In the first of a new series of monthly reports on upcoming design events from World Design Guide, April's focus is on the hundreds of exhibitions, talks and parties across Milan next week. We've also added eleven new events to this year's guide.

From 9 to 14 April, Milan will host the design world's most important jamboree, which features the Salone Internazionale del Mobile trade fair, upcoming designers and brands at the Ventura Lambrate and Tortona Design Week districts, plus many more locations across the city.

We'll be reporting from the Italian design capital and filming as part of our Dezeen and MINI World Tour. Check out the previews we've published so far here.
