SUSTAINABILITY
IN DESIGN
Sustainability has remained
a prominent trend in
design and architecture.
An exemplary, no-waste
exhibition was Carlo Ratti’s
The Circular Garden at
Orto Botanico di Brera.
Mushroom arches were
grown over six weeks, then
shown at Fuorisalone and
sown into the soil they
stood on. Paola Antonelli
curated La Triennale’s XXII
Triennale with the theme
Broken Nature: Design
Takes on Human Survival.
It features international
projects using design
solutions and will be on
display till September 2019.
GREENER PASTURES
The key trends on show
throughout Milan Design
Week 2019 and Euroluce
paid homage to nature
through unique lighting
designs from Artemide and
impressive installations.
Special emphasis was also
placed on eco-friendly and
sustainable products and
materials.
Design Concept:
Lighting fixtures with plants
and vertical greens in the
foreground.
It’s as good a time as
any to incorporate a few
houseplants into your home.
Picture beautiful and lush
houseplants with green
foliage in woven baskets in
your living room.A string
of pearls or devil’s ivy add
a dramatic touch to your
staircase. Go ahead and
channel your inner artistry
and have fun curating
them into your home. Here
are some ideas to get you
started:
- Debuting
for the first time
at Euroluce,
Ukrainian
design studio

collection of
handmade
ceramic lights
amidst plenty of
green foliage in
their booth! - Carlo Ratti’s

arches. - This
inspiring
Botanical
Frame from

adds a three-
dimensional,
“pop-up” art

styles. This
is achievable
through a moss
frame workshop
held by Ronnie
