Salone del Mobile. Milano Launches in Lagos to Boost Design
Salone del Mobile. Milano officially debuted in Nigeria on 23 October 2026 during Design Week Lagos 2026, a significant event for the pan-African creative scene.
The gathering included Marco Sabetta, General Manager of Salone del Mobile. Milano, and Marva Griffin Wilshire, Founder and Curator of SaloneSatellite, who met with Nigerian architects, interior designers, and business leaders at the National Theatre in Lagos.
The event aimed to deepen mutual understanding of the Nigerian market and explore collaborative opportunities. Sabetta noted the importance of engaging with the Lagos community for gaining new perspectives.
The visit aligns with Salone's strategy to expand into high-growth design markets, with Nigerian demand for Italian bathroom furniture increasing by 108.6% in 2026. During the event, Marva Griffin Wilshire received the Architectural Legacy Honour at the inaugural IDEA Honours ceremony for her contributions to international design through SaloneSatellite.
The award plaque was designed by Nigerian artist Demas Nwoko.
