What this site is

An unofficial, non-commercial, fan-made guide to Milan Design Week 2026 (20–26 April). It is not affiliated with Salone del Mobile.Milano, Fuorisalone.it, any brand featured in an event, or any journalist whose curation is cited. The guide exists to help a small group of friends navigate the week.

What we collect

Nothing, on our side. The site is a static build — there is no server, no database, no account system, and no analytics pixel. We do not see who visits, what they click, or what they filter on.

The only data stored locally in your browser is your shortlist - a list of event IDs you have hearted. It lives in localStorage under the key mdw2026-shortlist and never leaves your device. Clear your browser storage to remove it.

The one traffic signal we do see is an aggregate request counter in Vercel’s hosting dashboard - total pages served, broken down by country. That is the same metadata any web host records to keep the site online. No visitor IDs, no cross-site tracking, no profiling. No analytics script is injected into the page.

Third-party services your browser talks to

Loading the page makes requests to a handful of third parties. Each one can see your IP address and what URL you requested — operational information for them, not us. We do not aggregate or forward any of it.

• OpenFreeMap serves the vector tiles you see on the map.
• OpenStreetMap contributors provide the underlying geodata.
• fuorisalone.it hosts the cover images and gallery photos you see on event cards and detail pages. Images are hotlinked, not copied — credit stays with the original brands. The source page for each event is always one click away.
• Google Mapsopens in a new tab when you tap “Directions” — only then.
• Vercel hosts the static files. Their edge CDN logs request metadata (IP, URL, user-agent) for the usual operational reasons (DDoS protection, debugging). See Vercel’s privacy policy.

Location

The map has a “Show my location” button (top-right, compass icon). Tapping it asks your browser for permission to read your GPS. The location stays on your device — it is used only to render a blue dot on the map. We never receive it. Decline the browser prompt and the rest of the site still works fully.

Event data & accuracy

Event titles, descriptions, venues, coordinates, and press coverage are scraped from fuorisalone.it as it appeared on the scrape date shown in the footer. Times, addresses, and availability can change — always confirm on the official page before travelling. We do not warrant the data and accept no liability for visits that do not match what is described here.

The “Top tier” and “Curated” labels are editorial picks — computed from fuorisalone.it’s own featured carousel plus our keyword / brand scoring, with a small hand-picked set informed by our own reading. No data is imported from any third-party guide. Roberta Mutti’s Milan Design Week 2026 map was a reference for taste while picking the small set by hand, not a data source.

Your rights

Because we do not collect personal data on this site, there is nothing for us to access, correct, or delete on our side. If something here looks wrong or you would like your event, image, or name removed, write through the Feedback page and we will address it within the week.

Feedback form

The Feedback page is the one place where we receive personal data from you. When you submit it, your message and the email address you optionally provide are sent through Formspree to our personal inbox. Formspree retains submissions in their dashboard for spam filtering and we delete them from there after they have been read. We do not store any of this on our own servers — there are none, the site is fully static. Leave the email field blank if you do not want a reply, and there will be no way to contact you back.
