Lacquered sculpted base in different colors and materials - an easy way to create visual splendor in any interior or exterior space.
Or you can have a table from the collection Pliseé designed by Paola Navone for MIDJ, which obviously is inspired by fashion:

Bespoke furniture design makes perfect use of space:
That is the new color of the year 2025, chosen by Pantone and everybody talks about it:
So, I finally agree with Pantone's choice. In so many stressful years it is obvious that we all need that feeling of comfort.
As for interior design - this is great color, effortless to use and match. You can definitely have your home oasis of comfort and luxe in Mocha Mousse. Get some inspiration:

For sure one of the several trends that we saw at Salone del Mobile this year that will continue to be topical in 2024 and further is PORTABLES - almost every lighting company in Milan showed their proposal for portable lighting, but most impressive was the collection presented by Tom Dixon.
‘The big highlight this year are the new portable lights, all inspired by existing Tom Dixon designs. We have four colours in the melt version and the baby bell (shown above). They are all IP44, so suitable for indoor and outdoor use. They are dimmable and we have worked really hard to ensure they are properly engineered, in the material and functionality. You can expect to get between 8 – 9 hours of battery life.’

There is a lot in common between fashion and interior design: you dress your home in a similar way - with the same preferences for colour, materials, style. Probably this approach lies behind that growing number of fashion brands that begin to offer home furnishings, as you can see in my earlier posts like the one on the link above and many other posts on the theme.
Now we see another beautiful collaboration - last October "Nina Yashar, founder of Nilufar Gallery, has curated a selection of pieces from her rich contemporary collectible design collection that will be available on the MODES.COM online platform from mid October."
The beautiful pieces include works by Martino Gamper, Audrey Large, Bethan Laura Wood, Flavie Audi, Amy Lowry, Jonathan Trayte, EDXXKAT and Anestis Michalis. Have a look at some of them:

Lighting is a vital component to our everyday lives and for businesses it is also very important for creating attractive spaces with modern clean lighting landscapes that are easily controlled. At the same time lighting has to be safe and we, as designers, are responsible for that while also working toward sustainability goals and follow all the new technologies and trends. What are they?
- The move towards LED lighting. LED lights today are the top choice for many architects and developers for a number of reasons - they are able to deliver superior lightning quality and also companies can take advantage of the energy savings. But applying lighting controls can generate typical energy savings of 35 to 45 percent in commercial and institutional buildings. These controls are part of the integral building automation systems (BAS) used to improve the efficiency of the building through the reduction of energy, operating and maintenance costs. Featuring daylight and occupancy sensors, this new lighting control solution for commercial lighting can also easily detect when lit rooms are vacant, and respond by shutting off the lights to conserve energy.
- The ability for complete control over lighting experiences. And that is another common goal of the BAS - to improve the user experience, for example by controlling lighting scenes.

There is another interesting trend in lighting, especially for commercial spaces - it has additional functions.
