Exhibitions Looking ahead to Salone 2024: a selection of tables and coffee tables Text by Laura Barsottini Add to bookmarks Saba Italia, Teatro Magico, designed by 967 Arch The offerings staged by designers in the last edition of the event were sculptural or inspired by nature Geometric precision, architectural inspirations and imposing dimensions. But also organic curves, natural materials such as solid wood, including some refined varieties such as iroko, plus projects in metal and textiles, glass or marble, or hand-woven threads of pure transparent polycarbonate. These were the features that designed the style of dining tables, coffee tables at the last edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano. And as the new edition approaches – a reminder: from 16 to 24 April 2024 – it is fascinating to retrace these details. The living room has always played an important role in the domestic, hospitality and contract sectors. For this reason, the research conducted by companies and designers is focused on identifying new styles, starting from materials and ending with high-tech production cycles, with a particular concern for recycling and the circular economy. While on the one hand the forms become minimalist, many designs draw on circularity and the interplay of curves for products where the visual effect is almost tactile, awakening the senses transversally, generating chiaroscuro effects that vary with the changing light, creating passe-partout furnishings for the most varied occasions.
