And the route to the sixtieth edition already begun, thanks to the pencil of the award-winning Italian illustrator Emiliano Ponzi, who is in charge of creating the image of the communication campaign of the Salone del Mobile. Milano 2022. Ponzi -who has signed six posters celebrating the anniversary of the event and showing its relationship with the city, the people and the evolution of costumes from 1961 to today - follows illustrious predecessors: Massimo Vignelli, Pierluigi Cerri, Guido Scarabottolo and Lorenzo Marini. Well-known for its essential and clear lines and for his almost metaphysical atmosphere, the artist will translate into a poster each decade of the Salone’s history – a narration in episodes that makes it clear how the Milanese event has always been more than an exhibiting event, embodying the values and the abilities that made Milan the undisputed capital of design in the world. The first poster shows an interior in Milan during the Sixties, the second the working-class city of the Seventies, the third the “Milan, enjoy it”, that of fashion and design of the Eighties, while for the Nineties the author was inspired by the Scala theatre and by its relationship with the Salone. If in the first decade of the new Millennium all is gathered around the new spaces in Rho, designed by Massimiliano Fuksas, the last poster reflects on the present day and look forward to the future, focusing on sustainability – today on of the priorities of the event.
