Analysis
The Salone took over the fairground's 20 halls with a mix of high-end, innovative,
smaller and emerging brands and designers.

Attendance topped all expectations for this first post-pandemic, back-to-size edition of
Salone Internazionale del Mobile. Over 262,000 visitors attended the show from 173
countries, while participating brands numbered 2,175, of which 27% came from abroad.
This was a positive and celebratory 60th edition, defined by the joy of being back and
together in-person.
The industry is enjoying an optimistic outlook, and conversations across stands and
lounges focused on the future and looking ahead, finding positivity in the current
global uncertainty. The fairground organisation tried to shake up the traditional
allocation of brands by launching S.Project – two halls dedicated to innovative
decorative and technical interior design solutions with a varied mix of exhibitors mixing
indoor and outdoor, lighting to fabrics, coverings to finishes.
At the special and much smaller SuperSalone 2021, stand design was controlled and
managed by the organisers in order to ensure a balanced allocation of space and
consistency of materials. But here, investment in stand design was back with a bang:
whole temporary architectures were raised within the halls, bringing to life brands'
narratives with immersive set design. Sustainability and plans around the second life of
the stand materials and fixtures could have been better communicated however,
especially considering the investment in full-sized trees and fully fitted architectural
structures at some of the biggest exhibitors.
Alongside Salone Internazionale del Mobile and the biannual Eurocucina, FTK and
Miniforms
Salone Internazionale del Bagno exhibitions, Salone Satellite, the platform dedicated
to under-30s emerging talents in the industry, was also back and inspiring, with 600
designers from over 48 countries under the theme "Designing for our Future
Selves/Designing for Our Tomorrows".

Stand design: soft partitions
Investment in stand design was back, and
softness was a key direction among
exhibitors.

Soft partitions, curtains and sheer materials

recurred in a number of stands, creating
inviting displays that invite the onlooker in but Arper

discreetly conceal the product, enticing with

the experience of discovery.
Kartell worked with Ferruccio Laviani for a
structure clad in rice paper, whose diffusing
Kartell Gan
quality complements the tone-on-tone carpet
well.
Layered sheets of fabric acted as path-definers
and guides at Knoll, Gan and Arper, creating
intrigue. Arper enhanced this with a succession Midj

of soft alcoves, each furnished with the new

pieces being launched, achieving a strong
narrative. Designed by Kengo Kuma, Gan's
stand also used tatami-like layers to unveil and
frame new collections of rugs.
At Lago, what looked like a wood slated ceiling
was actually a printed textile that will be
recycled after the show. Similarly, at Midj the
white sheer fabric enveloping the booth was Knoll Lago Verdi
polyester printed with water-based ink, which
allows for it to be recycled into furniture
filling.

3
Stand design: indoor trees
Trees were everywhere at this edition of
Salone: inside as well as outside stands,
complementing the latest launches and
turning the spaces into green oases.

We called out indoor trees as a key trend for

interiors in 2022 and beyond, and Salone Sangiacomo

certainly confirmed this. Whether on the

outside of the booth, peppered throughout the
inner area or featuring as props, trees of large
proportions are a key definer of stand design
Pianca Tribu
this year, as exhibitors embraced the call for a
stronger connection with nature.
Some brands went one step further and chose
trees that really seem to speak to their brand,
such as evoking the region in which they're Zanotta
based through olive trees, vines, hazel trees
and more. At Fantoni, the founder's passion for
maple trees inspired him to grow seedlings of
the plant and feature them throughout the
stand, as well as gift them to whomever was
willing to take one home and grow it.
Zanotta went instead for full-grown African
milk trees defining the showcase areas, and
other brands also embraced the hyper-lush
Fast Outdoor Lifestyle Poliform Fantoni
tropical effect.
Overall, most plants were rented and will
return to nurseries, although some were in fact
brought in from the brand's HQ and will go
back there.

