Notes From Milan
Salone del Mobile and Milan Design Week Insights
Milan left strong traces for the design world. We’ve gathered our notes from Salone del Mobile and Milan Design Week for you.
01. Natural Tones Are Back
Nature inspired tones and natural textures have created a calm and balanced feeling, combining greens and mineral blues with warm contrasts.
02. Bold Accents
Bold accent colors like red, burgundy, and orange add energy to spaces while neutral tones maintain balance and create a calm background.
03. Soft Forms, Fluid Shapes
Clean, fluid presentations with nostalgic and modular elements, while darker tones define technology displays.
04. Layered Design
Layered and textured designs combine soft forms with natural inspiration to create a rich and expressive sense of story.
05. Material and Light
Raw wood, marble and stone surfaces, along with ceramic and clay textures, take on a more refined language, while soft light and shadow enhance the atmosphere and overall design impact.
06. Milan Design Week
Tactile materials, softened industrial forms, and the blend of nature and craft create a more sensory design language.
07. Milan Design Week
On a global scale, how a product is presented is now just as important as the product itself.
