Salone del Mobile.Milano 2018: partnerships and facilities
Even greater care has gone into making arrivals at the fairgrounds and visits to the trade
fair stress-free and seamless for this year’s Salone del Mobile.Milano. As well as the
established partnerships, the special agreements for booking accommodation, moving
around the city and air and train travel are again in place this year.

The 57th edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano sees the consolidation of the
partnerships forged over the years, with Intesa Sanpaolo as an institutional partner. This
is in line with the banking group’s strategy of valorising the Italian business fabric and
helping the recovery of small and medium-sized enterprises in innovative and unusual
ways for a banking institution.

A new high-level partnership deal has been signed with Audemars Piguet, the Official
Timekeeper for this edition. Audemars Piguet will welcome visitors by the main entrances to
the fair and will also be showcasing an exclusive selection of Haute Horologie pieces in the
Red Lounge at the Salone del Mobile.Milano. This partnership sees two global high flyers
come together to promote and support outstanding ideas and designs that combine creativity
and savoir-faire.

The official partners include S.Pellegrino, a symbol of Italian style and taste, which will be the
official water provider to the Salone del Mobile.Milano and its events abroad again this year.
With its abundance of soft, lively bubbles and slightly sapid taste, it will slake the thirst of the
many visitors flocking to the pavilions to check out the very latest in design.

Again in the food & drink sector, premium coffee brand leader illy will be back again this
year. The company is known for spreading the coffee culture around the world, producing
and marketing its unique 100% Arabica espresso blend in the high-end segment of the
coffee market. Illy coffee will be served to guests in dedicated spaces at the fairgrounds
and the company will supply coffee to the Press Office in particular.

Our partnership with Ca’ del Bosco, the internationally renowned prestigious Italian wine
producer, is now into its fifth consecutive year. An official sponsor of the Salone del
Mobile.Milano, Ca’ del Bosco will have its own space on Corso Italia in the fairgrounds,
open to all visitors. A vertical garden, reminiscent of the green vineyards of Franciacorta,
will encourage fans to sample the famous Franciacorta wines.

This year too, visitors can plan and manage their stays online, thanks to HelmsBriscoe,
part of Mutika DMC& Events, the global leader in the events sector and in the selection
and research for hotels for events and conferences. Exhibitors and visitors can organise
their own stay in Milan through a dedicated portal, booking accommodation as well as
other services for their time in the city
On the mobility front, trade agreements have been renewed with the following:
    - Municipality of Milan and the city transport system ATM, enabling visitors to the
       Salone del Mobile.Milano to buy discounted combined tickets for urban transport
       and fairground entry.

    -   SkyTeam Global Meetings, allowing exhibitors, professionals and journalists
        taking part in the Salone to buy air tickets with discounts of between 5% and
        15%, according to booking class.

This year’s official car sharing provider and partner is DriveNow, the BMW Group’s car
sharing mobility concept, available in 13 European cities. 500 BMWs and MINIs
throughout Milan, all part of the same European scheme, will enable Italian and
international visitors – with valid access ticket – to access the dedicated car park inside
the Rho fairgrounds from Cargo1 entrance and get around Milan quickly and easily.

Special rail mobility partnerships have also been renewed with the following:

- Trenitalia, which is setting up special stops for high-speed Freccia and EuroCity trains at
Rho Fiera (both arrivals and departures) and running trade promotions for Cartafreccia
loyalty cardholders in a bid to encourage visitors to travel to the fairgrounds by train.

- Italo, which is setting up special HS train stops at Rho Fiera (both arrivals and
departures), with discounted fares from all over Italy; all Italo Più loyalty cardholders
qualify for a special discount on entry tickets.

Underscoring the international mission of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, the Welcome
Project is being run for the fifth consecutive year. The project is the result of a partnership
with the Municipality of Milan, Cristina Tajani, Councillor for Employment, Economic
Development, University and Research Policies and the city’s leading design schools –
Domus Academy, the IED Institute of European Design, the Marangoni Institute, Milan’s
NABA Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti and the Polytechnic University of Milan/Design
School. The Salone del Mobile.Milano is also setting up a number of information points in
partnership with Fiera Milano, the Milan airports authority SEA and ATM at focal points
around the city (Malpensa and Linate airports, the Central Station and the main
underground stations), manned by 100 students primed to provide information to the
public on getting around the city, on the fair itself and also on the raft of events taking
place in Milan, organised by the Department.

Milan, 7th February 2018
illycaffè reconfirmed Global Coffee Partner of the Salone del Mobile
Milan, January 2018 – illycaffè, a worldwide leader in high-quality coffee, reaffirms its passion for art and
design by taking part in the upcoming Salone del Mobile shows as Global Coffee Partner.

