This issue has filtered 100+ designs from one of the best furniture and interior design shows of the world.

Do you know, Vertica Dvivedi and Madhurima clicked around 3000 photos this year at Milan Design Week? On top of this, several designers poured down their designs for this special issue. It was a mammoth task to churn the hundred from the several thousand.

People in Design, Art & Architecture do not miss to visit Milan Design Week and the famed Salone del Mobile. However, photography prohibition and lack of the time limit the experiences of many designers. To ensure that our readers get a great preview of the global best design show, Surfaces Reporter brings to you #SR100DesignsFromMilan every year, which is undoubtedly an arduous task.

This issue has featured work of very young designers to the well-known like Kengo Kuma, Daniel Libeskind, India Mahdavi, Fabio Novembre, Karim Rashid and more.

Proud to inform that our effort is not only recognized in India and Salone del Mobile but highly regarded by other media of the world as well. You will trust that this kind of an issue is born only out of very deep passion for design, and we believe our discerned readers deserve it!
