Milan Design Week has once again reshaped our vision of design beyond a mere showcase. It’s a full-blown design journey with multiple locations, each deserving a spotlight. Here's a snapshot: 🔴 Lombardini22’s brainy approach made pavilion navigation intuitively shorter – efficiency meets design. 🔴 David Lynch's A Thinking Room immersed us in a mystic union of film and furniture, proving every interior detail counts. 🔴 A culinary-design fusion at the kitchen biennale drew us into the future of natural ingredients (Pro tip: don't go on an empty stomach!). 🔴 The bathroom exhibit Under the Surface rippled our thoughts about water's fragility and its environmental impact. 🔴 And Samsung's AI-powered oven redefined cooking, promising a glance into a smarter future. Should you visit Milan? Absolutely. It’s a conversation starter on creativity, sustainability, and innovation – design as a tool for caring and connecting in our crazy world. Eco-responsibility, resource conservation, waste reduction, and wise consumption were themes close to my heart. As for the beauty and inspiration – words just fall short. #salonedelmobile2024 #milanodesignweek #underthesurface #milan

The Volkskrant reports that famous Dutch furniture brand Pastoe has closed its production. In 2010, Pastoe made this chair for Ecological Textiles and our partners NPSP Composites, Van Wees and Van de Bilt from a biocomposite based on flax fibres (instead of the glass fibres usually used). A typical minimalist Pastoe design, in this case by Maarten van Severen. The chair was made for an exhibition entitled Sustainable House. This expo was about how an interior designer could take into account themes such as the environment and sustainability. Back then, microplastics in furniture fabrics or environmentally harmful finishes where hardly an issue. We are almost 15 years on but the question remains topical... #biocomposites #materialinnovation #linen

Embracing Verdant Luxury: The Elegance of Indoor Plants in Opulent Interiors In the realm of high-end design, the integration of indoor plants is more than a mere nod to nature—it's a sophisticated dance between the cultivated and the wild, a statement of elegance that breathes life into luxurious spaces. The Green Aesthetic The allure of lush foliage is undeniable. The right selection of indoor plants can transform a static space into a living tableau, vibrant with vitality. From the sculptural grace of a bonsai to the cascading tendrils of an ivy, plants add a layer of texture and color that complements the rich materials often found in luxury interiors. Health and Harmony Beyond aesthetics, bringing indoor plants into the fold of high-end design is about creating harmony. Plants are known to purify the air, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being, making them not just decor but a contributor to the health and comfort of the residents. Strategic Placement for Maximum Impact The strategic placement of plants can accentuate architectural features, create natural dividers, or serve as the focal point in a room. Whether it's a statement tree in a grand entrance or a collection of succulents on a marble countertop, the placement is as crucial as the plant selection. Tailored Plant Selection The choice of plants in luxury spaces is tailored to the environment and client preferences. Low-maintenance varieties might be favored for their ease of care, while exotic species might be chosen for their rarity and unique beauty. Conclusion: A Lush Perspective on Luxury The integration of indoor plants into luxury spaces is a testament to the evolving definition of opulence. It reflects a desire to create environments that are not only visually stunning but also nurturing and life-affirming. It is, indeed, the renaissance of green luxury. #theelitehomemag #NatureInDesign #GreenLuxury
