Exhibition. (salonemilano.it 1) (salonemilano.it 2) Fashion and luxury brands are again using the week as a showroom for interiors, collectible objects and large-scale installations. Hermès says it will present its new home collections at La Pelota on Via Palermo from April 22 to 26. (hermes.com) Other fashion-linked stops are already on 2026 calendars. Dezeen’s event guide lists Prada Frames from April 19 to 21, while Fuorisalone’s official listings include Grand Seiko, Veuve Clicquot and other brands showing in the city from April 20. (dezeen.com) (fuorisalone.it) Triennale Milano is also running a full Design Week program from April 20 to 26, adding museum-scale exhibitions to the commercial launches and showroom debuts. Fuorisalone says the venue will host installations and projects tied to contemporary design and architecture. (fuorisalone.it) For anyone planning the week, the cleanest read is this: city events start April 20, the fair opens April 21, and the whole cycle wraps on April 26. In Milan, one date belongs to the fairgrounds and the other belongs to the city. (fuorisalone.it) (salonemilano.it)