4
Cosy outdoor living
The launch of cosy outdoor collections
confirms as a must-have for brands at all
market levels.

The focus on outdoor living continues to

influence brands to expand in this area beyond
stand design with actual collections. Baxter Tribu

featured among those introducing an outdoor

line this year, focusing on colours and tactilities
throughout three different collaborations. At
Kartell, new versions of the Plastics range
Kettal Golran
featured polyurethane-filled cushions and
waterproof fabrics, while Golran launched
outdoor rugs by Piero Lissoni made of coarse
natural fibres.
New launches also can entail expanding into Living Divani
different and complementary areas: Kettal
launched an outdoor kitchen made of an
aluminium supporting frame teamed with
stoneware and iroko wood modules. All
surfaces are smooth and rimless, for easy
cleaning and maintenance.
The outdoor living room also sees increasing
investment in expanding existing sets with
modular elements that can be combined at
Baxter Talenti Kartell
need, creating lounging areas for multiple
activities.

5
Flexible and versatile
Flexibility and versatility become
paramount qualities in order to respond to
the need for simpler, more approachable
design.

Practicality is top of mind for consumers

seeking items designed to simplify their lives Connubia

while also meeting the requirement for more

responsible production and shipping.
Flatpacking and self-assembly are key areas to
explore across a broad range of products. This
Kettal Miniforms
was key as part of the display as well to
strengthen the narrative; Italian brands
Miniforms and Connubia as well as Finnish
brand Inno among others all make a feature of
showing the piece disassembled. Kristalia

Michael Anastassiades achieved extreme

aesthetic minimalist simplicity on a tri-blade fan
for Kettal where every element is applied to
maximise performance and improve efficiency,
from the blade angle to the lightness of
powder-coated aluminium.
At Gan, versatility defines a range of rugs that
can be used on both sides: the idea is turning
the rug on its fluffier side for winter, and the Gan Inno Calligaris
woven design works well in warmer climates.
Designs that can extend and expand at need
are another important key direction,
particularly relevant in table designs.
Kristalia's Bodoni table by Industrial Facility is
quite archetypal in its severe cleanness, and
the assembly process is also extremely simple
and designed to minimise any complexity.

6
Agile systems
Designing in systems is becoming a priority
for brands in order to meet the need for
increasingly flexible lifestyles.

Modular, movable and portable elements

come together to achieve varying flexible
configurations within the space. Many brands La Cividina

are introducing new elements to their existing

ranges, for instance, rounded corner modules,
daybed modules and more. This applies to
indoor and outdoor ranges, as well as contract,
Lapalma Srl Midj
hospitality and residential.
Sofa systems confirm as an easy point of
departure: upholstered pouffes, large
cushions and seating modules with movable
backs featured in varying designs, from Tine K Home
minimal and contoured to more relaxed and
textural. This is ideal for lobbies, lounges and
more.
Nesting tables and layered coffee tables are a
key direction for design and styling, providing
opportunity to play with colour and material
juxtapositions in creative pieces that take
centre-stage.
This direction also opens the opportunity for Fedustria Evolution 21 by Karine Bonjean My Home Collection
collections that can be built over time, adding
new elements to refresh existing pieces with
an heirloom approach, which can work for
larger furniture as well as smaller decorative
furnishings.

7
Layered softness
Emphasise the welcoming feel of
upholstered seating with layers of plump
softness.

We have been tracking the continuing appeal of

curved comfort within interiors, and here it
confirms with designs that enhance their Flou & Natevo

softness with overlaid compositions.

At Horm, the Mass Pressure armchair by Dror
Benschetrit is achieved via compression of one
cubic metre of foam rubber – a seemingly
Horm Zanotta
simple action that turns abstract material into a
seat. Pianca presented the Peonia series by
Cristina Celestino, inspired by the bloom with a
layered petal-like shell design, while Zanotta
reissued its iconic Campiello+ cocoon chair in Tomasella
fresh colours and materials featuring three
overlapping cushions and a pivoting base, ideal
for contract and residential.
Tiered softness also translates in cushions on
cushions, and sofa designs that mimic the look
to exaggerate the relaxing look. Brands
including Flou and Lema complement their
lounge systems with additional removable and
portable blanket-like layers.
Fast Outdoor Lifestyle Paulangelo Pianca
Another important direction sees softness,
colour and texture via removable padded or
knitted slip-covers, ideal for indoor and
especially outdoor solutions.

