60th Salone del Mobile.Milano - the same and different

The much expected 60th Salone del Mobile.Milano will be held, as announced earlier, between Tuesday 7th to Sunday 12th of June this year. There will be continuity with “supersalone”, especially as far as sustainability is concerned, but what are the novelties?

*There will be stands: "Finally this year, after two long years, we are able to build those worlds that can only come alive at the Salone del Mobile.Milano. Our companies are starting with a blank sheet, designing genuine total living ambiances, with incredible freedom of expression, making for new solutions year after year", explains president Maria Porro in an interview by Cristina Kiran Piotti.

*"We will have a “no brand” space, an investment by the Salone del Mobile.Milano in a project on the future of sustainability, furnishing and materials, which has been assigned to a leading architect who has stood out for their meticulous approach to the issue – I can’t reveal their name yet."

*"There will be an event at La Scala and a large exhibition at Palazzo Reale – an interactive installation that is a gift from the Salone del Mobile.Milano to the city, which will run for two weeks."

*New development as regards SaloneSatellite - "We have decided to locate it at the start of the fair, to give it even greater prominence. It will also be free to visit, obviating the need for tickets to the fair, and will feature an extremely interesting project on the theme of inclusive design."

I suppose that these are just a few of the novelties that are expected for the 2022 Salone del Mobile.Milano which will celebrate this year a major anniversary - its 60th edition! - and we all are eager to see them :)

My home is my fortress, my office, my gym ...*

Undoubtedly, 2020 will go down in history as the year in which (almost) we all moved our workplace home. The world we live in, and with it the world of design, is changing at a dizzying rate. And all together we are trying to catch up with the changes, each one in his own way. We learn to live mostly online, while rediscovering some abandoned ways of communicating, such as walking and long phone conversations or communicating in a very small circle. In recent months, we had also to get used to an unexpected development of one of the major global trends - from living in a globalized to living in a local, microworld. With periods of forced closure, our home has become a refuge from the uncertain world outside and a stage for all activities in everyday life. It is no longer a place to cross, but a "base camp". We have learned to appreciate again the importance of the home environment, the yard, the balcony and the garden. And we quickly had to think about what we like in our ho...

"More is more" is the unspoken motto of this year's exhibition in Milan*

As any good creative will tell you, if you want to see what's next in the world of design, you have to start in Milan first. From a personal perspective, for each visitor Milan Design Week in April is an experience full of emotions, discoveries and inspirations, and for each designer and manufacturer, Salone del Mobile is a valuable opportunity to show the world their ideas and achievements. Salone del Mobile, furniture and interior design industry,s largest global event, as well as Fuorisalone with the vast majority of events outside the boundaries of Rho Fiera, and Milan Design Week in general has always acted as the annual showcase forming a compass for trends over the next 12 months, but also about the direction of design in the long term. During this week every year, visitors from all over the world are immersed in a sea of presentations, products, collections, events, meetings, dinners and parties, and it is impossible to cover even half of all the novelties. Bu...

За тенденциите, модата и „мебелите със съзнателна душа“ *

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...
