If you are in the States and love interior design, you've no doubt heard of High Point Market. If you're in the UK, you'll know Chelsea Harbour Design Centre. Bigger and arguably more exciting (who doesn't relish a trip to Italy?) is Salone del Mobile in Milan.
It's the place to see some of the world's best known design brands showing off their 'novelties', as they coin them. These new launches are powerful: they often influence designers the world over, and make their way, in one form or another, into many of our homes. Without a doubt, Salone is where we journalists spot furniture trends for the year ahead.
