KARTELL “LOVES THE PLANET”
In the context of more careful, conscient and sustainable design, Kartell
has created a set of furniture collections, in order to raise awareness of the
environment and the concern for the planet Earth. Kartell Loves The Planet
is the name of this collection that represents the ongoing conversation about
the world and the environment.
RETAIL EXPERIENCES
Brands are aware that consumers are increasingly valuing experiences
rather than objects and changing their spending habits accordingly. To gain
customers’ attention back into stores, they’re adapting to offer 360-degree
shoppable brand experiences. Believing a relaxed customer is more likely to
make a purchase, retailers are on a continual quest to make customers feel at
home in their stores. Brands want customers to discover a different way of
shopping, aiming to create an environment that is as close as possible to their
homes. We hope to see this design trend at Salone Del Mobile 2020.
BIOPHILIA
Plants are certainly not a new interior design trend, but they are
becoming more of a feature than ever before, as people realize the
health benefits they offer. With a diminished connection to nature,
the increasing pressure on urban space and the technological
presence we have less opportunity to recuperate our mental and
physical energy. Biophilia Design Trend is all about the hidden
secrets that surround the essence of life, just like if your ambiences
were alive and breathing. Businesses at the vanguard of workplace
design such as Apple, Google and Amazon are investing heavily in
Biophilic Design elements.
NENDO: SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN
COLLECTION FOR EMECO
Japanese studio Nendo has released a new version of its
environmentally friendly SU stool for Emeco, adding an
interchangeable cork seat to the design. The material
is lightweight, resilient and can be harvested every ten
years without causing lasting damage to the trees. As
with previous versions of the SU stool, the seat has a
contoured surface and is supported by four anodised
aluminium legs. Emeco describes the cork seat as “tactile
with a feeling of warmth”.
NEWS & TRENDS
Design is everywhere. From year to year, the trends keep changing in light velocity. If there is one way to
describe the interior design trends we will see more of in 2020, it’s anything goes. To make you be able to
keep up with all of them we bring you the latest news and trends in the interior design world.
