Leavin’ On a Jet Plane…to Italy
It’s that time of year again for the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, the biggest furniture show in the world!
It’s held every year in April in Milan, Italy and Vastu co-owners Eric Kole and Jason Claire have been lucky enough to attend for the past few years.
They use this trip to shop the hundreds of amazing furniture and furnishing accessory vendors that go to the show. It is definitely the place to see the best and biggest trends for the home and it’s Eric and Jason’s intent to bring back lines and products that we feel you all will love.
Here are just a few stats from 2011′s show…
The 2011 edition was attended by:
- 282,483 visitors (177,964 of whom came from 154 Countries)
- 32,870 members of the general public
- 5,967 journalists
2011 also had a total of 1,283 exhibitors (1,020 of which were Italian).

We’ll be posting updates from Milan, as well as photos of the great products Eric and Jason encounter, here on Design Clique and on our Facebook page.
In the meantime, head over to iSaloni’s blog to get a little taste of Milan.
