After a spectacular start to the year in Germany, where Heimtextil, Domotex, and IMM Cologne were all held over just two weeks, it’s time to take out your diary and block out these dates so that you don’t miss any of these design events in 2020.

JANUARY

Maison & Object, Paris

The Parisian decoration salon turns 25 this year, reuniting some of the best companies, designers, and manufacturers.  With the theme of (RE)GENERATION!, it’s looking to the future to explore the consumer habits of new generations and the impact they have on the interior design world.  It will celebrate its second edition for the year in September.

The Swedish capital brings together the best of Scandinavian design with its furniture and lighting fair.  It is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2020 with an exhibition that will bring together some design classics and the debut of a new space dedicated to workplace design.

 

MARCH

Interzum Guangzhou, China

While we wait for the next Interzum, this year we can visit the Guangzhou edition, which has become the main decorating and furniture event in Asia.  This global fair network will also stretch across the ocean to celebrate Interzum Bogotá, which is directed at the Latin American market.

APRIL

Milan Design Week and the Salone del Mobile, Milan

Get out your red pen to mark this unmissable date for lovers of design on your calendar. Attending the Salone is a must if you want to know what’s happening in the design world.  But make sure you set some time aside for the ever-increasing number of events that form part of Fuorisalone, which are spread throughout the design districts of the city.

 

 

MAY

Architect@work, Barcelona and Madrid

This is an exclusive event for professionals working in architecture, interior design, and construction and one which is reproduced all over the world.  This event brings together the most innovative materials and the most inspiring talks.

 

JUNE

Interior Lifestyle, Tokyo

With a focus on lifestyle, this fair goes beyond decoration and furniture to cover other fields such as food.  It is the perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with Japanese art and design, which is taking over the world.

OCTOBER

Orgatec, Cologne

The biggest international fair for office furniture and space planning will return from October 27 to October 31.  Its consistent growth is proof that we are giving more and more importance to the spaces in which we work.  In 2020, it will focus on the design of flexible work spaces that can adapt to the new work culture.
