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

MDW: Giorgetti opens up new sources of stimulation Contamination, technological research and craftmanship come together in the 2024 Giorgetti collection. Sophisticated designs take into account evolving lifestyles that open up new sources of stimulation and cosmopolitan viewpoints. A celebration of the joy of living and of creativity, from design to art, from sensorial experiences to illustrations is on show at Giorgetti’s Spiga – The Place showroom. In keeping with its roots, Giorgetti widened its scope to encompass a broad horizon that sweeps from East to West and embraces new languages, culture and points of view. This conceptual and literal journey includes new creative collaborations and prestigious openings of flagship showrooms around the world. ‘The 2024 Collection that we are presenting is the culmination of the endless energy that has gone into ensuring that once again we make a tangible statement of the contemporary evolution that our brand has undergone in recent years. An evolution that again starts from materials, some of which are quite unusual for us, and from an ongoing dialogue between technology and craftmanship. As always, this dialogue, along with the combination of materials, expresses the distinctive characteristics of “The Giorgetti Project” which have guided the language of our brand for 126 years, ie quality, a passion for details and sophisticate elegance,’ says Giovanni del Vecchio, Giorgetti Group ceo. The 2024 new products embody this approach and are testimony to the brand’s ability to interpret contemporary needs through a perfect balance between functionality and elegance. The transformation of living spaces into more flexible, multi-tasking places is manifested in collections designed for a range of contexts and requirements, from the warmth of a domestic interior to the restraints of an executive office environment, through to the carefree atmosphere of an al fresco setting. https://lnkd.in/e_dvx_VN #furniture #furnitureindustry #furniturecollection

"Ciao from Milano. This is a greet from Salone del Mobile.Milano and Eurocucina. It is a fantastic fair with ten tousands of people that came to Milano. And it's really a pleasure to be here..." A visit to the international furniture fair in Milan feels like being at a stadium concert by Coldplay, AC/DC, Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran. Or all of them at the same time. You meet thousands of happy people who have all been looking forward to this event and are enjoying it to the full. There are no music icons to be seen or heard here, but there is the best furniture in the world and a lot of spectacular presentations. But #furniture #design is not only to be found on the exhibition grounds. The river of visitors also flows right through the city center of the design metropolis of Milan. You have to experience it... If you fancy getting caught up in the hype: the Milan Furniture Fair runs until Sunday, April 21. And the fair is also open to end consumers at the weekend. So off you go to #italy. Milan is always worth a visit... #eurocucina #milano #italy #design #designthinking #trends #abouttrends #future #transformation #work #newwork #home #creativity #art #architecture #interiordesign #kitchen #furniture #furnituredesign #brands #brandexperience #purpose #aboutpurpose #purposedriven #human #humanunlimited

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

Great design for your outdoor projects 👍

Valuable Insights From Salone del Mobile.Milano 2024 As this inspiring edition of Salone del Mobile Milano has come to an end, we’re thrilled to reflect on one of the most intriguing trends that has captured our attention: dynamic spacing and design. Dynamic spacing is more than a design principle: it's a response to our evolving needs and aspirations for flexibility in today’s rapidly changing world. Every space can serve as a starting point for innovation and involve sustainability personally and publicly. We find ourselves motivated by seeing how the design community is actively driving changes. Our enduring commitment to innovation and versatile design has been steadfast since the beginning and positions us as pioneers in this emerging trend. The dynamic world around us challenges our adaptability to craft new experiences, whether it be within the comfort of our own homes, the functionality of our offices, or the vibrancy of public spaces. We're looking forward to developing potential partnerships and creative alliances with the prospects we met at this leading design fair. #SalonedelMobile2024 #salonedelmobile #MilanDesignWeek #MadeInItaly #InteriorDesign #DynamicSpace #SustainableDesign #KidsFurniture #LoungeFurniture #SustainableFurniture #ecoBirdy

💡Every so often, an idea emerges that reshapes the way we think about our spaces. This year, at the Salone del Mobile Milano, our booth didn't just stand out; it redefined what's possible. Meticulously designed and crafted, it became more than just a structure—it was a portal to possibilities. Here, in the buzz of the world's most famous design and furniture fair, people from across the globe witnessed the revolutionary +Comfort Bed and +Motion Wall come to life. As we've navigated the first three exhilarating days, the response has been nothing short of inspiring. Hundreds of conversations with designers, industry professionals, and home enthusiasts have sparked insights and excitement about how we can better inhabit our increasingly compact living environments. In these times, when the square footage of our homes demands as much innovation as the technology within them, the +Comfort and +Motion stand as beacons of change. The debut of the new booth on this global stage isn't just about smart furniture; it's about crafting futures where space is no longer a limitation but a canvas for creativity and comfort. And as spaces grow smaller and the stakes higher, Add Rest is here, ensuring your home evolves right alongside your dreams. #spacesreimagined #ADDrest
