The countdown is on. We leave for Milan in a month and we’re firming up a schedule of events that we’re very excited about. We’ve asked three designers who are joining us on the trip what they’re most excited about.

Time to Learn, Not Work

“This fair has been on my radar for a very long time and finally the timing was right! I’m really excited to explore the furnishings accessories exhibit and to also just experience the show as a whole in Milan. I’ve never been to anything like this, where I’m strictly there to see and learn—and not work! I hope to make new contacts and meet creative people in all aspects of design, and to expand my knowledge of what’s out there on the horizon.”

— Clint Nicholas of Haus of Design, above with firm partner Lene Schneider

Get Inspired & Collaborate

“To gain inspiration from some of the greatest designers around the world, and to see unique furniture and product design. I’m also looking for opportunities to collaborate with designers on future projects.”

— Matthew Rosenberg, Founder + CEO of M-Rad Architecture

Create Community & New Friendships

“I'm excited to be inspired by the sensory experiences and the new products we'll discover. I’m also looking forward to meeting leaders and innovators in the industry, and to deepening my connection to the community—to feel awe and to laugh, and to make some new friendships. It’s important to our design process to attend shows nationally and internationally, and Salone is unique and immersive.”

— Ariel Fox of Ariel Fox Design
