The limit between architecture and design perfectly disappears by the Porro booth at the Milan furnishing exhibition.

Porro closes its refined geometrical world in an opalescent white box, where walls consisting of notched plates in transparent polycarbonate isolating the visitor from the Exhibition noise, moving into an entirely white universe, discovering the new and welcoming 2011 proposals.
Inside, the exhibition moves on 4 levels connected by wide stairs to create a sort of stage: the style is uniform, designed thinking about the contrast between materials, geometric simplicity and primary colors.

Porro 2011 collection widens its shake, colours and finishes as to offer objects of desire perfectly matching modern taste and memories, function and beauty, reinterpreting the past in an intimate flowing future, where to live in harmony.

You can find Porro at Bredaquaranta, one of his authorised dealer, in Sesto San Giovanni (Milan).

Choose the sofa is not just a matter of design and style but also a problem of space and function: that’s why the choice starts from the place where the sofa should be put.

For entrance and office, for example, it’s necessary not only comfort but also practicalness and small size.

For the living area instead you can have also a larger size sofa, it depends on the size of the room, bearing in mind that a sofa bed is always an ideal solution in case of any guests.

In a one-room-flat sizes are fundamental: it’s always good to go to a store with the plan of the room and get help on the placement of the sofa bed because once opened, you should still have the space to be able to walk around with comfort.

Over 100 products “touchable and visible” make up the scenario of an experience aimed at reconstructing the path of one of the strongest events of the contemporary creative scene.

The portrait of Karim Rashid at the Triennale di Milano is a path of 400 square meters dedicated to his work, his career, his talent and then to their projects and products for some of the most important companies in the world.

“The figure goes beyond the designer Karim Rashid, has a boundless popularity, reflects the personality of an artist full. Karim Rashid has captured the market with over 3000 projects in production, multifaceted, eccentric, able to perceive beyond what is normal reactions and feelings generated by the space and what it takes. Karim Rashid has a dream: change the world with design. The exhibition at the Triennale gives voice to this dream.” Said Marco Casamonti, curator.

On March 17^th, 2011 Italy will turn 150 years old.

The country of sun, food and design, a bit bruised but still standing, has come a long way away from the March 17^th , 1861 when the new parliament ratified the proclamation of the kingdom of Italy, with its capital in Turin.

In about two years, from spring 1859 to spring 1861, came from an Italy divided into seven states, the new kingdom: it began to spread the belief that a united Italy might be an element of stability for the whole continent.

We want to make lots of greetings on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy celebrating the primacy of Italian design with this special flag…made of furniture!

Durante il prossimo Fuorisalone 2011, che si terrà in concomitanza con il Salone del Mobile dal 12 al 17 aprile 2011, Moroso allestirà a Milano l’esposizione “Twilight”.

La nuova poltrona di Tokujin Yoshioka per il marchio italiano Moroso si chiama Moon e sarà presentata ufficialmente durante l’esposizione. S’ispira a una luce effimera, come lo è quella lunare, che nasce e scompare all’improvviso. La poltroncina Moon gioca con la luce e con i materiali, entrambi temi cari a Yoshioka, e s’ispira alla bellezza di luci e ombre proprie della luna.

Tokujin Yoshioka ha preso parte a numerosi progetti a fianco di stilisti di moda, progettando anche diversi store di marchi famosi e realizzando l’installazione intitolata Issey Miyake Making Things per la fondazione Cartier di Parigi.

Alla mostra “Twilight” di Moroso, un’installazione e una serie di sedute Moon mostreranno proprio le sue capacità di risposta alla luce.

Durante l’esposizione “Twilight”, infatti, verranno creati dei raggi di luce nello spazio bianco, come se la luce fosse spezzata attraverso una nube: la luce si rifletterà sulla superficie delle sedie e rivelerà la bellezza delle texture, rese possibili grazie all’utilizzo di vari materiali bianchi.

Moroso ti aspetta al Fuorisalone 2011 con tante novità, che potrai poi trovare da Bredaquaranta, a Sesto San Giovanni (MI), suo rivenditore ufficiale.

Valcucine nel corso degli anni ha sviluppato studi ergonomici avanzati per realizzare una cucina personalizzata, nella quale dimensioni, distanze, sistemi di apertura e di accessibilità si adattano perfettamente a chi la utilizzerà, come un vestito tagliato “su misura”.

Valcucine, da sempre attenta a soddisfare i bisogni dell’utente finale, ha svolto un’accurata analisi sull’utilizzo delle cucine tradizionali mettendo a punto alcuni accorgimenti per migliorare l’interazione fra l’uomo e l’intero “sistema” cucina.

Dopo aver rivoluzionato l’ergonomia presentando Logica System nel 1996, caratterizzata da 80cm di profondità, canale attrezzato, cestoni estraibili, pensili con ante a ribalta Ala e Aerius, Valcucine presenta il nuovo schienale attrezzato.

Questo innovativo schienale è in grado di ospitare e nascondere, all’occorrenza, tutte le attrezzature da cucina: lo scolapiatti, la bilancia, i piccoli elettrodomestici, i contenitori estraibili per cucinare, i portabottiglie,  le prese elettriche, un monitor, il portarotoli, il rubinetto, i ganci porta mestoli e anche la cappa.
