Magnificence In Milan

In April, the Salon del Mobile once again marked the calendar of design enthusiasts around the globe. Despite certain times for the world at large, brands bought their A-game with lavish stands, luxurious pieces and classy styling.

With the aim to drive contemporary design forward in Malaysia by showcasing only the very best in European design, Studio216 is a design house in Kuala Lumpur which houses the likes of Porada, Flexform, Cierre, Gallotti & Radice, Rimadesio, Penta, Ethimo, Georg Jensen and Secto. Attending this year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan, Studio216 got a glimpse into the brands latest designs and the international creatives behind the magic. Some key pieces that got their attention included a redesign of Porada’s Tondo Table by Essetipi which now sports a shiny-lacquered base; a luxuriously soft new sofa design by Antonio Citterio for Flexform; a glamorous, circular Carrara marble dining table by Gabriele Buratti for Galloti & Radice; and an innovative and adaptable walk-in closet concept designed by Giuseppe Bavuso for Rimadesio.
