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...

 Not really offices exactly, but flexible spaces and products that move and change their place and function so that they can serve us better and  longer. Най-новото предложение за работно място, отговарящо на изискванията за присъствие на природата и използване на естествени и дълготрайни материали в обзавеждането на модерния офис – дизайн на работно място от известния японски дизайнер Naoto Fukasawa за KETTAL , представен на Панаира в Милано през април.

 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. From reducing energy consumption to systems that stimulate plant growth: inventions that reflect two of the main themes proposed by Euroluce 2023, smart lighting and human-centric lighting. “Electronics, multimedia and comp...

  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...

And the recently completed 61st edition of Salone del Mobile has successfully completed this task. We saw a lot of interesting new products, real solutions for a greener lifestyle and production, as well as the magic of Euroluce – the biannual lighting exhibition within the fair. photo @Temenouzhka Zaharieva Sustainability and the circular economy were once again the main themes for the Salone del Mobile Milano, the annual furniture exhibition, as well as the Fuorisalone, the many galleries, installations and events throughout the city.

*A translation of my article  in "More for the house" on-line magazine. Kitchen Geometrica design by Luca Nichetto for Scavolini  "The kitchen is the place in our home that best represents who we are and how our style and lifestyle have evolved over time," says renowned Italian designer Antonio Citterio. And not only that - during the past two years of restrictions we have realized that it is becoming more and more important to us. That's why it's useful to know what's new, what we can take advantage of. One of the most important sources of information on the subject is EUROCUCINA - the event dedicated to kitchen design at the Salone del Mobile fair in Milan. The first full-fledged edition of the fair, which took place in June, included both events that usually alternate every year: Eurocucina and the International Bathroom Exhibition. The idea was to present the novelties and trends that have been formed during the time of predominantly digital represen...
