7 of the hottest looks from this year’s Salone del Mobile.<br />
WORDS BY JENNIFER CHOO IMAGES BY STUDIO 216<br />
Every year Milan hosts the Salone del Mobile, the biggest event in the design calendar, and its many<br />
off-site events. For one week, the Italian city is taken over by brands showcasing their latest designs<br />
and international creatives, buyers and press eager to discover what’s new and what’s hot.<br />
Despite being uncertain times for the world at large, the vibe at this year’s 57th edition seemed<br />
like big business was back with brands pulling out the stops with lavish stands, luxurious pieces and classy<br />
styling. Here are some key pieces from the brands for your consideration:<br />
CIERRE<br />
Romano and Cesarina Conficconi founded<br />
Cierre in 1976 on a dream of creating products<br />
that were their own – designed and realised – thanks<br />
to artisan know-how passed on from generation to<br />
generation, perfected with passion before finding their<br />
ultimate homes.<br />
Since the 1970s, each generation of the family has contributed to<br />
enriching the company’s expertise. The “ living in leather” concept originated in<br />
the ‘80s thanks to an idea developed by Stefano and Alberto Conficconi, who decided<br />
to highlight the uniqueness of Cierre’s 100% leather products. With modern<br />
management and a dynamic productive process, the next generation has made Cierre<br />
a well-established name in the European network of “ Made in Italy” products, without<br />
losing the “family-business spirit” that characterises and drives the company.<br />
