Designinspiratie: MDF Italia’s Array & Acerbis’ Lokum

Tijdloze designstukken voor elk interieur

De Array Sofa van MDF Italia en de Lokum tafeltjes van Acerbis zijn twee op zichzelf staande designstukken die moeiteloos integreren in diverse interieurstijlen. Elk met hun eigen unieke ontwerp en functionaliteit, voegen ze zowel afzonderlijk als gezamenlijk een verfijnde esthetiek toe aan een woonruimte.

Array Sofa - MDF ITALIA

De Array Sofa is een modulair systeem gecreëerd door het Noorse architectenbureau Snøhetta. Het ontwerp combineert maximale flexibiliteit met comfort. Het bestaat uit slanke, onderling verbonden modules die eenvoudig aan verschillende interieurconfiguraties kunnen worden aangepast. Naast een focus op esthetiek ligt de nadruk ook op duurzaamheid, met een frame van gerecycled polypropyleen en zit- en rugkussens gemaakt van gerecycled polyurethaanschuim.

Geïnspireerd door de luxe uitstraling van juwelen, stralen deze sculpturale meesterwerken verfijning uit. Gemaakt van glas, brengen ze een minimalistische elegantie die elk interieur naar een hoger niveau tilt.

Review of Salone del Mobile 2023

salone del mobile & euroluce 2023

Salone del Mobile 2023 in Milan was again a great success with numerous furniture brands presenting their latest designs to the public. We would like to take you back to the leading developments of MDF Italia, Acerbis, Paola Lenti and Davide Groppi as well as the fair trends that caught our eye.

MDf italia

During Salone del Mobile 2023 MDF Italia and Acerbis were seen together at a beautiful booth. This one was redesigned by Israeli studio Pitsou Kedem. The new booth design is not a simple exhibition space, but a true architecture in which curved walls and slats predominate, allowing fragments of the interior to be observed from outside. The atmosphere and design of the interior, by the creative duo Meda-Quincoces, evokes a sophisticated and timeless imagery, thanks in part to the styling of the Milanese duo Cameranesi Pompili.

What struck us right away is that the booth is no longer a booth, but an actual architecture. The booth brings a deepening contrast in its clean minimalist lines enhanced by warm tones and high-tech novelties. Pitsou Kedem, the architect behind the booth's design has also come up with a new type of wall system called Pentagramma.

Novelties:

  • Rock Table mini – design Jean Marie Massaud
  • Rock Table maxi – design Jean Marie Massaud
  • Pentagramma – design Pitsou Kedem
  • Carpet Frammenti and Tatami – design Cameranesi Pompili
  • Cosy Outdoor – design Francesco Rota
  • Cimento & lacquered glass finish Minima 3.0 – design Bruno Fattorini
  • New finish Offset table – design Francesco Meda, David Lopez Quincoces
  • New color NVL table – design JeanNouvel Design
Salone del mobile 2023 MDF Italia
Acerbis

Acerbis continues the Remasters program, as they effectively describe it, by bringing three iconic examples of Italian design from the 1970s back into production. The booth at the Salone del Mobile will showcase three different scenarios of contemporary living, placing items from the Remasters collection alongside Nanda Vigo's iconic Due Più chair and two creations from the 1970s by Claudio Salocchi: Free System, a sofa composed of fully modular and sectional elements, and Napoleone, a coffee table with an intriguing interplay of mirrors and reflections. Claudio Salocchi and Lodovico Acerbis who both received a Compasso d'Oro in '79 are now presented together as if it should always have been this way.

Novelties: 

  • Free System – design Claudio Salocchi
  • Due Più – design Nanda Vigo 
  • Napoleane – design Claudio Salocchi
  • New shape Maestro – design Gianfranco Frattini
Milano Design Week 2023
spotti & Acerbis

In addition to Acerbis booth at the fair, the brand was also on display at Spotti. This Milanese showroom has long been an international reference point for furniture. Art directors Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces have reconstructed - and renovated - the atmosphere of the 1970s Milanese living room. Some of Acerbis' latest designs were exhibited here. 

These new versions recall the allure of the 1970s, with elegant bouclé and nubuck fabrics in soft tones for Free System, and sumptuous upholstery in white and rust-colored Mongolian fur for Due Più.

Novelties: 

  • Free System – design Claudio Salocchi
  • Due Più – design Nanda Vigo 
  • Napoleane – design Claudio Salocchi
  • New shape Maestro – design Gianfranco Frattini
davide groppi

Davide Groppi gave a wonderful presentation during Euroluce 2023. It was a presentation of their most essential works, with many novelties and surprising products. Among these, the following ingredients stood out; simplicity, invention, emotion, lightweight, amazement. These are the fundamental facets that davide groppi's products must satisfy. It brings unity, creates cohesion and ultimately unique high-profile solutions and projects. The semi-transparent booth was enormously well attended and it was a great pleasure to read the wonder on the faces.

  • Aurora design Davide Groppi

PAOLA LENTI - VIA BOVIO ​

In addition to the fair, we also visited Paola Lenti's new location and showroom in Milan. The new showroom is located in a historic building on Via Giovanni Bovio. The idea behind it is to create a place where architecture, art, food and hospitality come together with design; an experience that transcends the typical furniture brand and clearly communicates the company's vision and its commitment to research and experimentation.

