SaloneSatellite, the flagship event of Salone del Mobile.Milano, returns from 13 to 18 April 2027. A real springboard for young design talent, applications are open until 30 August 2026. This is a unique opportunity for designers under the age of 35 to make their mark on the international stage.
Who is it for?
SaloneSatellite is aimed at young designers aged under 35, whether they are independent, at the start of their careers, or graduates of design schools and universities.
Since its creation in 1998 by Marva Griffin Wilshire, the event has welcomed over 14,000 designers and 270 international institutions, many of whom are now leading figures in contemporary design.
How to apply?
Applications are open until 30 August 2026.
To take part, you must submit three completed projects in English.
Why?
Taking part in SaloneSatellite means:
- showcasing your creations in a prestigious setting, in front of international professionals, the media and buyers;
- meeting entrepreneurs, publishers and talent scouts on the lookout for new ideas;
- competing for the SaloneSatellite Award, which each year recognises three outstanding projects and awards special mentions;
- gaining access to real opportunities: many of the prototypes presented have gone into production and launched their creators’ careers.
SaloneSatellite is much more than a trade fair: it is a laboratory of ideas, a visionary hub where the design of tomorrow takes shape. If you are a young designer ready to take on the challenges of the future, don’t miss this opportunity.
