I am not a big fan of trends and love to limit it to color choices dominant during a certain period. What strikes me more at design exhibitions is about spotting signs of innovation which can shape the future of design, rather than some quirky ideas that pop up to die. Here are our four key takeaways in ineterior and product trends from Milan Design Week 2018.
Integration of multiple functionality:
Though it is not new to add more than one function in a product, this time I could find a wave of this concept throughout the exhibition. It is not easy to create products or designs with multiple functions in one unit. This challenge has probably tickled the minds of designers to try new ideas. I have spotted chairs with excellent acoustic barriers (Artikepo), a shower spotted that’s also a lamp (Fima Carlo Frattini), a bath that’s also a gym (Scavolini), a cabinet that’s also a speaker (Paulo Cappello) and so on... #SR100DesignsfromMilan2018 has covered them all.
Why waste any waste: As awareness is growing, designers are searching for waste materials to use for designing meaningful things. Trashplast is plastic made from 100% waste. Check out plug-in chair featured by Surfaces Reporter magazine June issue. It is created by interlocking pieces of woodworking waste materials. "What will happen if an old manufacturing process meets cheap and mass-produced material?" asks Kodai Iwamoto. He uses plastic pipes used for distributing water to make objects by the technique of glass blowing. A more tech-drenched world for socalled ‘better experience’: Milan Design
Week saw Google’s debut installation, ‘Softwear,’ an installation that showcased real-life connection with tech. Panasonic showcased ‘Air Inventions’ a huge ‘water-drop pavilion’ that showed their latest airconditioning technology, allowing visitors to experience the cleanest, purest air in Milan. Miele introduced the world first: the Miele Dialog oven and its innovative M Chef technology.

Design aiding fitness, wellness and good living: After wellness, which is continuing to rule the
design domain, fitness has taken designers by storm. Last year I wrote about ‘Furniture that aids fitness’ and this year I saw Kengo Kuma’s giant spiralling air-purifying sculpture in the SuperStudio with the ability to absorb the emissions of 90,000 cars per year. It is called ‘breath/ng,’ 6 meters tall and has 120 hand-folded panels. This is the kind of design we need, and I deeply respect Kengo's work. Similarly, young designers were seen showcasing products that aid fitness at work. Scavolini booth had a gym setup integrated with the bathroom. A lady was demonstrating the application to the visitors. [The designs mentioned are a part of the showcase published by Surfaces Reporter June 2018 issue ‘100 Designs from Milan’.

"We are extremely proud of the success of this event and of the level of professionals who have come to this edition, proving that the Salone del Mobile is a global benchmark. A unique event, in which business and culture become the virtual model for an Italy that functions, where the industrial system and the institutions are working in sync towards a common goal." - Claudio Luti, President, Salone del Mobile

#SR100DesignsFromMilan2018 Welcome to the 4th edition of Surfaces Reporter magazine’s 100 Designs from Milan! Salone del Mobile and the events across Fuorisalone were about 6 magical days of design celebration with 1372 events in 17 routes across Milan. Salone del Mobile event registered 1841 exhibitors and an overwhelming 4,34,509 attendees from 188 countries.
Visiting the design event and covering the best of it has always been an overwhelming & passionate experience. Doing it through the lenses makes the process even more intense! Post that, the compilation and selection is definitely an extremely tedious job. It takes several rounds of checking, inspection, comparison, studying and researching to arrive at about 300 designs. Work is tougher from this point up to the output of final 100 Designs. However, we enjoy doing it for our discerned readers who continue to motivate us with their messages and posts. Proud to be the 1st print media in the world to have covered a global design event to this extent of 4 times in a row with 100 designs each time! Surfaces Reporter’s Vertica Dvivedi and Madhurima clicked around 3000 photos this year whilst about 500 more designs poured down from designers who participated in the show. #SR100DesignsFromMilan2018 is a special issue documented in printed issue of Surfaces Reporter magazine June 2018 edition. It covers selected designs from the collection of Surfaces Reporter’s photography as well as the ones received from some international brands & designers. Enjoy the collection and do write to us about your views about the issue at madhu@surfaces.in. #SR100DesignFromMilan2018 #SurfacesReporter www.surfacesreporter.com
