Salone del Mobile di Milano
I knew the beauty, the quality and the innovation I would find in every booth would mesmerize me but, deliberately I didn’t want to know much more than this. I did not want to make a plan. Visit this fair was a dream and I simply wanted to be a kid in Disneyland!
The thing is that the event is not big. It is beyond huge and it is humanly impossible to see everything that the more than 2.000 exhibitors have to offer. Between established and emerging designers, the event covers all trends and launches in kitchens, bathrooms and in the main category it splits into classic, design and xLux unveiling the latest in bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and all pieces of furniture and décor.
I could have wandered only through the main category pavilions for weeks, and if in one hand what I saw was much better than my dreams, on the other hand, I will surely come back and definitely spend more time at the emerging design section where young people are stealing the show.
More than ever, design becomes really democratic, and one can perceive many trends out there as far as aesthetic is concerned, but one thing clearly in common within every work is the pursuit of the human factors and the comfort design. In a world so uncertain and so unsafe, a home should be more and more a safe harbor for the body, the soul and the eyes.
