GREEN EDGE BY ANNE LÄNDLE

Created by designer Anne Ländle, Green Edge explores how overlooked natural resources can become the materials of tomorrow. The project combines grass clippings collected from ecologically valuable roadside areas with wood waste from CNC milling to develop a new bio-based material for furniture production.
More than a material experiment, Green Edge is a reflection on circular design, local resources and sustainable manufacturing. The resulting furniture piece celebrates the beauty of its raw ingredients while demonstrating how waste can be reimagined as a valuable resource for contemporary design.
A thoughtful project that invites us to rethink not only what furniture is made of, but also where its materials come from.

GAYA BIKES

What if the family bike could be as practical as a cargo bike, as comfortable as a scooter, and as stylish as a design object?
French brand GAYA was created with exactly this idea in mind. Designed for everyday urban life, GAYA electric cargo bikes combine safety, comfort and contemporary aesthetics to make city mobility easier for families. With their distinctive silhouette, integrated lighting system, turn signals and family-friendly configurations, GAYA bikes are designed to simplify daily journeys, whether it's the school run, grocery shopping or a weekend ride through the city.

These are bikes created not only to move people, but to encourage a more sustainable, enjoyable and human way of living in the city. Beautifully designed, thoughtfully engineered and made for real life, GAYA represents a new vision of family mobility.

CARNATION LAMP BY GABRIEL TAN

Some design objects illuminate a space. Others tell a story. The Carnation Lamp by Gabriel Tan does both. Inspired by Portugal's historic Carnation Revolution, this sculptural lighting piece transforms a symbol of peace and hope into a contemporary design object.
Its elegant structure combines slender steel stems, natural ash wood and delicate washi paper shades that bloom like carnations, creating a warm and atmospheric light. The result is a lamp that feels both light and expressive, balancing craftsmanship, history and modern aesthetics.
Designed for contemporary interiors, the Carnation Lamp is more than a source of illumination: it is a statement piece that invites reflection while bringing softness and character to a room.
We love designs that combine beauty, meaning and exceptional craftsmanship. The Carnation Lamp is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can turn everyday objects into something truly memorable.

BENTO BY FURF DESIGN STUDIO FOR PEQUETITOS

Created by Brazilian studio Furf Design Studio for Pequetitos, the Bento collection celebrates childhood through simplicity, symbolism, and thoughtful design.
Comprising a chair and a small table, the collection is inspired by a child's perception of the world, where everyday objects appear larger than life. With clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic, Bento uses minimal material resources while maximizing emotional and symbolic value.
The collection also marks an important chapter for Pequetitos, bringing back the iconic button motif that appeared in the brand's earliest creations. At the same time, it pays tribute to the Saint Benedict medal, a symbol of protection and connection.
One of Bento's most distinctive features is its visible structural joint, which forms a subtle plus sign. More than a construction detail, it represents the collection's purpose: bringing people together and strengthening the bond between Pequetitos and the families who grow with the brand.
Playful, meaningful, and beautifully crafted, Bento demonstrates how children's furniture can combine function, storytelling, and timeless design in a simple yet powerful way.

ATELIER POUPÉE BY ESZTER RÉTI

Created by architect Eszter Réti in Grenoble, France, Prototypes is a series of miniature houses that blurs the boundaries between architectural model, toy, and design object.
Rather than traditional dollhouses, these handcrafted wooden structures are conceived as small architectural environments. Openings, staircases, platforms, and voids shape the interiors, creating layered spaces that invite exploration, observation, and imaginative storytelling.
Drawing on Réti's architectural background and her interest in childhood spaces, each piece is carefully built by hand and characterized by bold colors, simple geometries, and meticulous attention to detail. The result is a collection that feels both playful and sophisticated, appealing to children and design enthusiasts alike.
With Prototypes, Atelier Poupée transforms architecture into a tactile experience, encouraging curiosity and creativity through small-scale construction. The project offers a unique reflection on how we perceive and inhabit space, proving that even the smallest structures can inspire big ideas.

VIPP X MESURA: A PLAYFUL GUESTHOUSE FOR 3DAYSOFDESIGN 2026

For 3daysofdesign 2026, Vipp continues its exploration of contemporary guesthouse design with a new collaboration featuring Barcelona-based architecture and design studio mesura.
Following last year's project with Studio KO, Vipp transforms its Copenhagen campus into an immersive installation inspired by the simple and universal act of gathering. Rooted in the spirit of the Danish Midsummer celebration, the temporary guesthouse unfolds across Vipp's courtyard and garage, where a vibrant plaid fabric drapes over spaces and furniture, creating a playful landscape for relaxation, conversation, and connection.
Known for its multidisciplinary approach spanning architecture, interiors, and urban design, mesura reimagines the guesthouse as a shared experience rather than a private retreat. The result is a welcoming "playhouse" that reflects the Danish concept of hygge through comfort, togetherness, and everyday moments.
Presented during 3daysofdesign, the installation invites visitors to experience a different vision of hospitality-one where home is defined by the people who gather within it.

