Year after year, the Milan Furniture Fair stands as a cornerstone in the design world, and this year, we had the privilege of experiencing it through the eyes of our friend and collaborator, Louis Berger. Attending the Salone del Mobile Milano presents an invaluable opportunity to connect with designers, suppliers, and peers in the industry, while also cultivating new relationships and adding exciting products to our furniture collection. Hosted at the Rho Fiera fairgrounds from April 16-21, this year’s Salone Milano showcased thought-provoking and innovative furniture designs from global designers. Unlike the past editions dominated by earth tones and safe designs, this year’s fair emphasized bold aesthetics, ingenuity, and sustainability, featuring materials that are kind to our planet. Over the next few days, we will share the stunning visuals captured by Louis Berger, highlighting the spectacle of this event and why missing it means missing out on a key fixture in the design calendar if you're not in Italy in April. Documentation was conducted at the following locations and exhibits: ADI Museum - Salone Exhibitions Aesop - Form Follow Formulation Audi - Reflaction BMW - Neue Klasse Bottega Veneta - Cassina x LeCorbusier Dibbern - Showcase 2024 Emeco to Emeco - Special Exhibition Flos - New Products 2024 #design #designeducation #industrialdesign #furniture #salonedelmobile

In the contemporary landscape of creativity, we are witnessing a dynamic fusion of art, design, and fashion, where traditional boundaries blur to make way for innovative collaborations. These unexpected partnerships seamlessly marry artistic expression with functionality and aesthetics, thus opening up new perspectives and elevating the concept of design to unprecedented levels. An illustrative example of this creative convergence can be seen through emblematic spaces such as Kith in Paris. This venue transcends the mere framework of a clothing store to become a veritable temple of streetwear culture, where art, design, and fashion coexist to offer an immersive experience. Additionally, artists like Daniel Arsham offer highly interesting collaborations blending design and fashion, such as his partnership with the luxury luggage brand Rimowa. However, certain brands also aim to emphasize sustainable aesthetics, as Stella McCartney and B&B Italia have done by creating a collection of interior design furniture that is elegant and environmentally friendly. As we delve into this stimulating fusion of art, design, and fashion, the arrival of Milan Design Week invites us to significantly project ourselves onto this prestigious event, which brings together the brightest minds and the most innovative creations. It presents a unique opportunity to discover new daring collaborations and immerse ourselves in a world where creativity knows no bounds. #Luxury #Advisory #DesignWeek

Chromatic diversity. As I highlighted in some previous content in this section, our city regularly offers surprises and new projects to discover. Milan has effectively become a leading European capital, rich in cultural and entertainment aspects, in addition to fashion, design, and food. Contraste has been closed for a few years and now reopens with an interior design project that, at first glance, has a lot of theatrical elements. What stands out the most is the chromatic diversity: five rooms with contrasting colors, yet very harmonious in their entirety, generating visual emotions. Each room is inspired by one of the four elements and has been designed by transforming 19th-century vedutism into a puzzle. Thus, among the symbols of water, light, earth, and air, striking elements and unexpected details appear to stimulate and surprise the guest during meals. 🙌 What’s your take? # 340 INTERIORS, Italy 👉 More content on our website and subscribe to the weekly newsletter; the link to the featured news is in the first comment below. 🎯 If you want to learn more about our transformative approach to generating growth (yes, what we call innovation marketing!), feel free to write me privately.

As we navigated through the curated displays, we couldn't help but marvel at the seamless fusion of tradition and innovation. Join us as we unravel the stories behind the brands shaping the future of design. Trends we spotted: Furnishings in muted browns, beiges and greens that promise to deliver cosiness and warmth. Natural materials like leather and travertine are given new energy and subtle forms are coming out strong against more expressive fare. #SaloneDelMobile #DesignTrends2024 #InnovationInDesign #Liang&Eimil #BritishDesign #Luxury #Interiors

MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2024 Have you returned from the Milan fair somewhat disappointed? because the big push for innovation didn’t happen and many things caused a "seen before”? Once you start looking at it in a bigger context, it will make better sense. After a brilliant 2018 trade fair, it fell victim to the pandemic in 2020. The 2022 edition then was manageable in terms of visitor and exhibitor numbers. Many decided to not go and wait. This year's edition was the first to feature pre-pandemic conditions and a chance of the designers and companies to show again what had been developed in the last few years. More precise figures and in-depth analysis, an overview of what I saw, context to previous editions and an outlook on possible future innovations in the decor sector will be available in my trade fair report. Happy to send you more information. #salonedelmobile #milandesignweek24 #mdw24 #fuorisalone #alcova2024 #alcova #breradesigndistrict #colourtrends2024 #colortrends2024 #designinspiration #colourinspiration #textureinspiration #decordesign #patterndesign #designinteriors #designtrends #cmf #cmf_design #evahoernischinsights #evahoernischdesign

🌟 Salone del Mobile.Milano 2024: A Review Where Innovation Meets Art 🌟 The curtains have closed on Salone del Mobile.Milano, affirming once again that it's more than just a furniture fair; it’s a celebration of design artistry and a preview of the future of interior design. Here are my thoughts and insights on the standout innovations and creative expressions showcased this year. 🆕 A New Era of Design Philosophy It was evident that many exhibitors are moving beyond merely presenting products. Instead, they focused on the journey behind the design and development of each piece. This deeper engagement with the "why" and "how" provides a fascinating perspective on the objects that enrich our daily lives. 🚘 Automakers Venture into Home Decor Brands like Bentley Genève and BUGATTI showed us how automotive design can inspire exquisite home decor. Their furniture collections not only reflect the elegance and prestige of their vehicles but also the materials and craftsmanship synonymous with their luxury cars. This approach creates a synergistic relationship between their automobiles and living spaces. 🌳 Sustainability Takes Center Stage Sustainability is no longer a trend—it's a necessity. It was impressive to see how traditional production methods are being rethought and redesigned to incorporate more environmentally friendly solutions. Replacing conventional plastics with sustainable materials was a recurring theme, demonstrating the industry's serious commitment to environmental responsibility. 👨🎨 Individuality Remains Supreme Despite the push for greater sustainability and new approaches, the desire for individualization is stronger than ever. Manufacturers like Lapalma Design allow customers to create their unique pieces by combining different modules and colors. This flexibility enhances the bond between product and consumer and fosters user creativity. 🏫 Academic Influences It wasn't just commercial enterprises that made impressive contributions. Academic institutions like Hochschule Pforzheim - Gestaltung, Technik, Wirtschaft und Recht University, led by Elisabeth Klug and her classmates, presented exciting thesis projects focused on sustainable production. Such academic contributions are vital as they provide the theoretical foundations for future sustainable innovations. Salone del Mobile.Milano 2024 was more than just a product exhibition; it was a profound experience that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible and redefines how we think about the spaces we live and work in. I’m excited to see how these new ideas will materialize in the years to come. #SaloneDelMobile #DesignInnovation #Sustainability #InteriorDesign
