Since its inception in 1998 as part of Salone del Mobile.Milano, SaloneSatellite has supported emerging designers, especially those under 35, and connected them with the production world. SaloneSatellite has its permanent collection at the Artwood Academy – Polo Formativo del Legno Arredo Fondazione ITS Rosario Messina in Lentate sul Seveso, Brianza. As many as 330 projects were featured in the catalogues of major Italian and international corporations, and some have even become signature icons of contemporary design.

This exhibition will showcase 95 pieces of award-winning design products, maps the themes and creativity that have characterised and shaped design from the turn of the 21^st century to the present day.

“The exhibition profiles the new generations to whom the baton of the 20^th century ‘masters‘ has been passed down, now entrusted with the key task of leading the society to envision a different future. Their creations mark out the trajectory of the evolution of contemporary design, as well as their aesthetic and projectile contribution to the history of design,” says Marva Griffin Wilshire, Founder and Curator of SaloneSatellite.
