Не е ли иронично, че всички медии, коментиращи тенденциите за новата година в интериора, говорят само за две неща – цвят на годината и (по-рядко) станалата вече задължителна устойчивост. Да, има много допирни точки с модата, където цветът е особено важен, но докато лесно можем да обнововяваме гардероба си ежегодно, то в интериора нещата не стоят така. Защото ако първото означава моден цвят конкретно за годината, то под устойчивост в дизайна вече все по-често се налага разбирането за дълготрайно качество , което ще продължи далеч отвъд модата – т.е. две донякъде взаимно-изключващи се тенденции.   По-интересно – и полезно – би било да разглеждаме тенденциите като посока за ориентация, защото, както се казва в една стара сентенция, „Т енденциите следват нашата посока на мислене, изразявайки настроението на настоящето и стила на бъдещето.“ А те се усещат най-добре от талантливите дизайнери, които демонстрират идеите си по време на големите международни изложения. Още в началото...

 One of the main highlights of this year's edition of the world's largest design exhibition, Salone del Mobile , was the return of Euroluce - the biennial dedicated to lighting - after a four-year hiatus. For its 31st edition, Euroluce presented the works of 315 exhibitors (almost half of which from outside Italy) on an area of more than 29,200 m2 and with a new exhibition design designed by Lombardini22. Italamp - PIOLA, design Danilo De Rossi, photo Temenouzhka Zaharieva Art and functionality were beautifully mixed at Euroluce 2023 (as can be seen for example in the photo above – a beautiful way to separate space with the help of light). Innovative projects were presented with a focus on lighting that improves the well-being of people and the environment.

  Moooi - Knitty Lounge Chair, design Nika Zupanc What do you get when you gather the world's most innovative designers, architects and creatives in one place? The answer is Salone del Mobile. Here are the main trends presented at the exhibition in Milan this year. Of course, first is the inevitable topic of sustainability, but no longer just formally, like "correct" speaking, but with real examples that do not compromise with aesthetics. Reuse, regeneration, circularity and energy saving are at the heart of the event, but attention is also paid to the sources of materials, new installations that can be dismantled and reused, innovative production methods and products designed with a circular approach. And durability of products: “The word sustainability is often overused and inappropriate. As designers, we have to work hard to produce objects and products that will really stand the test of time," says designer Piero Lissoni, explaining that rather durability and the...
