MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “The appointment with the Salone del Mobile,Milan represents the culmination of a path that, every year, wood-furniture companies undertake, to maintain the leadership recognized to them worldwide. For our industrial fabric, composed of a multiplicity of companies, including small and very small ones, participation in the Salone del Mobile has an unparalleled strategic value, as a showcase capable of attracting the world of design to the Lombard capital. An absolute unicum of which our companies are the driving force and at the same time, the end user, because the primary objective of our fair is to allow Made in Italy design to continue to export to the world, open up to new markets and weigh more and more on Italian manufacturing.” Thus Claudio Feltrin, president of FederlegnoArredo, speaking at the presentation of the Annual Report 2024 (Eco) Sistema Design Milano. “The strong link with the city of Milan is one of the characteristics that have made the Salone del Mobile great in the world. And this ability to integrate the trade fair business with cultural events has set the standard, also thanks to a city that is open and able to enhance its excellence. An initiative like today’s perfectly hits the mark: bringing together all the energies that are directly or indirectly involved in Milan’s richest and liveliest week. FederlegnoArredo is ready to play its part so that the dialogue between those who create business and those who animate the city is increasingly synergistic,” he added. Feltrin then recalled how “the Salone del Mobile.Milano was born from a group of enlightened entrepreneurs who in 1961, in order to promote Italian furniture industry exports, gave birth to this wonderful idea within FederlegnoArredo. The Federation. founded in 1945, will celebrate a truly important milestone next year: 80 years of history in which each entrepreneur has contributed to the growth of an entire supply chain and at the same time helped to grow the Salone del Mobile.Milano. The 80-year history of the Federation represents the history of the successes of our entrepreneurs,” he concluded.(ITALPRESS).-Photo: Federlegnoarredo press office-