8
Gentle embrace
Curvilinear contours embraced furniture
frames, conveying a sense of reassurance.

Tapping into the continuing appeal of

cocooning shapes, brands proposed designs
that visualise comfort via embracing
movements. This applies to upholstered Pianca

pieces, where gentle folds create a sense of

continuity from the seat to envelop the
armrest, as well as harder solutions such as
Vondom's manta chair by Eugeni Quitllet,
Bulo Notchi Architects
whose one-piece polypropylene seat is
designed to be interchangeable between
residential and contract or office bases.
Wood also offers an opportunity to achieve
curvatures that embrace the piece, as a Vondom
structure – as seen in Pianca's bedside table –
or emphasising the softness of a surface, such
as in Charlie Styrbjörn's bench top. Trussardi
Casa evokes the enveloping movement with
smoked glass in two contrasting finishes as a
statement table base, and Liu Jo Living
exaggerates the curvature with a wraparound,
hyper-padded backrest for the Coquille
seating series.
Liu Jo Living Trussardi Casa Charlie Styrbjörn

9
Joints in focus
Joints and hardware play a central role in
defining the design of a product.

Usually concealed and disregarded, joints

became a defining detail to product ranges at
this edition of the show. Research has been
invested in optimising functionality, materials, Studio Marfa

and achieving a statement impact, especially

with table and chair legs.
Brands favour an elevated industrial look with
brushed metal, such as Alias' range of tables
Alias Lema
and desks where the cast aluminium foot is
mirrored in the cast aluminium joint between
the leg and the top. Lema worked with Norm
Architects for a minimalist chair warmed up by
the brushed solid wood and brass; the wood Cimento
bone joints and brass fixtures define and
complement the design.
At Zieta Studio, Tomasella and Cimento, among
others, the leg actually reaches the top and
becomes an integrative part of the surface
design. Coedition Paris pointed out the retro
industrial joint as a key element in a new range
of bistro tables.

Coedition Paris Zieta Studio Tomasella

10
Tactile black
Textural and tactile black stands out as a
key colour direction across the show.

The latest launches throughout the show

confirm our prediction of dimensional black
remaining an important colour direction in 2022
and beyond. This is achieved in many different Van Rossum

ways, and applied to a variety of materials.

Developed with Studioilse, Ames expands its
ceramic range with handcrafted lighting, using
naturally black clay native to a region in
Ames Onegloss
Colombia, and pairing it with dyed Iraca palm
fibres. Wood is another key material, sand-
blasted to enhance the grain patterns then
stained or varnished.
Patina remains another important finish to Nardi

achieve a timeworn narrative across decorative

items as well as larger furniture and even
whole kitchen surfaces. Nardi's Regeneration
line is characterised by a near-black tint that
celebrates in its unevenness the many recycled
plastics it is made of. Similarly, at Kartell the
black Re Chair is made by recycling the
otherwise discarded faulty capsules of Illy
coffee.
Kartell Cattelan Italia Freifrau Sitzmobelmanufaktur
Black can also be tactile and very refined:
Fantoni achieved a new Onegloss finish, which
is anti-fingerprint, hyper-soft touch, non-
reflective and ideal for making black functional
within office furniture; Onegloss is 100%
recyclable, and manufactured using processes
with reduced environmental impact.

11
Acid intensity
Colour vibrancy catches the eye of the trade
visitor.

As called out in our Buyers' Briefing S/S 23,

energetic brights will come to the fore as a key
direction for products at all scales and market
levels. Yanshan Ou

Digital blues play an important role, with an

intensity that is borrowed from virtual realms.
Many displays paired this vibrant hue with
orange to intensify the impact, as seen at
Thonet Giobagnara
Magis, where the orange has a near-neon
strength, in Pedrali's outdoor range, as well as
in Giobagnara's latest accessories.
Heritage brand Thonet makes colour the key
callout in terms of VM as well as product Pedrali

design, using such brightness to celebrate the

work it has done with India Mahdavi for the new
Loop seating range, and using tonal layerings
of upholstery and lacquered structure to
strengthen the visual impact.
Another key colour of 2022, Mineral Yellow, is
another important colour to call out, recurring
in a range of hues from more earthy and
mustard-infused to acidic, as seen in striking Magis Pols Potten Ames
glass work as well as powder-coated metal
furniture items.

