The official figures for the 49th edition of the Milan furniture testify to an increase in the number of visitors representing both the professional sector – with almost 300,000 in total – and the general public (over 300,000). These encouraging numbers demonstrate how the Milan show is still the most important of its kind in the world, even though the sector’s current problems are no secret. Just a few days after the expo opened, Rosario Messina, president of FederlegnoArredo, said that after last year, which was “the worst our industry has ever experienced”, businesses need more than ever to keep on investing in research and innovation. In other terms, this means that they need to keep following the path trodden for years by the more farsighted companies, which reconciles experimentation with concrete reality.

Abstract
The official figures for the 49th edition of the Milan furniture testify to an increase in the number of visitors representing both the professional sector – with almost 300,000 in total – and the general public (over 300,000). These encouraging numbers demonstrate how the Milan show is still the most important of its kind in the world, even though the sector’s current problems are no secret. Just a few days after the expo opened, Rosario Messina, president of FederlegnoArredo, said that after last year, which was “the worst our industry has ever experienced”, businesses need more than ever to keep on investing in research and innovation. In other terms, this means that they need to keep following the path trodden for years by the more farsighted companies, which reconciles experimentation with concrete reality.
