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.

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.

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.

 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.
