Another Missing Pictures in Milano

I know its to late, but I want to share my private viewing (thanks to Domus Academy Milan and Vastuhome showroom in Jakarta who sponsored me)at the Milan Furniture Fair 2012. 




Asian, European, American or Italian, from chairs, sofa to cabinet, this new trend on the block made quite a statement on its exhibition week. Lining up on a timely manner was a series of signature release collection expected to stood out among the long list of equally interesting furniture brand. 

Some of them really strike my head personally, while some others are possibly variety pleasers. If I were to rerun that week in my own terms, here's how it would be, brand by brand, designer with designer, old and new and iconic with mass design. 





Yeaaaay.... I'd like to start from Zanotta please. Hands down, the super comfortable collection was a winner. Possibly on par with my favorite Baker and Dwell Design collection. The layers of thinly sliced super soft fabric brings out the sweet and sleek to the surface, while the modern shape adds a complementary texture.




My second choice of modern furniture will go to Driade. Tropical jungle view at the booth was a great welcome warming for the visitor, served at the right tropical style temperature, although it was a bit on the Italian touch for the sofa selection. Otherwise, it was lovely. Some of the swing chair collection from Driade making it effortlessly homey, despite of the strong modern style furniture, Italian typical.




At some point, Missoni collection it was more like the Asian meet Tribal. If you know what I mean. And the last of the herd, would be like Oscar de la Renta meet Shanghai Tang. This is definitely something I'd like to have if I own villa properties in Africa. Some huge papper lamp with tribal mood, graphic cushion with tons of colors, big arm chair sofa in earth tone & light coffee table. You shall not be disappointed especially with the way they styling the booth, almost flawlessly relaxed.



And if I still have a few rooms for more in my future properties in Africa, I would venture this Thai inspired modern lamp and inspired paper lantern chadelier. The stylish look of this both lamp was appetizing with the craftmanship. While the selection of the material for the lamp pleasing my eyes. Visually appealing for local Asian lamp ideas.

But I have to admit it, my favorite pieces from the collection above, actually far from what I want for my home...I'm still vintage modern classic at heart, but with some twist of twiggy and lil'bit country at mind.. 

I'm lucky that in Milan Fair I have a chance to interview Marcel Wanders, Piero Lissoni and Front design..
