Every year the design show has a special theme. For this year, the theme of the show, "The surprising world of [Moroso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-upholstered-seating)" is based on a quote by Patrizia Moroso in Elena Commessati's book Cavalicco Friuli Mondo, "To be good, you have to be surprising. Innovative through and through, but that doesn't necessarily mean being unsettling. Surprising is the right word". The new design of the show will be introduced by Tord Boontje, Patricia Urquiola, Ron Arad, Ross Lovegrove and Tokujin Yoshioka. As you can see, the pieces are so colorful and joyful. Patricia Urquiola is the designer of the stand at the fair ground and Tord Boontje will transform Moroso's showroom into the 'The Little Wild Garden of Love' to showcase the new outdoor collection. The Milan design show is "THE" place to be if you are looking for [cutting edge design and future trends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindcraft-project). Waiting for more catchy pieces!
