Since yesterday, photographer Thomas Kunz and I have been travelling around Milan for the "Salone del Mobile" furniture fair. Take a look at today's pictures and follow us. We will continue to feed this article with further updates - to be continued.
Better together
The Scandinavian label Menu is showing its new products collectively with other brands this year. For example Tubes, which in my opinion produces the most beautiful radiators. At first glance, they are not recognisable as such. The radiators look more like decorative objects for the wall.
Handmade
The trend towards handmade items continues. Artist Malwina Kleparska creates organic objects from stoneware clay. Even if the ceramic objects look like sculptures, they have a function: they serve as vases or candlesticks.
The return to traditional craftsmanship is also evident in leather goods. One example of this is the exhibition by Spanish fashion company Loewe. It has challenged weavers from all over the world to create modern baskets for it using a new material - leather.
Raw material
The exhibition concept of the French company Hermès presents its home collection in a particularly unusual way: a walk through a labyrinth leads past the individual designs and arouses curiosity about what comes next. The individual walls are made of dried stone walls. They create a link between nature and our culture.
The hipsters of the interior scene: Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran
Every year, the two interior designers from Dimore Studio come up with something new for the trade fair: This time, they have invited designer Gabriella Crespi to exhibit in their rooms. The Italian designer's designs are known for being at the interface between product design and art. Her collection will therefore be artistically staged and displayed alongside sandy landscapes.