12
Pastel play
Easy and approachable, pastels make for a
highly commercial colourway to bring
contemporary softness to furniture and
furnishings.

A colour direction to continue investing into,

powdery pastels have a relatable sweetness Baxter

that updates industrial designs. Matte finishes

are important, no matter the material. At
Fermob, the mint green Studie Chair won a
Best of the Best 2022 Red Dot Award for its
Klara Von Zweigberk x Gan Fermob
ergonomics and comfort-driven rework of the
school chair.
Tranquil Blue confirms from the last edition
and is widely present, with Baxter even
dedicating a VM narrative to its soothing and Lema
feelgood quality across diverse materials and
finishes. Pale yellow, tactile pink and
pigmented green and blue will continue to
work together in the upcoming seasons, also
showcased at Lema via styling and in Gan's
crochet rugs.
Pink takes on a hyper-plush quality at Dante
Goods & Bads in vegan imitations of leather and
fur, adding a cruelty-free element to the
Flou & Natevo Studio Yula Dante Goods and Bads
captivating palette.

13
Sand hues
Tinted neutrals layer together, achieving a
natural and luminous impact within brand
displays.

#WarmNeutrals bring a soothing quality to

interiors and ranges, worked in a wide range of
applications thanks to their versatility and IOC Project Partners

enhanced by matte finishes. Styling is a

paramount field of action here, able to enhance
the sun-infused impact of these nuanced tints
via layering of materials and surfaces.
MDF Italia Kriptonite
Aluminium furniture producer Kriptonite
created a total immersion effect with sand-
coloured everything within the stand, from the
upholstered pieces to the industrial shelving
and its props, including the carpet and even the Ethimo
shelf-clad walls.
Across exhibitors, the overall look evokes
naturalness; warm woods, grainy and tactile
fabrics, muted velvets and textural glazes all
work together to achieve an environment that
has a calming and restorative effect. At Ethimo,
the monochromatic Bold table pairs a smooth
stone top with equally tinted concrete legs,
balancing lightness with totemic volumes.
Horm Saba Talenti

14
Wood everywhere
Embodying all references to nature and
artisanality, wood recurs across all
applications, scales and market levels.

At the heart of many conversations at the

moment with concerns regarding sourcing,
nonetheless wood is certainly the key material Inclass

to call out across the show.

Indoor as much as outdoor, wood is embracing
warm hues and rich, contrasted grains. Iroko
recurs as a widely chosen material for outdoor
Baxter Pols Potten
ranges, alongside oak and teak. Most brands
underline that solid timber comes with
responsibly sourced certifications, a testament
to their commitment to more sustainable
materials and processes. Ethnicraft

Finishes favour a matte and porous feel,

leaving the grain irregularities to take centre-
stage. Maple, oak, ash and walnut are other
varieties favoured across the show.

15
Artisanal glass
Bubbly and uneven, artisanal glass came to
the fore across very diverse product ranges.

From lighting to table tops and even shelves,

glass in purposefully imperfect finishes was
widely present at this edition of Salone.
Hammered, rolled or simply thick and Trussardi Casa

irregular as a result of casting the glass, there

is an intriguing quality to this material and how
it refracts light in water-like ripples.
The Mushroom coffee tables at Calligaris pair
Cattelan Italia Venini
organic and refined in the combination of
smoked glass and curved wood. Presotto
creates mesmerising reflections via a
metallised coating, while clear glass creates
light and shadow play in lighting as well as Presotto
furniture and even dividers at Venini.
Use this material in applications at all scales,
tapping into a visual and tactile appeal that
speaks to craftsmanship and nostalgia,
especially when worked in smoky tints.

