It’s not about vintage. It is rather the search for modernity in the quality of the materials, from the most traditional to the most innovative, conjugated in organic forms in which functionality is not necessarily synonymous of minimalism. And yet the rediscovery of color, often mushy and never flat. We can see this in the Bandy sofa by Bonaldo, without arms and with legs in painted metal, low and stretched, for a measured comfort as to invite you to an elegant posture. Also in their proposal for the bedroom, Basketball Plus, the padded headboard, which makes the bed cozy, invokes in its textile and shape the typical modernist look of the Fifties. Slender and elegant, as the name Gazelle suggests, is the armchair by Sergio Brioschi for Very Wood, made of American walnut, whose slight frame is covered, among others, in a definetly retro plaid. In perfect harmony with the Bellevue collection, by This Weber, always for Very Wood, with tables and armchairs playing with wood and upholstery, to customize environments where home and formality do not necessarily travel on parallel tracks. Same apparent stiffness of Usm’s colored furniture systems, which instead stimulate creativity for their different configurations, between home environment and work space. Tagina thought to the most hated feature in 50s-60s buildings: the use of small tiles, different for each room. They reinterpreted the concept proposing coatings where to mix different colors and patterns for a tactile effect, as well as visual. A trend, perhaps, aimed to rediscover the elegance of the house, space not only personal but also social, where to receive and entertain.
