7 tendances vues à la Milan Design Week 2023
Du 17 au 23 avril 2023 a eu lieu la nouvelle édition de la Milan Design Week. Comme toujours, les rues de la capitale italienne bouillonnaient de créations et de scénographies inspirantes. Les marques, designers et éditeurs y ont révélé leurs nouveautés, ont investi les adresses emblématiques de la ville et ont dévoilé des installations hors du temps spécialement pour l’occasion.
Tout au long du parcours, GOODMOODS a repéré mille et une tendances dans l’air du temps : les pièces en résine glossée, les ODNI (Objet Design Non Identifié), le cuir indomptable, les formes atmo-sphériques… Retour sur 7 tendances qui ont marqué cet évènement incontournable du design international.
Gloss sublimateur

Lacquered furniture could well be the trend of the year 2023! Known for its protective and sublimating properties, this resinous material brings an invigorating patina to any surface it comes into contact with in a flash. During Milan Design Week, Studioutte, Studiopepe, Montrum Studio and Uma presented seats that were as brilliant as they were functional. From bamboo to wood to plastic, the three studios played with materials to create pieces of furniture that are disconcertingly soft.
Atmo-sphères

In paper mache, glass or metal, spheres are making their way into designers' creations. This year, Gubi has created TEN, an exhibition that pays tribute to GamFratesi's flagship chair: the Bettle. For the occasion, artist Frank Maria has created "Reel Beetle in Epoxy", a paper chair that represents the spherical exoskeleton of an ancient Egyptian beetle. The Bulb lamp by designer Adrian Cruz captures attention with its crystal resin bulb. Axel Chay uses three rounded supports to hold his geometric flowerpot available from 13 Desserts.
Nature inspirante

Since the dawn of time, nature has been a great source of inspiration for impressionist painters and other avant-garde designers. To celebrate the arrival of the warm weather, Carwan Gallery and designer Robert Stadler have presented OMG-GM, a collection of seven vitamin-rich pieces of furniture in which fruit and vegetables are at the centre of the design. The mood changes with Loewe and the patterns of its raffia chair, which represents the fly agaric, a hallucinogenic mushroom. The Danish gallery Tableau also presented "Citrus Saker", the polymorphic citrus fruit holder by designer Gert Wessels, during Milan Design Week.
Cuir indomptable

Both resistant and aesthetic, leather is one of the natural materials that marked Milan Design Week. Some luxury brands and designers demonstrated the malleability of this material by proposing creations that combine technique and singularity. This is the case of the Gaar stool by Nareg Krikorian, which uses the same techniques as a handbag, or the Ancelle sculptural armchair by Hermès. Designer Gaetano Pesce designed his first two leather bags for Bottega Veneta. These pieces bring back memories of his childhood, not far from the Este mountains in Italy
Tapisseries colorées

Tufted or woolen, colourful rugs are making their debut in 2023. During the Milan Design Week, Laura Niubó, CHEF DECO and ELIGOSTUDIO exhibited textile pieces with geometric or ethnic patterns that cover the floor in an instant. Minimalist, rectangular, XXL... The various models are designed to suit every space. A godsend for lovers of handmade products looking for a touch of spring in their homes.

Ondulations infinies
Rub Object
Wavy furniture is making its way into our homes this year. With their metallic curves, the Wavy seat by Fredrik Paulsen - designed for Vero International - and the shelf by Rub Objets seem to move discreetly around the room. The undulations of the Juv dining table - designed by Anna Maria Øfstedal Eng for Norwegian Presence - are an ode to nature, especially to mountain gorges.
Objets Design Non Identifiés

Straight from another world, the chimerical creations of certain designers are appealing. The proof is in the porcelain of ceramist Jihyun Kim, which is thought to ward off evil spirits, or Xaver Kuster's luminaire, which resembles an extraterrestrial creature. The Lashup studio presented an armchair at Alcova that looks like it is about to deflate.
