For many brands, this September will mark the first opportunity to show their products at a physical event in over a year, as the coronavirus pandemic forced most 2020 design shows to move to online-only events.

The key newcomer this September is Milan, which has moved from its traditional April fixture. The citywide fuorisalone events take place between 4 and 10 September, including Alcova on 5 to 12 September and Brera Design District between 4 and 10 September, while the parallel Salone del Mobile furniture fair runs over 5 to 10 September.
