The Milan Furniture Fair, otherwise known as, “il Salone,” celebrated its 49th year this last week. This pivotal fair is known as the design event where you can find innovation and tradition in a mash up of styles. One of our favorite design groups, Moooi, presented a range of pieces which are both imaginative and functional. Always at the forefront, Marcel Wanders didn’t disappoint. His quilted leather Monster Chair features a tonal debossed face playfully placed on the upper back rest. Likewise, the huge, blown up roses reminiscent of English porcelain make a fresh statement on Nika Zupanc’s 5 O’Clock Collection. It appears the fashion world’s obsession with roses is having its effect on interiors.
