Today we wrap our coverage of Milan Design Week 2017 with some of the most forward-looking designs on show – from impossibly delicate LED light fixtures to material bending wood furniture… the future of design looks bright and here are just a few reasons why. Shown above – the TRIE Low Table by Zaha Hadid Design for Sawaya & Moroni.

 

 

Magnifier ceiling lights, 2016 by Forma Fantasma for Giustini – Stagetti Galleria O. Roma.

 

THE ELEGANT… Magnifier series combines gilded brass, LED lighting, and a simple glass lens to create beautiful light-pool effects on whatever surface lies beneath. Made in a limited edition of 15.

 

 

Serena table lamp by Patricial Urquiola for Flos.

 

INSPIRED BY… nature, the adjustable Serena lamp reads like a leaf blowing in the wind. Its dynamic diffuser angles up and down allowing for precise light control all while cutting a statuesque profile.

 

 

Freeze lamp by Ricardo Saint-Clair of Studio Dialogo Design.

 

BURSTING WITH… personality, the Freeze lamp takes on anthropomorphic form as it stands in a frozen gesture designed to be viewed from every angle.

 

 

Canal Chair by Luca Nichetto for Moooi.

 

THE FLOOR… Composition, 2017 lamp by Michael Anastassiades breaks form from the archetypal floor lamp to explore light’s play on color and geometries.

 

 

Mobile Chandelier 13, 2017 by Michael Anastassiades.

 

DESIGNER… Micheal Anastassiades expands upon his 2015 ‘Mobile’ series with three new, calculatedly curvy fixtures in black patinated brass and opaline glass.

 

 

Mito floor lamp by Tom Fereday for Rakumba Lighting.

 

THE MODULAR… Mito lamp celebrates the natural beauty of raw materials while capitalizing on cutting edge manufacturing techniques. The result feels equal parts primitive and contemporary.

 

 

Cirque pendant lights by Giopato & Coombes.

 

COMPRISED OF… delicate glass chains joined by LED-infused gold rings, Giopato & Coombes’ new Lace fixture ushers lighting into the realm of sculptural art.

 

 

Arrangement by Michael Anastassiades for Flos.

 

ANASTASSIADES… has done it again, blowing our minds with something impossibly new and beautiful. The Arrangement series is a modular collection of LED shapes designed to be mixed and matched to create an elegant, jewelry like balance.

 

 

‘Mask’ project in Kvadrat fabric by GamFratesi.

 

DESIGNER… Luca Nichetto created 53 totem-like glass structures for luxury Venetian glassmaker Salviati. Entitled Pyrae, the collection was designed as a walk-through, immersive experience.

 

 

Arca Chandelier by Philippe Malouin for Matter.

 

A MASTER OF… playful beauty, designer Jaime Hayon partnered with the rug experts at Nanimarquina to translate his fanciful drawings into a whimsical collection of rugs.

 

Until next year!
