Moodboard - Mid Century

Shapes and decors evoke - reinventing it - a time past, full of style

1 | Guitar, a carpet designed by Elena Salmistraro for ILLULIAN (Hall 3/F16), is a soft colour field in which stylised geometric shapes chase each other or overlap, creating a pattern with an ancient, ancestral flavour. 2 | Tonda, the new suspension lamp by Ferruccio Laviani for FOSCARINI (Corso Monforte, 19), an elegant reinterpretation of the past. 3 | Lina lantern by ANALOGLAB (Via Vigevano, 27), in steel with a handle for transport in white oak or American walnut. 4 | Alley is a table by Maurizio Manzoni for CANTORI (Hall 01/C05) with minimal metal supports in various finishes, with tops in marble, wood or smoked glass. 5 | La Chaiselongue by ADAL (Superstudio, via Tortona, 27) from the “Look Into Nature” line is made in igusa, a type of rushes found in rice fields. 6 | With new measurements, the display case with doors in extra-light glass is back, in the Echo collection by Marcel Wanders Studio for FIAM ITALIA (Hall 05/B11). 7 | Kernel ash wood vases from the “Woodland” line by Marta Laudani for RUBINACCI NAPOLI (Hall 06/E36). 8 | Stellage 52 leather chair designed by Gabetti & Isola, Raineri for CECCOTTI COLLEZIONI (Via Durini, 23): a reissue of the chair created for the Turin Stock Exchange. 9 | Taking their cue from the 1960s, the Greg tables by Domenico Mula for DOM EDIZIONI (Hall 01/C06) are finished in bronze and brass.
