The Milan Salone del Mobile has revealed the future direction of global design practices. From among the inspiring collections, we have selected those that push the boundaries of aesthetics and function, reflect current developments in sustainability and provide solutions for timeless interiors. What new products have caught our eye enough to be featured in our portfolio soon?
"Salone del Mobile 2025 has confirmed to us that the contemporary trend in applied design continues to move towards the fusion of nature and technology. Organic shapes, sustainable materials and smart solutions are defining new standards. The last few years have seen brand after brand moving towards a deeper responsibility - not only towards the environment, but also towards the needs of users. Products combine aesthetics with functionality and often redefine the very essence of beauty in the context of everyday life. The strong artistic overlap that renowned international designers bring to the collections ensures that these products have both character and cultural value," says Lucie Řezníčková, co-owner of Konsepti.
Last year, Arper launched a new generation of its iconic Catifa collection with the Catifa Carta 53, designed by Lievore Altherr Molina. The chair is made from PaperShell, an innovative material that is made from waste from the woodworking industry and has an extremely low carbon footprint. Thanks to a pyrolysis process, it can be converted into biochar at the end of its life, with an overall environmental impact up to 52% lower than traditional polypropylene.
New this year is a wooden four-legged base option, which further reduces CO₂ emissions by 20% compared to the metal option. In addition, Arper unveiled a prototype of the Catifa Carta 46 with a modified PaperShell shell and a new version of the Catifa (RE) 46 made from 100% recycled plastic at the show.
This year, the Moroso brand has attracted attention with the Gruuvelot, a modular lounge system designed by Patricia Urquiola that elaborates on the original Gruuve solitary model and thus goes beyond traditional seating. Organic volumes, soft growths and a changing structure create a living, almost animalistic ecosystem that responds to the presence of the body and redefines the relationship between user and object. Open, arching and spatially generous, the material underlines Patricia Urquiola's vision of the infinite possibilities of textile design - a force that has shaped and transformed our world since the beginning of civilization.
Since 2002, B&B Italia's legendary Metropolitan collection has become a symbolic milestone in lounge chair design. Its latest revision, the Metropolitan Relax model by New York designer Jeffrey Bernetto, takes the seating experience to a new level with a subtle tilt and swivel mechanism that naturally follows the body's movement. The innovative backrest with integrated headrest ensures maximum comfort and support in any position.
The iconic Tufty-Time modular system, designed by Patricia Urquiola in 2005, has received a spectacular reinterpretation this year. The Tufty-Time 20 retains the distinctive elements that have made it a worldwide success – high comfort, variability and distinctive upholstery articulation. Sustainability has also been emphasised: the entire system is fully disassembled, allowing all components to be recycled or reused at the end of their useful life.
Lilium 50 is a rare limited edition created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Maxalto. Only fifty pieces were produced, each one representing a unique combination of art and design. The fine linen fabric, developed exclusively for this collection, has been transformed by cutting-edge reproduction technology into an artistic canvas bearing the signature of Dutch painter Patrick van Riemsdijk. The print mimics the brushstroke, creating a visual counterpoint to the elegant morphology of the Lilium sofa, and emphasising its timeless silhouette. Each piece in the collection comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity, signed by Antonio Citterie, the designer.
The special edition of the iconic Pathos table, designed by Antonio Citterio in 2011, has received an update this year. The new version impresses with a load-bearing frame in laser-cut bronze and a solid Italian walnut top with exposed, unfinished edges. This contrast between formal elegance and raw material gives the classic model a new, contemporary expression. Pathos 50 thus perfectly captures Maxalto's ability to innovate and develop its own style without losing its identity.
The Sooso wooden stool by Walter Knoll from the Austrian studio EOOS is an object with an exceptional sculptural aesthetic that combines precise craftsmanship, a sustainable approach and timeless character. Its name is based on the Japanese word Sōzō - sculpture - and fully reflects the nature of the sculptural composition. The velvety soft surface and natural texture of the wood make it a haptic visual work that conducts a fluid and confident dialogue with the space in which it is placed.
EOOS's Shinzo Hybrid brings iconic lounge design from indoors to outdoors - with ease, elegance and unexpected flexibility. A distinctive hand-woven structure of durable cords winds its way around the powder-coated stainless steel frame, creating a masterfully crafted object with a surprisingly airy expression. Thanks to its integrated castors, Shinzo Hybrid moves effortlessly between indoors and outdoors - whether standing by the pool, in the spa area or in a sunny corner of the living room. Durable, quick-drying materials make it a timeless piece that will stand up to any season.
