01Wer es besucht

Architects, interior designers, manufacturers and their showrooms, the galleries that sell collectible design, the design press, and a public that attends the Salone del Mobile's Fuorisalone in the hundreds of thousands. The Venice Architecture Biennale in odd years is the profession's exhibition; Milan in April is its trade fair and its festival; Design Miami in December and Design Miami.Basel in June are the collectible-design fairs that run beside the art fairs; Maison&Objet in Paris is the trade's January and September market.

02Warum diese Veranstaltungen zusammenhängen

The furniture and design trade's year is built around Milan in April, and the rest of the circuit is arranged before and after it. Maison&Objet in January previews the year; Milan launches it; NYCxDesign in May and 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen in June extend it; Design Miami.Basel piggybacks on Art Basel's collectors; the London Design Festival and PAD London in September and October are the autumn; Design Miami in December closes it beside Art Basel Miami Beach. The Venice Architecture Biennale in odd years and Homo Faber in even years give the circuit its Venetian exhibition in alternate years.

04Geografie

Milan is the center. Paris, New York, Copenhagen, Basel, Venice, London and Miami Beach are the stops; all but Copenhagen are also on the art circuit, and the two circuits share their collectors, their fair operators and, in Basel and Miami Beach, their weeks.

05Empfohlener Zeitplan

Milan in the Salone week is the stop, and the one to choose if choosing one: the fair is at Rho and the Fuorisalone is in the city, and the city is the better part. Hotels are booked months ahead and priced for it. Design Miami in December and PAD London in October are the collectible-design fairs to pair with the art fairs beside them. Venice in an Architecture Biennale year is best in May at the opening or in September when the crowds have gone.

06Wichtige Überschneidungen

The Salone del Mobile follows Watches and Wonders by a week and coincides with the Monte-Carlo Masters. NYCxDesign runs alongside Frieze New York, the spring auctions and the Met Gala. Design Miami.Basel shares Art Basel's week and therefore Royal Ascot's. The London Design Festival coincides with London Fashion Week and the Cannes Yachting Festival; PAD with Frieze and the October auctions. Design Miami shares its week with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the Antigua Charter Yacht Show. Maison&Objet in January falls between the men's shows and the couture in Paris.