From Milan to Moscow and through to Shanghai, the world’s leading trade fairs dedicated to creativity and
design will be enriched by illy’s unmistakable blend, made with 9 varieties of the very best Arabica coffee,
giving every cup, in every corner of the globe, an smooth and harmonious balance of flavours.

A dedicated illycaffè area will enable visitors to sample the brand’s full range of products at the Salone del
Mobile. Milano, the Saloni WorldWide in Moscow, the Salone del Mobile. Milano Shanghai, and other
side events.

The idea of design as a ‘project’, and not just as the creation of mere objects, has always been the
cornerstone of the illycaffè conception of the visual arts, as evidenced by the company’s collaboration with
the very best Italian designers for its coffee machines or with world-renowned artists for the iconic cups of
its illy Art Collection.

“This project-oriented approach is not just reflected in the company’s presence at prestigious art and design
events, but is the result of the company’s deep-rooted affinity with the world of art – tells Massimiliano
Pogliani, illycaffè CEO, who continues - The search for beauty, the constant pursuit of perfection, and the
mission of offering the very best coffee in the world have come together to form a global vision - beautiful
places where plants grow and beans are harvested, and stylish bars hosting the sophisticated conversation
of intellectuals. Inspiration, design and artistic cups lie at the heart of this vision.”

Embodying Italian excellence around the world, illycaffè turns a simple, everyday activity like drinking
coffee into a spark of inspiration, inspiring us to find happiness in our day-to-day lives, and encouraging us
to live every moment to the fullest; in short, to live happilly.

Illycaffè is an Italian family-run business, established in Trieste in 1933, which has always strived to offer the very best coffee to the world. It is the
most popular coffee brand across the globe, and produces a unique 100% Arabica blend, combining 9 of the finest qualities worldwide. Every day, 7
million cups of illy coffee are served in more than 140 countries, in the best bars, restaurants and hotels, in single-brand stores and cafés, and, of
course, at home. illy is considered the “espresso standard-bearer” and a leader in coffee science and technology, as a result of three radical
innovations. In 1991, with the creation of the "Ernesto Illy Prize for Quality Espresso” in Brazil, Illy became the pioneer of direct procurement,
encouraging shared knowhow, guaranteeing growers a higher price for the finest quality coffee, and establishing partnerships based on the
principles of sustainable development. The company also established the University of Coffee, with the aim of promoting coffee culture at all levels.
This institute offers comprehensive academic and practical training to growers, baristas and coffee lovers alike, enabling them to study every aspect
of this product. Everything that is “made in illy” - from its logo, designed by artist James Rosenquist, to the cups of the illy Art Collection, decorated
by more than 100 international artists - is enriched with the brand’s core values of beauty and art. In 2016, the company employed 1269 people and
generated consolidated revenues of €460 million. There are approximately 230 illy cafés and single-brand stores in 43 countries worldwide.

CA’ DEL BOSCO CONFIRMED AS EXCLUSIVE PARTNER AGAIN IN 2018
                    OF SALONE DEL MOBILE.MILANO

             A renovated satisfying collaboration uniting Franciacorta excellence
                                   with the world of design

Milan, 17-22 April, 2018 – Ca’ del Bosco is again the official partner of the Salone del
Mobile.Milano, which will take place from 17 to 22 April 2018 at Milan Fairgrounds, Rho.

The collaboration is now at its fifth year. This renewed spirit of mutual esteem is another
opportunity to represent Italian wine excellence in the vibrantly creative international context of
design, where passion, style, imagination, brilliance and innovation inspire craft skills and
tradition, values that have always been synonymous with Ca’ del Bosco.

Ca’ del Bosco will be present with a 190-square meter stand in Corso Italia at Milan Fairgrounds,
Rho. The space reflects the inimitable Ca’ del Bosco style and echoes the winery’s architecture.
Its undulating roof is reminiscent of the gently rolling Franciacorta hills where the vines grow.
Blue wolves - Blue Guardians by the cracking Art group, previously displayed on the winery roof at
Erbusco - watch over the stand and its guests at the Fair. A vertical garden recalls the verdant
vineyards. The Franciacorta experience is rounded off by an opportunity to taste Ca’ del Bosco’s
Franciacorta wines paired with the highest quality finger food.

Ca’ del Bosco is the leading producer of fine-bubbled Franciacortas. A position achieved thanks to the enthusiasm,
the passion, the effort and the work that since the Seventies allowed to transform a house in a wood into a
vanguard winery.
One overriding principle underpins all procedures at Ca’ del Bosco, from bunch selection to bottling. That principle
is quality, or rather just one level of quality. Excellence.
