6 KEY POINTS TO THE MILAN MOBILE EXHIBITION ACCORDING TO GUNNI & TRENTINO
6 key points of Milan's Salone di Mobile, according to Gunni & Trentino
The 70s are reinvented: with a contemporary and sustainable approach.
The connection with nature and the retro aesthetic of the 1970s combine in interiors that evoke nostalgia with a contemporary and sustainable approach. Warm colors like mustard, terracotta, and olive green blend with Mediterranean hues and timeless neutrals. Metallic finishes and lighting that mimics natural cycles reinforce this harmony between past, present, and future.
Organic and voluptuous shapes.
Rounded shapes predominate in today's furniture, providing warmth and an enveloping aesthetic. Curved sofas, sculptural armchairs, and soft-lined tables transform spaces into cozy and sophisticated environments. An organic design that adds personality and reinforces the emotional connection with each setting.
Technology integrated into the design.
Technology is discreetly integrated into the design, creating smart and aesthetically harmonious spaces. Invisible home automation solutions, adaptive lighting, and furniture with advanced features like chargers or hidden sound systems elevate the contemporary home experience with sophistication and functionality.
Sustainable aesthetics with natural materials.
Sustainability redefines contemporary aesthetics with responsible materials such as recycled wood, bamboo, rattan, and organic textiles. A new form of design where ecological awareness and sophistication go hand in hand.
Fusion between art and design.
Collaboration between artists and designers is growing ever closer, giving rise to creations that transcend functionality. An iconic example was Robert Wilson's Mother installation at the Castello Sforzesco, a sensorial experience that combined light, sculpture, and references to classical art in a historic setting.
The grand return of the star.
Ceiling lamps are regaining their central role as authentic light sculptures. At Euroluce, brands such as Martinelli Luce, Lee Broom, and Flos set the trend with designs with a strong aesthetic presence. One of the highlights was Ronan Bouroullec's presentation with Flos, where his luminaire—a poetic and ethereal piece—reinterprets light as an artistic gesture suspended in the air. These creations not only illuminate, but also define the character of the space.
