With a rich program of exhibitions and B2B meetings, Beijing Design Week has set the stage for a dialogue with the international design community at Milan's Salone del Mobile, or Milan Furniture Fair, which kicked off in Italy's design capital on April 8.

The new challenge for Beijing Design Week was being an interpreter of a "wider vision of design" through developing new partnerships and forms of business dialogue during the show which runs on 8-13 April, organizers said.

How a global vision of design can be transformed into concrete opportunities for cultural and commercial exchanges? Beijing Design Week's answer was nurturing creative realities and workable proposals that enable design to permeate into everyday life.

For example, the largest delegation of Chinese distributors of made in Italy was present at Salone del Mobile and will take part in the "China Home B2" project of dialogue between Italian and Chinese professionals in the field of furniture design.
