Best of design trends Alessandro Remedi second

I go down breathless as usual, George has come to take me with her to make an ironic contrast to the enormous and austere machine that will take us all these days of Fuori Salone 2011. Before we in the Zona Tortona, We make a stop in via Vivarini and I expect Mammoli Ivan Lolli and Mario, two adorable and highly skilled designers, engraving crystals with octagonal lamps resulting in highly refined and entirely “hand sewn”.
The new collection is truly beautiful, soft colors, from cream to tobacco, shine elegantly resting on rigid structures. I congratulate you and say goodbye with the promise of a dinner. We move to the Zona Tortona and as soon as you cross the threshold, is already an air of genuine democracy, a Living Out of that is really for everyone, mothers with children sitting on the sidewalk with an ice cream in hand, beginning students and full of dreams, designers run-in, bespectacled architects – usually oval or round glasses-wearing people with strange colors and harmonic combinations. An air of creativity, without conditions or commodification, really liberating.

I refrain from Mooi more than necessary. A series of chairs, fluorescent colors and bolts with contrasting colors, evoking the Gothic made contemporary with linear shapes, large back ground adorned with Renaissance prints, illustrating the collection, the classic table lamp in natural wood over size is simply only. This brand founded in 2001 by Marcel Wanders Camper Vissers and was able to clearly emerge with a core of strong decorative imprint. In the sunny courtyard next to Mooi, there are two other presentations. The first attracts me to the big pink sofa in linen unmistakable mark of Paola Navone. But also, a series of sofas and armchairs in natural linen pillows with layers of low vaguely Eastern, along with “Coffee Tables” also designed by Paola Navone for Linteloo. Then I head towards the third and last presentation, I am drawn to the written ECO GREEN. The area is home to a number of craftsmen designers adhering to the theme of eco sustainable. A Sardinian designer: Ilaria Innocenti shows me a large collection of textiles for the table, pottery and Murano glass, Designed keeping the ancestral roots in Sardinia, made today not only by a rigorous design and modern but also environmentally friendly.

Through the halls of this multifaceted space and I hit the wall paintings in pop-up paper of The Mistress of Spices. A series ironic, evocative of the animal and plant illustrated in a fun way.
I head Nespresso where I was expecting a “mini museum iconic pieces edited in recent years, which marked a change, remain etched in our memory as true icons, from steel candle holders Dryad the chairs of DefaultingBut also Marino and Marina, the two characters in Murano blown glass designed by Paola Navone for Barovier and Toso. The pieces are overwhelmed by the immense chandelier Jacopo Foggini, well-made 25 000 Nespresso coffee capsules, thus recalling the 25 years of the brand. Via Tortona 31, the presentation notes Kitchen Whirlpool illustrates a combination of hot / cold very efficient kitchens are combined with the majestic Caltagirone ceramics. The next door indicates Think Green / Vitamin Design and I choose to photograph this collection of tables of natural wood combined with vitamin tissues that cover the legs. Wood and Color is one of the strongest themes of this day at the Fuori Salone. A theme that I find from Devon & Devon whose exceptional are the wooden hand-painted with very vibrant colors for wood floors unusual.

I discover a new line but already known: Artbeat, a series of art pieces available, which aims to bring art out of galleries introducing it in the home, enabling artists to promote their art, addressing a wider audience through a series of art objects, decorative and playful as the 22 toys in hand-painted ceramics. I went toward Superstudio more, Intrigued by the presentation of Alcantara, whose exhibition was curated by Giulio Cappellini and Paola Navone … A myriad of lamps, armchairs, sofas, Hi-covered pad Alcantara and accompanied by other icons, like the dishes by Paola Navone for Richard Ginori which give a comprehensive presentation on the contrasts of ceramics in this case, but also of wood, steel and other materials. AQUA CREATION emphasizes the inspiration to origami, already present in other brands and applied to the manufacture of tissue lining the seats rather than the appliques of the lamps.
Of young designers abroad, the Swedish Designers have proven creative, eclectic and refined.
The stool in the chain “collection in the chain of Thefiftyfifty Projects, textiles and hand-brushed in bright colors, porcelain, hand-decorated with a few colorful butterflies, ceramic pots shaped diamond show the versatility of these designers.

The theme of the diamond, is also developed by Alberto Biagetti that inspired the solid and protective walls of the Renaissance, has designed a collection of 39 unique items such as treasure chests that are actualized in the bare denials of a closet, a dresser and so on. All strictly hand-painted. And finally the magic presentation Trees of Life, curated by architect Maurizio Favetta, Does not change the ecological vocation of this historical period where the design shows a large sensitivity to the well-being, whereas other designers have attempted to interpret nature through materials such as marble Zanet Bruno, applied to the digital mosaic ceramic and moss turn, but the island olfactory made spectacular wooden panels of Tabu perfume. Date back in the car and try to synthesize a myriad of images in a few but incisive trend themes: bright colors, sometimes acid, combined with natural woods, the Green and sensitivity to the environment, sustainable eco fabrics, chandeliers and redundant link to all that is in nature like leaves, flowers … But the origami, and spearheads, and why not pop up paper art and design objects to play. As if to emphasize a return to origins, to the playfulness and spontaneity and truth of a life more easy going.
