The Italian job: LS:N Global moves to Milan

Milan – With our line-up of six journalists, forecasters and visual trend analysts, LS:N Global has one of the largest teams reporting on the design calendar’s most significant event, the Salone Internazionale del Mobile and its satellite shows next week.

We’ll be bringing you the best from the halls of the main Salone, as well as the satellite shows including the spazios in its ‘cooler, younger brother’ area, Zona Tortona and the new Ventura Lambrate quarter.

Before the shows, we’re running daily Seeds and a micromarket preview, which will be on the network on Monday 12 April.

During the shows, in collaboration with Zona Tortona, we’ll be decamping to Milan to update the network daily on the designers that count, the shows that matter, and the trends, themes and techniques that are making waves.

And after the shows we’ll run a review in the Insight section and numerous design directions in the Inspire section.

If you have a story or a question and want to contact us, email LS:N Global editor James Wallman at [email protected].