Miniforms Nature Design Calligaris

16
Tiles in focus
In stand and product design, tiles emerge as
an important direction for brands to explore.

From whole walls and displays to new

collections, ceramic tiles were called out as a
key feature. Rough and porous terracotta
brought a rustic outdoor feel to environments: Dooq

at Gervasoni the stand featured colourful tiles

in natural composite that mimic the aged
appearance of real stone, by La Pietra
Compattata. Ethimo used well-worn clay tiles
Talenti Ames
in classic herringbone placement to emphasise
the summery patio narrative.
At Talenti the slim profile tiles in liquid-like
glaze evoked an underwater world immersion,
while Miniforms clad planters and dividers in Disharee Mathur
clean terracotta squares.
Tiles also represent a new launch direction: at
Dooq's stand, partner brand Theia presented
the new Mar Di tiles range by StudioPepe: four
different styles in matte and glossy finishes,
designed to be mixed and matched at need.
Exhibiting at Salone Satellite, Indian emerging
creative Disharee Mathur proposed a new
ceramic material she called Newblue: created Ethimo Gervasoni Miniforms
with artisans from the Jaipur Blue pottery
district by recycling sanitaryware, this new and
more durable material breathes new life into a
heritage craft while making use of a locally
abundant source of solid waste.

17
Uneven and porous
A lived-in feel came to ranges large and
small to enhance the mark of the maker.

Stone, clay, concrete and resin all explore

finishes that have a rough and worn-out feel,
enhancing their porosity. Travertine confirms
as a stone to invest into, and ClassiCon pushed Cimento

experimentation one step further by staining

the stone surface with indigo, enhancing its
porosity with a texture that evokes spalted
wood.
ClassiCon Bitossi Home
At Van Rossum, Thomas Haarmann brought
craftsmanship and materiality in focus with his
Umami kitchen concept, enhanced by the
whole stand design featuring rough clay-like
walls. Side tables also present uneven and Bulo
imperfect rims in stone and resin or concrete.
Faye Toogood presented a new collection of
sculptural ceramics with Bitossi, five subtly
anthropomorphic table decoration pieces that
experiment with finish and a play on highs and
lows. Patricia Urquiola clad the Cimento stand
as well as planters and decor in a popcorn
finish that enhances the tactility of the Cimento
composite.
Van Rossum Vahe Ensemble Tribu

18
Interlaced constructions
The interest in interlaced and openwork
structures remains a key driver across latest
launches.

A direction traditionally more applied to

outdoor collections, as the boundaries
between indoor and outdoor blur in recent Tribú

years interlace and weave are increasingly

influencing all-year-round ranges.
Unusually for Antonio Citterio, in his latest
work for Knoll the designer used oak and
Knoll Kettal
cotton cord: his Klismos collection features
soft curves that invite you to lounge, and the
loose interweave is contemporary and artisanal
at once.
Rope is a key feature among other exhibitors Ethimo

too, defining structured openwork in seating,

table rims and even lighting. At Flou, woven
leather strips created a lace-like motif over the
iron frame of a table lamp and furniture. The
lamp by Studio Gilles Werbrouck won a Salone
Satellite Award for its experimental
craftsmanship: white jesmonite is poured over
black VHS crochet tape.
Gilles Werbrouck x Hugues Loina
Kettal brings openwork to life via 3D Flou & Natevo rd Potocco
stoneware printing for the Plumon table legs,
achieving a woven-like softness that intrigues
the onlooker. Moreover, not requiring a mould
and printing on demand, as well as only
needing low temperature for firing, it allows
for a shorter, more responsible and more agile
manufacturing process.

19
Distressed and fringed
Exaggerated surface work defined textiles
and upholstery for many exhibitors.

Velvets, cottons, linen and all types of fibres

favour a highly distressed look. Velvets in fact
are closer to chenille in many cases, featuring
high plush, a subtle sheen and surface Edra

irregularities, as seen at Kartell and Tacchini

among others.
Fringing, raw edges, devoré, fil coupé and
speckled grains all represent other details
MDF Italia Kartell
that convey this worn-out look to designs.
Alongside upholstery, rugs are an important
area in which to apply this. Nanimarquina
makes flecked and irregular fibres a key
quality that visualises the recycled origin of the Evolution 21 by Karine Bonjean
material; its Re-Rug collection uses leftover
wool accumulated by its suppliers, creating a
new yarn suitable for weaving from.

