Applications are now open for SaloneSatellite 2026, scheduled for April 21 – 26 at Fiera Milano, Rho. It is an unmissable opportunity for young designers under 35 who have until August 30, 2025, to put forward three innovative prototypes.
The selected applicants are offered a chance to participate in up to three editions (not necessarily consecutive), provided they are under the age limit of 35.

The most noteworthy participants at SaloneSatellite include figures now central to the international contemporary design scene, such as Oki Sato, founder of the Japanese studio Nendo, Sebastian Herkner, recognized for his material and cultural sensitivity, Matali Crasset, the radical voice of French design, the poetic and sophisticated Cristina Celestino, Lorenzo Damiani, whose work stands out for its conceptual depth and formal coherence, and the Swedish collective Front, known for its experimental and narrative approach.
Not to mention leading names on the Chinese scene: PINWU Design Studio – promoters of a month-long residency at their RONG Design Library, reserved for recipients of the SaloneSatellite Award Special Mention – Benwu Studio and Frank Chou Design Studio.
The hub for young, talented designers was initiated by Marva Griffin Wilshire in 1998 and is still curated by her. The idea was to make SaloneSatellite an international hotbed of talent to be brought to the attention of and made available to furniture companies all over the world.