The flagship store is designed to establish an ongoing dialogue with its target groups, professionals and end users, while serving as a reliable reference point during Milan Design Week.

The new location is in a former industrial complex in the residential district of Maciachini, an urban area that is growing rapidly and far from traditional design paths.

In addition to exhibition spaces for both indoor and outdoor collections, the spaces will house a restaurant, a charming hotel with a spa, a landscape architecture firm and an art gallery where public events will take place. The official opening of Paola Lenti Milano is scheduled for December 2023, after the completion of the restructuring work.

We found the new venue very inspiring and enjoyed a truly unprecedented presentation. Surprise after surprise. This is the example where art and design go hand in hand. In addition to new designs such as, for example, Tajine, Giorgio, Nami, Noah, Astri and Pod, Kiori, there are also existing designs which show their strength in a new fabric or other complementary designs. 

Novelties:

    • Scicli design CRS
    • Starways design CRS
    • Giorgio design CRS
    • Nami design Carlo Tuzzi
    • Noah design CRS
    • Astri design Nicolò Morales
    • Concreto design Francesco Rota

    • Zebrù design CRS

Things that stood out for us overall?

The main thing that struck us were the designs where function, form, aesthetics and innovation prevail, transforming spaces into fascinating places with a unique personal timeless elegance.

We are certainly looking forward to the next edition in 2024 and in addition, we are happy to share our inspiration and enthusiasm with you.

Review of Salone del Mobile 2022

salone del mobile 2022

After a long wait, it was finally here again. From June 7 to 12, Milan was all about Salone del Mobile. We would like to take you through the leading developments of MDF Italia, Acerbis, Paola Lenti, Davide Groppi and ICF as well as the trends we noticed at the fair. 

To begin with, the combined forces between fashion and design is something that struck us right away. The essential design of MDF Italia met the outstanding craftsmanship of Jacob Cohën in the Neil Denim, the new denim edition of the Neil chair by Jean Marie Massaud. Besides being on display at MDF Italia's booth, we also viewed this Neil Denim with great enthusiasm in Milan's fashion center in Jacob Cöhen's shop window on the via Della Spiga.

Ferragamo & Acerbis

In addition, we saw a creative collaboration between Ferragamo and Acerbis on the occasion of Salone del Mobile. This collaboration is celebrated in part with a rainbow-like take on the historic Med chair by Giotto Stoppino and Lodovico Acerbis. The signature design is now executed in multicolored suede to recall the iconic Rainbow women's shoe created by Salvatore Ferragamo for Judy Garland in 1938. We viewed both in the windows of the Salvatore Ferragamo boutique on Via Monte Napoleone where Nanda Vigo's Storet cabinet was also on display.

metaforfosi - paola lenti

Then there is the new collection Metamorfosi from Paola Lenti, designed by Brazilian designers and brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana. The Campana brothers are known for the "Favela chair" and the "Bolotas," among others. If it does not immediately mean anything to you, it is worth looking it up. 

Paola Lenti's new unique creations "Metamorfosi" were born entirely from a conversation about reusing production remnants. The result is a special edition of six high-profile pieces in which the circular power not only ensures environmentally responsible results, but also social awareness. That it has become a socially powerful, gallery-like collection is evidenced by all the rave reviews from the global press.

In addition to the above developments, Paola Lenti's show garden was again very inspiring. Vincent van Duysen has designed a table for Paola Lenti. Where the Portofino series was already a success, there is now Suzanne. This table has a very refined look due to the rounded wooden thermo-treated top. In addition 'Jardìn' by Clara Porset (1895-1981), one of the new collections shown for the first time that we absolutely love. It is a 1950s design, timeless, with beautiful lines, materialization upgraded to Paola Lenti's standards.

one more light - davide groppi

Davide Groppi 'gave a wonderful presentation in their own showroom in the center of Milan called "One More Light. It was a presentation of their most essential works, with novelties and surprising products. Among them, standing out was the Soft ChainDelier. A new lighting element for the ChainDelier model. An intense yet soft light for creating infinite compositions above tables or along walls. ChainDelier is an open and modular design thanks to the gold-plated links which together result in a special conductive chain allowing lighting modules of diffused light and accent light to be combined wirelessly.

The name "One More Light" refers to "FM" and is reminiscent of the radio antenna which we used to slide in and out. Meanwhile, the antenna is hard to find in our daily lives. But now available again in the form of a beautiful lighting element next to the bed, or a light that gives a nice accent to a valued element in the interior. 

mdf italia

At Salone del Mobile 2022 had MDF Italia a beautiful booth designed by the Israeli studio Pitsou Kedem. A look that refers to the new concept of the beautiful showroom in Mariano Comense, but also a booth that leads your visit on a visual-sensory path to discover the new products. The atmosphere and design of the interior, by the creative duo Meda-Quincoces, evokes a sophisticated and timeless imagery, also thanks to the styling of the Milanese duo Cameranesi Pompili.

The power of minimalism is back, pure materials, clean light lines, monochromatic finishes, and a wide choice of sizes to maintain tranquility in the interior and exterior. Subtle spectacle gives greater appreciation.
