It is the largest furniture fair in the world, and it brought together the most innovative and exciting trends and designs from all over the globe. As the date approached, we couldn't help but feel the excitement and anticipation building up.

This year's event was a game-changer. Sustainability was the buzzword, and we saw new ways in which designers embraced eco-consciousness. From upcycling to natural materials, we were treated to some of the most unique and unusual pieces that brought the beauty of nature into our homes.

Bamboo Forest by Brokis

The Bamboo Forest is a unique lighting collection designed by Fumie Shibata, inspired by the vertical contours of bamboo stands, with hand-sculpted glass forms that create the soft accent of subtle shadows; the collection offers six different variants of lights that can be combined to create original compositions or single-point accent lighting in interior spaces, enhanced by the innovative BROKIS connector that simplifies installation, maintenance, and cleaning.

 

Civitas Bookshelf by Midj

Designed by Giulio Iacchetti, Civitas is a modular system composed of extruded aluminum joints and shelves in lacquered MDF or aluminum, available in two different widths and usable within the same configuration for both vertical and horizontal growth; the system requires wall fixing and bracing for shelves, and its name is a metaphor for the city that grows neatly on the matrix of the Roman camp, allowing the bookshop to also grow and transform.

 

Raquette by Billiani

The Raquette collection, designed by Cristina Celestino, pays homage to the ancient technique of intertwining wooden slats, taking inspiration from the world of tennis through its sides that resemble racquet strings with textured latticework within the frame, while the wooden structure and soft organic cushioning combine in perfect harmony to assure exquisitely contemporary comfort.

 

 

Canarie Basket by Pinetti

Lusto Stool by Lapalma

The LUSTO stool, designed by Karri Monni, takes inspiration from the observation of the roots that unite to form the trunk of a plant, hence the name LUSTO, which in Finnish indicates the circles on the trunk of a tree. The stool's legs rise upwards until they converge to reach the seat, which presents an original rounded square shape, while the footrest, in painted metal, takes up this profile.
