Last month our researchers attended the biggest European trade show of the furniture and interiors calendar, Salone del Mobile. As part of Milan Design Week 2015, we also saw the return of the lighting hall Euroluce, and the debut of the first ever Kids’ Design Week (read more).
Here we share our highlights from the show.
1. Glass and mirrored surfaces were a central focus this year. Iridescent and coloured effects were key as well as opaque finishing. Not only used for vases, lamps and small objects but also for cabinets, tables and shelves.
2. Industrial metals like steel and aluminium were key in both their raw state as well as painted in bright primary colours. Folding and perforating techniques were used to create dynamic structural effects.
3. Food and drink were a pivotal themes for designers, redefining the products we traditionally expect to see in the kitchen and dining room.
4. Chaotic and colourful pattern designs were a fresh update after several seasons of low-key surface pattern.
