African Influence at Salone Internazionale del Mobile, not only on the Runways




This year with the 'M'afrique' exhibition Moroso shows the creativity of a few of the great artists
and exponents of contemporary african culture, but I am impressed with another African influence - the ERMANNO SCERVINO launch of the company’s first furniture and linens collection inspired by the designer’s African vacations. Sofas, chairs and a canopy bed covered with crocheted raffia in black or natural. And especially interesting raffia armchair with legs aand arms made of horns of zebu cow. The furniture is produced under license by Nicoletti.

It appears that African influence is a fashion trend, too - have a look at NewYork Times Fashion and Style.
Again fashion and interior design trends share a common source of inspiration.
