International and Chinese clients
Salone Hostess helps companies based outside Italy prepare the local part of their project with a written brief, agreed responsibilities and one accountable Italian counterpart.
Designed for cross-border projects
The service is prepared around the venue, schedule, audience and operating requirements of your project in Fiera Milano Rho and showrooms in the city.
Local delivery
Each request is assessed against real availability and confirmed only through a written quotation.
Welcome, qualifying and display supervision at Rho.
In the furniture halls the visitor touches, opens, sits down. You need supervision that protects the display without stiffening the atmosphere, and can tell in seconds the buyer from the curious visitor.
Brera, Tortona, 5Vie: the city is the second stand.
During design week the city spaces work long hours with continuous flows. We provide welcome, installation supervision, guest-list management and visitor assistance in showrooms and temporary spaces.
People who can say the designer’s name and the delivery time.
Profiles trained before opening on collections, materials, finishes and designers. They can tell a piece with the words approved by marketing and recognise when it’s time to pass the negotiation to a salesperson.
The most international week of the year in Milan.
Buyers, architects and press arrive from all over the world. We provide business interpreters and hostesses with language level verified at interview, prepared on the terminology of furniture and design.
After 6pm design week moves into the city.
Presentations, showroom cocktails, dinners for clients and press: we provide welcome, guest list, cloakroom and floor assistance, in the same register as the daytime display.
Two fronts, one contact and one quote.
The service that avoids the hardest part: managing two different teams in two different places. One team leader per front, a single contact for you, shifts and replacements coordinated across the whole week.
Remote preparation
Documents and briefing can be prepared remotely before the team or client arrives in Italy.
We define the two fronts — stand and city —, hours, expected flows, brand register and languages needed. This week, lead time is the factor that determines the quality of the team.
Profiles, headcount per front, hours, daily cost, any evenings and the total. Build days and evenings are separate, explicit items.
You get a shortlist with photo, experience, languages and availability. We option the chosen profiles well ahead, reserves included: in April in Milan the good staff don’t stay free.
Engagement, contracts, mandatory notifications, insurance and payments are on OPEN S.r.l. The company gets a single invoice for the whole week.
A briefing on your materials: collections, designers, finishes, the visitor journey, what can be touched and what can’t. With a visit to the display when timing allows.
A team leader on each front, daily roll-call, immediate replacements and an agency contact reachable from morning to the end of the evening events.
Attendance statement per front, collected contacts and a short note on what worked, useful to plan next edition as early as September.
