Balance
Challenging gravity and searching for balance. Key words when it comes to characterizing some of the latest product designs, as presented at the latest interior design fairs. Designers are keen on exploring these principles and come up with ingenious new items that incorporate a certain pureness and longevity. Items that balance between art and design. Like the ‘Wireline’ lamp on the left picture, created by Formafantasme for Flos. Or the ‘Bold Table’, a table designed in 2018 by Daniele Lago that is the best example of challenging the force of gravity. The new table is supported by a single, off-centre element that bears the weight of an ultra-thin top with elegant rounded corners. The magic is in the shadow, a physical black element that sidesteps the presence of a base while stabilising the table leg. Or simply find balance in a harmonious compilation of square shapes to present some of your decorative treasures.
