Peti launched in April her product collection "Heritage is future" in Austria. PK Interior Design invited us to discover inspirations that bring you to a journey across time where past and present dialogue harmoniously. The collection includes lighting, tableware and home accessories. These are designed with great attention to detail and special passion for natural materials. Simple elegance, geometric shapes and artistic flair are the key ingredients of the products under the motto Heritage is future.  
Let nature enters into your interiors, nature simplicity - ceramics, paper, wool and linen with echoes of art. The alliance of "design and nature" returns us to our roots and opens a dialogue between the material and the time, which is destined to have a history for each piece. Like in Slow Goods movement, the designer is using the products to create a sustainable production that can be handmade in cooperation with small manufactures.

Few days ago Pantone​ announced the #ColorofTheYear2017: it's Greenery and it symbolizes the re-connection with nature! A light and bright green, a fresh color that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Green is a relaxing color indeed, and Greenery has a touch of yellow as well, that gives a bit of energy and makes it a perfect color for a brand new year full of vitality!

Salone del Mobile 2017 is behind us

​

Full of Design was introduced in Milan, the novelties are organic, knotted and mix of materials, pattern of colours and shapes – catches the eye of the visitors of the current edition of the Milan Design Week.

​

Kartell has presented Kids collection and celebrated the 50th anniversary, read more below.

​

This year Euroluce was part of the fair and the lighting from Flos and Artemide were introduced with their organic touch.

​

Different events that transformed Milan areas into real Design Districts - installation, presentation and exhibitions:  

​

   - Space&interiors 2017, details for architecture - an event/exhibition that explores the meaning of modern living in terms of finishes and materials

   - The Design Experience - Connected products, digital interaction and augmented reality will lift the new setting of the co-net-working space in via Tortona 31 to a whole new dimension. At the Tortona district, the new beating heart of Milan for art, fashion, design and business, Archiproducts Milan reaffirms its role as a strategic hub for Architects, Brands and Designers.

How did working spaces and relations evolve in a digital information era? At what extent has the ever more popular e-commerce inflicted the importance of showrooms and designers? Co-net-working, freelancing, frequent travelling; What is their impact on working spaces for Architects in particular?

 Archiproducts Milan has created a space for inspiration and reflection on co-working, training, events and showrooms merged in a unique and smooth organization primed on networking. This format rises as an answer to the new demand for exhibition and shared working areas, not only sales-oriented but mainly regarding product knowledge. A hybrid space where Architects, Designers and Brands get together to design, build and innovate the entire year through.

The most important week of the year for Scandinavian design

Faro, Han is much more than a simple wall lamp: it merges a light point with a hanger, two elements that coexist in perfect harmony thanks to a combination of pure and geometric lines. Han is ideal for both private and public spaces (hotel lobbies, halls and lounge areas, bedrooms), where it can provide supplementary lighting, offering sculptural and decorative effects as well as functionality.

Simple but clever ideas that reinterpret the concept of lighting.

‘Designed to Last’ exhibition reflects on some of the most important issues currently facing the design industry – sustainability and designing for the long term – allowing a number of designers and architects to describe how they look at their role in a rapidly evolving, throwaway society. The selection of contributions shown in the exhibition focuses on new works and deals with topics such as quality, material usage and local production – still very prevailing in Sweden today. The exhibition is a collaboration between Residence Magazine and ArkDes (Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design) and is designed by Norway’s leading stylist duo Kråkvik&D’Orazio.
You can visit it in Stockholm:  www.arkdes.se, February 8, 2017 - March 19, 2017

Variety of colours and materials in the kitchen: the new trend for individualised design

​

The kitchen, long considered far more than simply a place to eat, has become the focal point for communication and self-expression in today’s homes. Where until recently neutral, soft colours and unobtrusive materials were called for, a trend can now be seen towards personalisation with a variety of materials and new colours. Inspiration for this is supplied by the trade fair LivingKitchen in Cologne.

​

Where you previously had to choose between a modern, clean look and a cosy, rustic style, there is now an infinite range of options in between – even for solid wood kitchens. And these options can be combined: wood with metal or stone, dark, high-grade woods with glass and stainless steel, smooth white drawer and door fronts with open shelving units in warm wood tones. In those places where materials are combined, a bold colour choice is made or where there are inconsistencies in terms of the shape or height of kitchen furniture, or where it is built around a corner, countertops and repeated colours link it all together to form a comprehensive whole. This way, the dining table, for example, can be given prominence over the island unit or the work surface and thrust into the space, while still being directly identified with the kitchen through the choice of colour or material: a stand-alone piece of furniture, yet one which is not isolated.

​

Whether homely, dark walnut wood next to a sunny yellow ceramic sink, or elegant Grevillea wood with a cool concrete countertop: in today’s kitchens, the leading principle is … anything goes!

M & O chose a theme Silence, having a calming effect on the hyperactive, garrulous and loud times we live in. Home is a place where calm is restored and a growing desire for serenity can be expressed. Lifestyle and style give us the ‘silent treatment’. Beauty is unburdened from the artifice of pointless ornamentation and devotes itself to a quest for the essential. The reduction of materials, geometric abstraction, transparency, halo effects, wireframe structures, ethereal hues and black and white comprise the formal rules of silence. The spartan simplicity of archetypal shapes foster contemplative moments during which the mind is at rest. Sensitive, discrete and elegant objects re-establish inner tranquillity. Please do not disturb this sensual, poetic, harmonious and luxurious minimalism. Shh

​

This theme linked us to the Japanese inspirations - travel to the heart of Japan at MAISON&OBJET. Simple, subtle and discrete… design and aesthetic of Japan with 80 exhibitors within each universe of MAISON&OBJET.
