Even King Solomon manifested it, in one of his famous clauses: "I prefer to eat greens with no master above my head than having royal meals with people around burden me". In this year's Salone del Mobile 2019, design abolishes all stylistic restrictions and architectural dogmas and goes unleashed and uncensored. Freedom, diversity, rebellion, courage and the optimism of a good fighter against social and economic uncomformities, the Salone current keeps flowing and strirring all things new in the industry.
Design 4 Food, the central theme of this years edition and other stories from Salone Satellite 2019: The primal human condition is trying to prevail against all odds and the biggest and most talented crowd of young designers drive on the new forces of design in order to recycle, renew, rediscover and simply INVENT, in the age of scarcities. Among the highlights of the exhibition, the French Gwillen brings back the spotlight to the legendary French school in Design, the latter taking a break these last years in general-with the Spanish, the Japanese, the Korean, the Brazilian among others- keeping up steadily with the most impressive presentations in the latest versions of Salone Satellite. Apparently the French representation is back after a prolonged absence in Salone Satellite with some really exciting designers in nano-materials, interiors, textiles and furniture. Gwillen works with marine sediments and transforming them into materials for design and architecture (in photo bellow), with exquisite results. Heirs of Matali Crasset and P. Starck, these young designers just rock the Salone with that French twist we missed so much.
