What is trending in tables

Andrew world

I want to share a trend that I noticed during my last Milan Design Week visit and no one is talking about: cones or any other form of large sculptural blocks are preferred by designers for their new table designs instead of the regular four legs. See some more examples:

As you can see, the same goes for chairs and armchairs. Examples will be shown in my next post. Chech more about Milan Design Week 2017.

Patricia Urquiola's new designs at Milan Design Week 2017

Her designs have always evoked coziness and comfort in an elegant way. Now I am impressed with the new Garden Layers she created for GUN and the elegant lounger for the French luxury luggage-maker Louis Vuitton

The Floe Insel sofa is designed to evoke the irregular forms of ice and demonstrates cold elegance in exquisite design:

Memories from the 56th Salone del Mobile - contemporary luxury

The first post I am writing after visiting Milan is about contemporary luxury - I am pleased to find that the concept of contemporary luxury is based on good design, quality materials and comfort. Elegant curves, luxurious quality materials and well-thought design create the impression of a desire for a more restrained style that is based on elegant classic forms, away from minimalism, but also without useless decorations.A lot of natural wood, natural stones, velvets and leather:
