Several big-name designers launched furniture that this year’s Salone del Mobile. Here are some of Icon’s favourites PATRICIA URQUIOLA FOR GLAS ITALIA The designer’s iridescent, multi-chromatic Shimmer range of tables, consoles and shelves are formed of individual components glued together, and transform when viewed in different lights and angles RICHARD HUTTON FOR MOROSO
We interviewed the designer at Salone del Mobile about the friendly form of his X-Chair – a design that develops on the size and shape of a pouf. NITZAN COHEN FOR MATTIAZZI
Cohen’s range of colourful Uffici task chairs stood out at the Italian company’s stand at the furniture fair. LUCA NICHETTO FOR VERREUM
Inspired by the shape and gloss of wrapped sweets, the designer’s super-shiny Bon Bon tables come in various sizes and are made in silvered glass by the Czech glass brand. GAM FRATESI FOR CAPPELLINI The designers’ textile and metal partition system, which absorbs sound as well as dividing a room, comprises a series of petals that hang from the ceiling in various, sculptural configurations. ATELIER OI FOR ZANOTTA
The frame of the Raperonzolo mirror is made of interwoven cowhide strips, twisted and braided to take on a spatial quality rather than just holding the glass. More Milan coverage to come on iconeye.com and in the July issue of Icon, out in early June |
