Previous week, the world of interior designed focused on Milan fair iSaloni 2017. If you are an interior designer or a design lover iSaloni is the place to be. Over 2.000 exhibitors on more than 200.000 m2 of space exhibited their wide diversity of product and this year was no different from the previous, Salone del mobile continues to impress and deliver crème de la crème of Italian furniture. We present to you our reflection on the event.
We could spot mostly calm tones of earthy greens and taupes, which created a relaxing atmosphere. It was all about pale pastels in the comfortable range, characterized by light pinks, blues, and greens that made the smallest of spaces pop. Muted shades were the choice of this year’s fair.
Bright and vivid colours were chosen to add greatness and enhancement to the ambience. Most of the exhibitor privileged red, yellow and orange colour in addition to light wooden surfaces, minimalistic stone or monochromatic colours. In picture bellow, a L'Abbate stand.
Bronze, Copper, Golden or silver details were incorporated and mixed with softer surfaces such as velvet or mohair, and with prestigious Carrara or Nero Marquine. Metals accents spiced up the interiors and made them infinitely glamourous, as seen in Quinti Sedute booth.
Lightning collection was a focus group this year. Astonishing textures, advanced materials, and innovative shapes with several brightness grades, combine to form either translucent and ethereal objects, others with layers that let the light filter through in different intensities or even quite blunt ones, with simple architectonical look or more avant-garde, almost like a sculptures with integrated light.
A definite eye-catcher was a booth of Spanish light producer Arturo Alvarez. They create unique handmade lighting inspired by the nature and by relations between human beings. Lamps are of unique material called SIMETECH®, innovation created by Arturo Álvarez and was recognized in New York with a Best Of Year Award by the prestigious magazine Interior Design in the category of “Innovative translucent shading/lighting”.
The LED technology is today the protagonist in decorative lighting. Used, until few years ago, only in recessed spotlights or in the garden floodlights, now the led is the main light requested by consumers. Companies in the sector of lightning are exploring the world of Led light, trying to combine technology, visual comfort and style. One of the companies that is achieving excellent results is Prandina
On a field of outdoor furniture, the was a brand which was a "must see" of this years fair. Vondom pieces transform the simplest space into an ambiance filled with glamour, both unique and extraordinary. Fresh design, innovative products, which give spaces a new dimension.
As always, Kartell faschinated us with their uniqe stand, exhibiting timeless pieces, designed by world famous designers such as Philipe Starck, Patricia Urquiola and others.
