I'm just back from Milan Design Week, where I met with over 50 brands and saw countless dozens of new furniture and decorative launches. This is the week that the world's most luxe and directional designers gather to show and share new ideas, where interior design trends begin, take hold, and take over.
This year I spotted clear signs of a new color, a new shape and and evidence that we were right about the emergence of a new finish. But what's harder to capture was the general sense of positive energy, and how excited everyone was to be there. If that emotion can be harnessed, then this year's schemes are going to be about nothing but delighting the senses, giving us a frisson, and making homes a place to have fun.
