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.

Pacific is the continuation of a design process begun in 2010 with the iconic Redondo collection by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso:

Soft lines and curves everywhere, too.

GIULIA, a new kitchen, completely handmade with a very high component of technology and home automation, design by Luca Mattoni who "wanted to take the kitchen concept even further, conceived as a design object capable of changing the face of the environment in which it is located. A kitchen that reinterprets the standard idea of how this space is lived: it becomes a convivial place to be integrated into any room of the house."

Also, I am looking forward to see is the project Design with Nature that is expected show "that we can find a different way of building and creating products in conjunction with nature, without continuing to consume raw materials, but by triggering virtuous ecological behaviors", as well as so many other interesting new designs and ideas!

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

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...

My Interview for Interior Deluxe

INTERVIEW TEMENOUZHKA ZAHARIEVA By Ingo Schaer Interior Deluxe talked to Temenouzhka Zaharieva, an Interior Designer from Sofia, about Living Room Lighting and How to create a good mood in your living space by using great lighting. Interior-Deluxe: What’s important to keep in mind when lighting a living room ? TZ: Lighting is one of the most exciting elements of interior design, and yet one that can still be neglected. Especially by clients, mostly because they are not aware of the many possibilities that lighting can bring to the overall impact of a room – both, during the day when not switched on, but it can be a great accent piece with its design, and in the darkness of the night when we can create different moods just with the help of lighting. The old days of the single pendant light in the middle of the room are becoming a distant memory, a g ood living room lighting today means a good mix of lighti...