Nanimarquina Tacchini Gervasoni

20
Matte touch
A matte touch brought visual and tactile
softness across a broad range of products.

Materials hard and soft present a matteness

that calls to be touched. Frosting and sanding
are paramount to glass: Venini launched a
matte version of some of its classics, while at Studio Baku

Salone Satellite young creative Baku Sakashita

showcased his portable lamps made from a
mass of frosted solid glass.
Matte velvet in delicate hues conveys a lived-in
Gandia Blasco Cimento
softness to upholstered pieces, while suede
and peach-skin hands also recur across the
show. Serralunga has developed a new finish
called Velvety, which brings flock-like
plushness via a 100% recyclable polyamide Saba
coating to the brand's outdoor ranges.
At Gandia Blasco aluminium achieves a warmly
minimalist aesthetic, worked in hyper-brushed
finishes for the new GB Modular
indoor/outdoor collection which showcases
innovative uses of an anodised aluminium
profile hiding all joints. Cimento makes surface
work a defining feature for the new Frari
tables: sanding one half of the piece highlights
Amura Serralunga Venini
the micro inclusions of mica, cork or marble
and creates tactile as well as visual intrigue.

21
Glossy lacquer
Complementing matte finishes, lacquer is
the other key finish we noted at this edition
of Salone.

Glossy lacquer is here to stay, confirming its

comeback in a wide range of applications. At
Meridiani the styling of the tone-on-tone Visionnaire

lacquered table and lacquered chairs enhances

the impact and conveys an ethereal feel to the
new collection.
A nostalgic palette emphasises the retro
Meridiani Munna + Ginger & Jagger
quality that lacquered finishes bring to
products, coming also to indoor/outdoor and
contract ranges such as Vondom's Africa
upholstered lounge.
Ginger & Jagger applied a subtle matte sheen Coedition Paris

to its lacquer console, balancing retro

references with a contemporary twist. On the
other side, Visionnaire and Horm, among
others, paired lacquered detailing to materials
such as brass and walnut wood, enhancing a
classical luxe look. At Coedition Paris, what
looked like a lacquered tabletop is actually a
glossy ceramic glaze.

Vondom Acerbis Horm

22
Decorative marquetry
Material surface work grows increasingly
sophisticated with surprising
juxtapositions.

Marquetry and inlay bring to life material

research with striking and highly decorative
results. Wood and stone are the key materials Anna Arpa

being investigated, even coming together onto

the same piece for statement accents.
Dooq combined craft techniques and materials
for a sideboard whose front is defined by
Visionnaire Horm
graphic veneer that juxtaposes blond and
darker woodgrains. Similarly, Porro's 2011 inlay
series finds new appeal as wood medleys are
coming to the fore; Horm's Sendai bookshelf
pairs mirror-finish aluminium with turned solid Porada
walnut and alder wood. At Porada the Leaf side
tables combine a marble base with a walnut
and ebony spliced top.
At Salone Satellite, Anna Arpa presents a new
perspective on traditional woodworking with a
focus on inlay. Her designs showcase modular
construction via decorative joints and "locking"
blocks that remove the need for hardware.

Dooq Cattelan Italia Porro

23
Luxe veinings
Coloured and large-scale veined stone took
centre-stage with striking feature pieces.

The appetite for show-stopping marble and

marble-like textures confirmed an important
direction at the show. Colour is a key
parameter, as brightly tinted stones deliver a e15

statement even in everyday items such as

bedside tables.
Onyx is a stone to watch, explored in delicately
tinted solid slabs such as E15's Hiroki tabletop
Porada Dooq
and solid Tore stool, both part of the limited
edition premium collection by the brand.
Baxter enriched its # TranquilBlue tonal display
with Brazilian Azul quartzite side tables, and
Porada strengthened the visual impact by Arketipo
styling different stones together in a tiered
composition. Multiple marbles also worked
together in Dooq's sculptural pieces, and
overall dramatic coloured veinings and
supersized slabs remain a direction to explore
with real and mimicked textural veined stone.
As part of its newly launched own collection,
Luxence immersed visitors in a tonal jade green
landscape where its high-end furniture came to
Luxence Luxury Living Baxter Cattelan Italia
life via considered arrangements and elevated
materials – including large applications of
green-stained and lacquered maple burl,
looking luxurious and otherworldly.
