Minimal and simple, essentiality of form, this was 90s style. Vivid color gave way to neutrality across furniture, lighting and accessories, an overall more subtle approach to interior design. The protagonists of the period were pieces such as the Charles sofa by B&B Italia, the Piroscafo bookcase by Molteni & C., the S Chair by Cappellini, the Mayday lamps by Flos, Lucellino by Ingo Maurer and the Anna G. corkscrew by Alessi, all iconic pieces reflecting the unpretentiousness of the time.
