Madeline O’Malley’s Favorite Salone Trends

Every spring, design lovers flock to Milan for Salone del Mobile. While there‘s endless inspiration at every turn, these are the top trends I spotted during this year’s festival.

Bamboo

“I always love bamboo, trendy or not. So it was a treat to see so much of it around Milan this season. From Gucci's Bamboo Encounters exhibition to pieces at Loewe, Etro, and Fendi Casa, the bohemian staple was aplenty.”

Lacquer

“A good hit of shiny color livens up any space. Sometimes it's just the pop needed to inject glamour or frivolity. I saw great lacquer pieces at Frigerio, Fendi Casa, and Porada.”

Jade Green

“It colors always seem to surface after weeks like Salone. This year, jade and variations of pale pastel greens were everywhere. Maybe it's the American obsession with Marchesi, or maybe it's the fabrics at Edra, the backdrops at Gucci, and the tile top tables at Minotti.”
