Milan Picks: Salone del Mobile

20.04.2017

Milan Design Week wouldn’t be the same without the Salone del Mobile. The multi-hall, multi-layered colossus located at Rho Fiera remains the most commercially focused location within the entire event and is an essential visit for buyers and trend spotters of the A&D community alike.

Our friends from the Design Team at Johnson Tiles have shared some of their hot picks from the show. Watch this space, you might see some of this inspiration making its way into new Johnson Tiles products in the coming months!

Colour

Neutrals were seen with a greyed off tone and subtle hues of blue. The two predominant colour groups were muted pastels mixed with darker accents, and deep rustic and burnt orange tones, occasionally mixed with teal and largely having a metallic and oxide feel. Devina Nais captured the trend perfectly.

Pattern

Pattern remains mainly geometrical from bold large-scale patterns, to micro patterns. Both florals and damask made a small-scale appearance, exhibited beautifully by Missoni .

Surfaces

Ahura particularly stood out for its beautiful collection of glazed vases and bowls. Engraved patterns on stone and marble materials were also explored, creating art pieces boasting surface detail.
