RAIZ AND CASCAS - New design by Patricia Urquiola

 Cascas tea trolley

I like the soft elegant lines, the beautiful combination of FSC certified Amazonian wood and a top made of Marwoolus - marble waste and wool yarns, made by Marco Guazzini - in the Cascas tea trolley. Patricia Urquiola designed the two collections for the debut of ETEL International, a Brazilian furniture company’s first opening towards non-Brazilian designers:

The two collections were planned to be a part of an exhibition Women and Design that had to open during this years's postponed Milan Design Week. See some more new designs in my earlier posts

With my earlier post What we missed with postponing Salone del Mobile.Milano 2020 - Part 1 we saw some of the new products that were planned to be showcased during salone 2020. Let's have a look at some more. I notice a trend for soft elegant curves in many of the new furniture pices that we see this year:

SALONE DEL MOBILE 2020 - First News

I was happy to attend this week the press conference for the 59th edition of Salone del Mobile in Milan and to learn some of the first news about this most improtant design event. The press conference was held in the Aula Magna of the Catholic University of Milan:

Claudio Luti, President of the Salone del Mobile, introduced the keyword of this year, which is added to the Manifesto born 2 years ago: 2020 is the year of Beauty, a term that encompasses all the 10 previous words. In this edition of the fair there will be EuroCucina, the International Bathroom Exhibition, S. Project ...
At a special presentation for journalists from many contries a few of the largest and most famous Italian and a few foreign companies presented their new projects and ideas. Enjoy:
