designjunction returns to Salone del Mobile for EDIT with a powerful showcase of international brands taking over Palazzo Morando .

For the second year running, EDIT will take place during the Salone del Mobile from 9-13 April 2014. EDIT, which launched in April 2013 and attracted 22,000 visitors through the door, will showcase a powerful line-up of leading international brands. Set against the stunning backdrop of Palazzo Morando, a historic 18th Century building in the heart of Milan's fashion district, EDIT strikes the perfect balance between creative and commercial.

EDIT is set to be the premier design destination at this year's fair, presenting a carefully curated selection of more than 20 international brands, aiming to showcase quality, authentic design across all design disciplines.

Creating a dynamic hub for design in the centre of the city, just a stone’s throw from the Brera Design District, EDIT by designjunction will present new product launches, brand collaborations and installations including daily city bike tours courtesy of tokyobikes, Dezeen’s augmented reality pop-up watch store, an exhibition from COVER Magazine and a bespoke onsite café from Florence-based coffee connoisseurs, La Marzocco constructed in the building’s outdoor courtyard. Other brands exhibiting include: Modus, Innermost, EOQ, Stellar Works, Utopia & Utility, Flux, Resident, Baroncelli, Afghan Made and Adentro with more still to be announced.

"This year's show will be a truly international showcase of leading global enterprises. Twenty cutting-edge design brands have been carefully edited to capture the imagination of our flagship London show – with a focus on quality not quantity," said event director Deborah Spencer.

"This year we have moved to Palazzo Morando, to the south of the Brera Design District. The venue continues our ethos of finding architecturally interesting venues to house the designjunction showcase. Palazzo Morando is traditional and authentic in its architecture and the perfect backdrop for our international exhibitors. Spaces have been divided into zones rather than traditional stands to create a flow through the venue, and to allow exhibitors more expression," said creative director Michael Sodeau.
