Inspiration From the Coming Up Salone

As President Maria Porro says in an interview for Stylepark, Salone del Mobile is not just an international furniture trade fair, but a catalyst as well... it makes us think about the direction furniture design needs to take in the future." So, let's have a look at some inspiring new designs that I think may be a sign for that direction.

Art Deco and desire for luxury seem to be back again along with the global trend for real sustainability.

Just a few from the numerous new designs coming to Salone, but more news will follow soon.

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...

Supersalone shows what the international furniture fair should look like in the future *

* A translation of my article in "More for the house" photo Temenouzhka Zaharieva After more than a year of restrictions due to the pandemic, which excludes any exhibitions, trade fairs and events, and after several delays, the largest international event dedicated to furniture and interior design - the Milan Fair, although on unusual dates, is a fact. Supersalone , the special event of Salone del Mobile curated by Stefano Boeri took place from 5 to 10 September 2021. It proposed a new interesting format that shows what the international furniture fair should look like in the future - with a sustainable design, prevailing digital information, and a holistic approach. In just a few months, Salone del Mobile.Milano managed to organize and hold its special event, which gives hope for a fresh start. Of course, it was limited to the first four of the 24 pavilions at Fiera Milano, where 1,900 projects of almost 69,000 square meters were displayed. But this was actually the ...
