Velvet, lacquered finishes, geometric shapes. Warm and earthy colors paired with neutral tones such as beige or cream, or intense blues and azures, bring the enveloping lines of modular sofas and soft armchairs to life. 2024 designer furniture is inspired by the '70s. It draws fully from the Space Age and Italian Radical Design while being firmly rooted in current times.
Cassina reissues Cornaro, the upholstered furniture line designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1973, updating its proportions to make the seat more welcoming. The collection keeps its characteristic profile in beech with glossy lacquer finish or ash with open-pore matte lacquer finish - a squared structure that contains the enveloping upholstered cushions, filled with sustainable materials.
Zanotta has made it possible to sit on Gomma, the decidedly unconventional armchair imagined in 1970 by the prolific Italian designers De Pas, D'urbino, Lomazzi. Scratchy style, bold colours, typical traits of an era dominated by the desire for irony and freedom.
The Dune bookcase, by Draga & Aurel for Baxter, is a tribute to the visionary aesthetics of the 1970s. Made of stainless steel sheet, a bright, futuristic, reflective material that folds to form shelves, it adds sophisticated glamour to the pop universe. The Aura modular sofa by Hannes Peer for Baxter's 2024 collection is openly inspired by 1970s conversation pits and recalls the style of John Lautner's Los Angeles mansions, such as the Sheats-Goldstein Residence. Precious in its elegant rhubarb colour, it offers a spacious and comfortable seat, the ideal spot for relaxation.
Duke and Ernest are two of Poliform 2024's new additions, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud. Duke is a collection of sideboards that enhances the workmanship of fine cabinet making by softening the geometric rigor with rounded perimeter lines and refined details such as the metal and leather tray. Ernest is a modular sofa inspired by the softness of feather cushions, offering natural comfort and versatility to create moteple configurations.
Patricia Urquiola's Gruuve for Moroso captures the spirit of the 1970s as well, reinterpreting the non-conformist idea of free composition sofas in a contemporary key. The fluid, irregular lines of the four modules create traditional seating on the front and more informal convivial spaces along the back.
Molteni&C presents the new 2024 version of Vincent Van Duysen's Augusto modular sofa. The blue velvet version, with its characteristic piping that enhances its shapes, highlights its design's ability to blend classic lines with contemporary taste. The new modular elements, such as chaise longue and islands, allow for customised configurations.
The profile of Johnny and Ronny bedside tables by Meridiani seems to be inspired by the moon landing. Designed by Andrea Parisio, they stand out for their lowered top, available in glossy or matt lacquer finish, like the structure, or in marble. The collection can be equipped with a refined leather top that can be freely positioned on the tops.
The Small Hours bathroom collection by Patricia Urquiola for Salvatori is inspired by the tranquillity of dawn and combines marble and steel in pure and essential geometric shapes, declined in multiple colours (such as Verde Guatemala and Verde Antico) and textures (including Quadricola, made up of modules composed of a mosaic of 6 tiles). Washbasins, bathtubs and mirrors are designed to elevate the bathroom to a private corner where the routine of waking up becomes an aesthetic and contemplative experience.
