Milan is not only the fashion capital of the world, but also home to the amazing Salone Internazionale del Mobile. Celebrating its 51st exhibition this week, the biggest furniture trade fair of it’s kind hit the ground running with a fantastic collection of high quality goods destined for the global market. I had a gander at some of the designers and their fabulous products after the show wrapped up yesterday and thought I'd let you in on the hype and share my Top 5..
This eye-popping Qvarto sofa from Bla Station designed by Borge Lindau is a beautiful piece of furniture. You can use each piece independently or together! It also comes in some brilliant patterns and colours.

A mirror AND a bookcase…genius idea. I love that you can chop and change the display too. Instead of using books, decorate with photo frames and ornaments. This Belvedere mirror from Opinion Ciatti designed by Marcello Zillani will for sure get your visitors talking!
