alone del Mobile 2019
exhibits an impressive
show of support to
mother nature, with individual
design studios and brands
showcasing inspiring ways
for incorporating greens into
the home. We also observed a
pronounced appreciation for
natural veins in marble and
patterned Terrazzos. Designers
have embraced sustainable and
raw materials, handcrafted
furniture and textured textiles
with aplomb. The 58th edition
of Salone del Mobile also
placed emphasis on perfect
forms, architectural shapes,
and technological designs, all
displayed in inspiring ways
reflected by the individual
booths, installations, and pop
up stores exhibited within
and without Fiera Milano.TRENDS FROM MILAN’S
2019 FURNITURE FAIR
Milan Design Week 2019
wasn’t radically different from
2018’s, with some trends that
had developed, while others
burned out. There were fewer
examples of leather and fur,
as brands shift to responsibly
sourced materials with fewer
wasteful processes. Eco-
conscious and sustainablematerials, sculptural shapes
and technology-crafted designs
were still big in this edition.
Brands chose many
colours, ranging from pastels
to vibrant shades. Muted hues
set the scene at Brera Design
Apartment, alongside soft
textures at Planetario, a project
by Cristina Celestino for
Besana Carpet Lab.
Bolder colours were
displayed at The Cassina
Perspective, a new
catalogue by Cassina at
its Milano showroom.
Here, we have picked out
a range of exciting products
available on the market
