Trends MAISON&OBJET: Farewell to the overexposure of the intimate

Well-being and intimacy are the main themes of this autumn's MAISON&OBJET.
As a reaction to a world which is often thought to be over-aggressive and, given the proliferation of social networks (Facebook, Twitter ...), we are looking for territory of ultimate privacy.

How to protect or restore this special area? Times of uncertainty reactivate the archaic desire to take shelter and find inner peace, the desire to turn in on ourselves and our eternal silence. The demand for private space is reflected in many projects and products in the last couple of years and new ones presented at the show.

Camping in the kid's room

Inspiration, magic and feeling of being special - all these are necessary elements of children rooms and furniture design. With the new school year beginning we concentrate our attention on the way our children are living and their surroundings. I know that you are looking for interesting ideas - here ate several children and teen rooms that apply the idea of camping within the room:

Office Design: hiding cables can be done with style

Conceived by Monica Armani in 2010 the WGS table may be used as a single table for the minimal dining rooms, or for ultramodern and sophisticated office spaces. Its modular version is suitable for meeting room table or as multiple workstation. Its most interesting element - the double trestle (table side legs) works as a linking device and serves as cable beam, covered in colorful felt available in lime yellow, brick red, natural or stone grey.

I am impressed with all the elements of this collection - they show elegant feminine approach to solving technical design problems.
Felt continues to be a very fashionable material in interior design. It is used by the designer also to cover the elegant partition screen which can be used to
absorb sound, as a rack and
displayer for offices, domestic
spaces or public areas.
