PRODUCT TREND
N O S TA L G I C LU X U RY
At a time of collective anxiety and a yearning for a simpler era, designers and
manufacturers are looking to the nostalgic return of the strangely familiar-recalling
comforting details of past decades such as Art Deco decorative touches, '70s glam
finishes, and a return to high-end craftsmanship with unique, sensuous finishes
combined with soft contours and voluptuous proportions. Blending style with function,
these products transform distinctive silhouettes into luxurious sculptural forms.
2. Ceramica Sant'Agostino Insideart Tile
Insideart reinterprets terrazzo on a new level,
infusing it with drama and a painterly touch. The
"Palladian Star" and "Palladian Moon" patterns
feature massive fragments of swirling, marbled
color inspired by manually applied resin,
presenting a fresh take on this classic material.

1. Pedrali Jazz Chair
Harmony of shapes, ergonomics, and elegance
are the characteristics of the Jazz chair. The seat
and the curved backrest are supported by a light
steel structure. Personalization is ensured by the
combination of the upholstery, in fabric or
simulated leather, and different steel finishes.

3. Ligne Roset Hémicycle Conversation Seating
This sofa, designed by Philippe Nigro for the
official government buildings of France, is meant
for use in institutions and public spaces. It's part
of a collection that includes an armchair, a settee,
and finally a conversation seat for two people.

5. TON Ginger Armchair
Designed by the Yonoh studio, this lightweight
and compact armchair blends gentle contours
with a comfortable contemporary design. Inspired
by the bulbous stem of the medicinal ginger plant,
the upholstered armchair is solidly built without
appearing heavy. A slight bend on the upper part
of the chair legs pays homage to TON's signature
wood-bending technique.

4. Fermob Bebop Table
This aluminum table, designed by Tristan Lohner,
is ultralight, and slim, and works equally as a side
table or pedestal table, indoors and outdoors.

6. Dante Goods and Bads Come
As You Are Bar Cart
By reducing the quantity of components to its
essence, the three-dimensional use of the outer
railing, which acts to envelop and unite the two
overlapping serving surfaces, overcomes the
soberness of this archetype of the serving trolley.
