Open Call Salone del Mobile 2022

The Salone del Mobile in Milan is one of the largest international fairs for furniture and product design. For many years now, the Creative Industries Fund NL has been issuing an open call for a presentation at this fair. Due to the corona pandemic, these presentations could not take place in the usual form for the past two years. This year, however, it is possible. The Salone del Mobile 2022 takes place from 7 to 12 June. Before launching this open call, the Fund waited for the relaxation of the COVID-19 measures. Despite the short preparation time, the Fund hopes to support a good number of projects.

This open call is open to professional designers, makers and design agencies working in the fields of design, architecture, digital culture or the crossovers between them who already have arranged a presentation location.

This open call is open to proposals for presentations including research results, objects, installations or workshops. The type of presentation is not set in stone.

No grant can be applied:
- when the applicant does not yet have a presentation location. The Fund will not provide a location to present;
- for a presentation during the Salone del Mobile 2022 within a project that has already received a contribution from the Fund;
- when there is still ongoing support from the Fund from the Open Call Salone del Mobile 2020.

In order to prepare the application, it is important to acquire the right information based on the following documents:
