Salone del Mobile 2022: many innovations for the contract sector and not only

At the beginning of June, took place in Milan the most awaited event in the world of design furniture: the 60th edition of the Salone del Mobile. After the stop due to the pandemic, it was a first step towards a new normality. For the return as a live event, the turnout was beyond expectations, a sign of quality, commitment, cohesion and a great desire to come together and get going again.

The Milan Design Week is the most important international showcase, an event that has always highlighted quality, innovation, beauty and sustainability: key words for industry professionals. As Maria Porro, President of the Salone del Mobile in Milan, pointed out: “The Salone del Mobile has always been a catalyst for creativity and energy. It is a generator of beauty, inclusion, new opportunities. (…) A point of reference for the entire design community”.

There are always many companies to expose and make known to the world their news. Among the exhibiting brands La Palma, which has always proposed through fluid and informal environments, furnishing solutions created to accompany the ever-changing experiences of contemporary living. Awarded for its 40 years of participation in the Milan Design Week, La Palma has completely renewed its space alternating with the iconic collections, the news 2022. Among the others: the Jazz bookcase; the original and comfortable Wing Tip lounge armchair; the Foil chair and the Glove and Cross stools. Items suitable to leave different environments: waiting rooms, restaurants, airports, offices, gardens and homes.

Of course, Pedrali participated too in the international design event, presenting twelve new collections, the result of rigorous research and important collaborations with Italian and international designers. Some of these are: the sober and welcoming Lamorisse armchair; the Nolita Sofa that recalls the origins of Pedrali products and at the same time the lightness of the novelty; the Souvenir monobloc seats, colorful and suitable for any outdoor environment and also many functional and versatile furnishing accessories.

The large Arper space could not fail to host several innovations, games between transparencies and dynamic colors, harmonious shapes and versatile systems. The products presented by Arper bring out the important relationship between man and nature through durable and timeless furnishings in which lightness and simplicity are enhanced. Some Arper items have been improved by modifying their shape, materials or colors, to adapt them to new spaces and at the same time to reflect the progress made in materials and technology. The Juno chair, for example, is just one of these “revitalized” products whose design has been improved using more sustainable materials. So was born a Juno 02. lighter but no less durable and in new color variations that adapt to delicate environments with soft nuances that are inspired by nature.

The Milan Design Week brought together the international design community to present and enhance new proposals both for compact spaces or transformable interiors and for multifunctional furnishings for every environment, always quality furnishings, which find in the Salone the most important showcase. In fact, the Salone del Mobile has always been an intense week of productive exchanges about sustainability and opening up to new markets.

Design Chairs by La Mercanti in Switzerland

At the end of the last year Mr. Stuehle Sascha by Fashion & Interior Design GmbH, an international trade company based in Switzerland, contacted us because he was very interested in the design chairs Him & Her by Casamania.

These are very special design chairs for shape and colors. Indeed their shapes were created using a 3 dimensional scan of 2 plaster sculptures. Him&Her are available in two different finishes: matt polyethylene, and glossy varnished polyethylene.

At a first time, our customer choose six couples of chairs in matt white and three couples in glossy white finish. He received the design chairs at the appointed time and satisfied with his purchase, at the beginning of this year, he asked La Mercanti to send him other 23 Him&Her couples in white matt finish.
