This chapter explores the history of Salone del Mobile, an international furniture trade show in Milan that is now recognised as the industry's leading event, despite its origins as an export show for Italian manufacturers. Using a longitudinal research design, this chapter illustrates how the event was able to affirm local/national industries, products, and styles by improving knowledge sharing practices among exhibitors, linking furniture making to design, and attracting international media coverage. Since the 1990s, the trade show has also spun off hundreds of spontaneous cultural and commercial events in Milan that extend well beyond the confines of the exhibition centre and attract designers and other trendsetters. These fringe events create a vibrant cultural environment that provides further opportunities to learn about emerging trends in design and consumer culture.Less
