For the 55th time, the Milan furniture fair invited visitors to marvel at the upcoming home and furniture trends. From classic to ultra-modern, the "Salone del Mobile" trade fair had everything the furniture heart desires. Two product managers from the "Home & Living" team have gathered their impressions.
Urban Jungle: eye-catching plant prints on textiles
In addition to a variety of flora in the living room, the focus is also on plant prints, or more precisely, leaf prints on decorative cushions, blankets and even upholstered furniture
.
Trend materials: Marble and walnut wood
Stone tops on side and dining tables are now available in other colours. It is not uncommon to see the trend materials walnut wood and marble together.
Upholstered furniture: Tradition and modernity
Modular upholstered furniture in the colours petrol, red, blue and green are on the rise. Sometimes also in combination with visible wooden frames. In general, reinterpretations of classics are booming: sofas are becoming smaller again, just like in the late forties and fifties. Sometimes even with velvet or velour covers.
Used look: hot-dip galvanised tubes and vintage leather
Sitting and reclining furniture is made from vintage leather, while shelves and lights are made from hot-dip galvanised plumbing pipes: The mix of materials has a raw character. These objects are likely to appeal to fans of the industrial living style.
On the road for you: product managers Timo Hadaschik and Lorenz Misteli.

lorenz.misteli@digitecgalaxus.chI get out of peace about as fast as the Zytglogge from Bern to Zurich. Despite the pleasant cosiness, I like to travel at home and abroad to discover and share with you the latest trends and highlights in bedroom, living room and office furniture. I am especially a fan of my unusual sofas from Kare and Innovation. In my spare time I spend a lot of time with friends, socialize with good food or let myself be carried through the nightlife to the sounds of electronic music.
