Dezeen has teamed up with Milan's Salone del Mobile to live stream a panel discussion each day during Supersalone for its Open Talks series, from 6-10 September.
Taking place each afternoon at 3:00pm Milan time, the talks will cover topics including women in design institutions, radical design and design education and feature designers, curators and critics including Beatriz Colomina, Lilli Hollein, Aric Chen and Stefano Boeri.
The discussions are part of Open Talks, a series of daily talks at Supersalone curated by Maria Cristina Didero.
The special edition of the furniture fair will see exhibits installed on walls instead of branded booths
This year's edition of Salone del Mobile, titled Supersalone, is curated by architect Boeri as a response to the coronavirus pandemic, which caused the cancellation of the 2020 edition. Taking place in Milan in September rather than in its usual April slot, the special edition of the fair will feature products displayed on a series of parallel walls instead of in branded booths.
"I believe that this will be a way to take a risk in the right direction and demonstrate that the Salone is alive, that Milan is alive and that generally, our field is still dynamic and open to new conditions," Boeri told Dezeen in an interview earlier this year.
