The Design Week 2018 has finally arrived and as usual Milan is ready to conquer the title of design capital. For years now, for both the Milanese and tourists, this is one of the most awaited weeks of the year: the Lombard capital is full of life, unusual locations welcome hordes of curious people and the metro is invaded by visitors who run between the various districts.

At the 57th edition, the Design Week awaits more than two thousand exhibitors from all over the world and a crowd of industry professionals and design addicts is ready for the most important international event in the universe of design and furniture.

The task of animating the life of the city’s neighborhoods is instead the co-star of these dynamic days, the festive soul of the Design Week. The Fuorisalone has a rich program of events that will animate every district: happy hours, parties, installations, exhibitions and initiatives in the name of food for a total of more than a thousand events in less than a week.

Nature, environment and sustainability are the guiding themes of this edition, which, like every year, will explore also related sectors such as fashion, art, food and technology. The Fuorisalone calendar is full of events that will invade and point the spotlight on all corners of the city, the now consolidated districts and new metropolitan areas that don’t intend to miss the call of the Design Week.

Some main areas: Brera, the most historic district of Fuorisalone, that this year animates the streets with the theme “Be human. Design with empathy “; Tortona with all its showrooms, and the brand new Ventura Lambrate & Ventura Centrale. The program schedule is super dense with initiatives and it’s often difficult to navigate the proposals of the various districts to experience the best of this week.

That’s why here at Flawless Milano, we comes to the rescue as a compass to signal unmissable events and locations to fully enjoy the festive atmosphere that Milan offers in these days. We have selected for you some spaces and events present for the duration of the Design Week, our favorite brands at the fair and you will find a daily small guide to the must-go appointments.

If you want to play in advance we suggest two pre-salon proposals that will prepare you for the sparkling mood of the week both on April, Monday 16th.
