At Salone del Mobile 2025, inside a postmodern domus conceived by architect Lucia Valzelli, Italian design house Ghidini1961 debuted something surreal: Candy. A shimmering, multicolor, multidimensional metal finish that looks like the material embodiment of a mood ring — or what space-age futurists in the 1960s might have imagined furniture would look like in the future. Bright oranges, blues, purples, and greens shimmer in constant flux — somewhere between chrome and illusion.
At first glance, Candy could be mistaken for polished brass. But iridescence is mutable — shifting with the light, the angle, the room. This interior design trend is a living surface: one-of-a-kind, not just by SKU but by moment.