ELASTIC LIGHT BY JUSTUS HILFENHAUS

Elastic Light by Justus Hilfenhaus transforms a simple everyday action into an engaging exploration of material properties and light.
The project rethinks the traditional light switch by harnessing the unique elasticity of natural rubber. As the material is stretched, the intensity of the light gradually increases, creating a direct and intuitive connection between movement, material, and illumination.
More than a lighting object, Elastic Light invites users to experience the physical qualities of natural rubber firsthand. The interaction between its resting state and maximum elasticity becomes a playful gesture that simultaneously reveals the material's potential and controls a dimmable light source.
By combining experimentation, sustainability, and user interaction, Justus Hilfenhaus demonstrates how design can make us more aware of the materials that surround us, transforming an ordinary switch into a tactile and meaningful experience.

TWO STEP BY ANTHONY GUEX FOR KOIVU

One of the most interesting projects we came across is Two Step, a minimalist and multifunctional wooden piece designed by Anthony Guex for Koivu.
Crafted from ash wood, Two Step reinterprets the traditional step stool as a versatile object that seamlessly integrates into contemporary interiors. More than just a functional tool, it can serve as a small ladder, a stool, a side table, or even a compact shelf, adapting effortlessly to different everyday needs.
Its simple geometry, refined craftsmanship, and thoughtful proportions reflect a design philosophy centered on utility, durability, and timeless aesthetics. Rather than being hidden away after use, Two Step is designed to remain visible, becoming an integral part of the home.
With this project, Koivu and Anthony Guex demonstrate how contemporary furniture design can elevate ordinary objects, transforming them into versatile companions for everyday life through simplicity, functionality, and enduring quality.

FLOWERS IN WONDERLAND: MURANO GLASS LIGHTHING BY ALESSANDRA BALDERESCHI FOR MULTIMFORME

Among the most enchanting discoveries, Flowers in Wonderland by Alessandra Baldereschi for Multiforme celebrates the timeless beauty of flowers through the art of Murano glass.
Inspired by the dreamlike world of Wonderland, the collection features six handcrafted glass flowers that transform into delicate table lamps. Created by Multiforme's master glassmakers using traditional Murano techniques, each flower is distinguished by unique textures, soft pastel shades, and organic shapes that evoke the charm of blooming buds.
The project seamlessly blends craftsmanship, design, and technology. When placed inside a specially designed glass vase, the flowers illuminate with a soft, diffused glow, creating a magical atmosphere. A wireless rechargeable version is also available, allowing the luminous flowers to adapt effortlessly to different spaces and settings.
With Flowers in Wonderland, Multiforme once again demonstrates its ability to reinterpret Murano glass tradition through a contemporary lens, creating decorative lighting pieces that are both functional and poetic.
A project that reminds us how design can transform light, craftsmanship, and imagination into objects capable of telling stories and evoking emotions.

ReEdit

Among the many projects we discovered during the Salone, Re-Edit Lab immediately stood out for its thoughtful approach to sustainability, material research, and social interaction.
Inspired by the vibrant street life of Hong Kong, the project reimagines the traditional public chess table through a contemporary design lens, transforming it into a space that encourages connection, conversation, and community engagement.
What makes the project particularly compelling is its innovative use of recycled and circular materials. The table is crafted from bamboo and repurposed tea waste, giving a second life to everyday materials through a process that combines craftsmanship, experimentation, and sustainable design principles.
Re-Edit Lab represents a new generation of design projects that go beyond aesthetics, placing equal importance on human relationships, environmental responsibility, and material innovation. It demonstrates how design can become a catalyst for social exchange while addressing the urgent need for more sustainable production methods.
Projects like this remind us that design has the power not only to create meaningful connections between people, but also to uncover value in what is often overlooked or discarded. By transforming waste into a resource and public furniture into a platform for interaction, Re-Edit Lab offers an inspiring vision of what the future of socially conscious and environmentally responsible design can look like.

HÉLIO CHAIR BY DRUGEOT MANUFACTURE

Among the many inspiring pieces discovered during this year’s Salone del Mobile, the Hélio Chair by Drugeot Manufacture immediately caught our attention for its refined balance between craftsmanship, comfort and contemporary design. Designed with soft upholstered seating and a beautifully sculptural wooden structure, Hélio perfectly reflects the poetic and architectural language of the French maison. Its elegant lines and warm materiality make it a versatile piece, ideal for sophisticated dining spaces as well as refined contract interiors.
What we especially loved is the dialogue between solid wood and textile: a combination that gives the chair both visual lightness and a strong decorative identity.
Faithful to the philosophy of Drugeot Manufacture, Hélio celebrates sustainable production, timeless aesthetics and the excellence of French craftsmanship — values that continue to inspire the world of contemporary interiors.
A chair designed not only to furnish a space, but to bring character and harmony into everyday living.

CARPET CHAIR BY SOFIA VENETUCCI X VIRÔ

Fuorisalone always leaves us with new design obsessions - and the Carpet Chair by Sofia Venetucci x Virô is definitely one of them.
Presented during Milan Design Week 2026, this experimental chair transforms reclaimed carpet remnants from temporary installations into a bold and sculptural seating piece. By layering leftover carpet to build both the seat and backrest, the project redefines the concept of upholstery in contemporary furniture design.
The exposed steel structure, visible screws and raw construction details become part of the aesthetic language, celebrating material reuse rather than hiding it. Developed by Sofia Venetucci in collaboration with Virô, the project gives a second life to scenographic waste through an innovative and highly tactile approach.
A perfect example of circular design, material experimentation and contemporary craftsmanship - exactly the kind of discovery we love bringing back from Fuorisalone.
