Clever, versatile, modern: the pendant lamps presented at the fair in April challenge common perception by concealing the light source, focusing on the combination of reassuring forms and innovative materials or even by deploying modularity and extreme customization.
A dedication to Italian design
The May issue of ELLE Decor US pays tribute to the Bel Paese, from a cover title that amounts to a dedication – “Italy Forever” – to a last page that contains a series of stories and articles from Italy to celebrate design with a capital “D”
A year after its first special, ELLE Decor US has published a second issue dedicated to Italy, recalling and celebrating its openness and the key role that Made in Italy still plays in the global furnishing and design markets. In the run-up to “supersalone”, the stories in this special May issue are designed to honour a country crammed with inspiration from North to South: a (solved) design mystery in Milan, the Roman loft with its view over the Colosseum renovated by architect duo Alvisi Kirimoto, a seductive mix of modernism and classicism. An aspirational villa on Capri; family-run businesses, the beating heart of Italian design. This issue not only celebrates design but also Italian ability to build little pleasures into everyday lives.
