Home Life

Home Life
The home – the place of intimacy and daily
habits - is part of a constant metamorphosis
process and, at the same time, it is the
reflection of our evolving lifestyles.
As a result of globalization and its effects on
new nomadism, as well as of a pandemic
that confined billions of people to their own
four walls, the home is now at the center
of renewed attention and innovative design
research.
No longer linked to a functionalist ideal
nor conceived as a status symbol or the
representation of a symbolic universe,
the home is the expression of our desire
for physical and psychological wellbeing.
Furniture and objects designed in the
third decade of the new millennium are
conceived to meet modern needs and
establishing a lasting complicity with users.
Contemporary furniture pieces are highly
modular and adaptable to specific space
configurations. More and more efficient,
they combine multiple functions and change
their appearance to address our needs for
transformability. Smarter than ever, these
pieces contribute to purify air, spark our
imagination, or amuse us with unexpected
functions.
Together with versatility, sustainability is a
fundamental topic of contemporary home
design. In a threatened ecosystem like
ours, the desire for more greenery in indoor
environments becomes stronger by the day.
Through plants and flowers accessories,
multispecies artifacts as well as decoration
evoking nature, design now aims at soothing
our souls in need of a reconnection with
Mother Earth. The choice of ecofriendly
materials is a fundamental element: be
them recycled or natural or both, they are
given organic shapes and are intentionally
designed to have a second life.
Through the selection of a few particular
projects, Home Life represents the
contemporary focus on comfort, versatility
and environmental awareness and it
highlights the role of the home as epicenter
of a new habitat.
