Home decor trends 2017: material charm

In 2017, interior design returns to vintage. Thanks to the use of natural materials, the 1980’s come back to life and luxurious atmospheres fill refined settings beyond time. Nothing attracts the attention like the lightness of marble and the changing shades of metal, the softness of leather, the warmth of a wooden surface. Tactile sensations triumph in the creation of refined and welcoming spaces. 

Marble is a classic material, which goes back to fashion as an elegant and luxurious decorative element. The trend of the year privileges the lucid version, in light color with particular veining. Strong and compact, marble combines perfectly with other materials, and adds a sophisticated touch to the decor of living rooms. 

Owen is a beautiful dining table by Meridiani with a marble, lacquered or wooden finish for the top. The wooden structure gives the item an impressive aspect and makes it look light despite its weight of almost 300 kg. 

The keyword is solidity! Jane table, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, presents an irregular marble Emperador top. This solemn material gives to the table a solid structure, woven with steel and wood finishes.

The Phoenix coffee tables by Baxter, in their rustic essentiality, are the perfect furnishing for a modern and convivial outdoor. 

Henge presentes the Saetta table that shows a rectangular top, made of Silver Brown wave soft, and legs with finishes in bronze sand casting.

A fascinating contrast of black and white marble characterizes the plane of the Cookies coffee tables, by Gallotti e Radice, sustained by a polished brass and cast aluminum structure. 

Sturdy structures, shining finishes and essential lines: metallic lines ruled at Salone del Mobile 2017. Metal is a natural and original material, able to create fascinating  vintage atmospheres or a modern style. Brass, copper, bronze and aluminium are all the rage, above all when they are used to making structures or surfaces. 

It is easy to get lost in the curves of Setareh lamp, designed by Francesco Librizzi for FontanaArte. It seems to be a contemporary sculpture in which a metal gold structure supports a sphere in blown-glass. 

Precious, evocative and bright: Flux by Lasvit, made in collaboration with Ed Ng and Terence Ngan, reproduces  the simple shape of undertow. Golden upholstery increases light and decorate the lamp. 

If you want to give a touch of zen to your spaces, choose the Yanzi collection, signed by Neri&Hu for Artemide. Balanced structures with points of light in blown glass, transformed  into branches and stylised  swallows in brashed brass.

The majestic Lais, produced by Baxter, enriches the space. Its aged bronze surface contrasts with the modern geometries in a perfect equilibrium.

A harmony of variegated shades characterizes the suspension lamp Eris, by Gallotti e Radice. Overlapped scales remind to a shimmering armor emanating from its core waves of light, which escape from the slits. 

Warmth returns in the copper shades of the Tele light lamp by Henge, a particular structure made up by tubular elements of different sizes.

Also signed by Henge, the Bistrot S bookshelf is characterized by warm colors and a massive structure, in solid wood and burnished brass. A solidity that conveys comfort and safety.

Lennox sofa by Lema, signed by Gordon Guillaumier, is pretty glamorous and a little bit retro. Backrest and armrests embrace the metallic bronze structure. It is a tribute to Annie Lennox, singer of the Eurythmics.

Era tables by Living Divani, designed by David Lopez Quincoces, are characterized by a multimaterial combination. The structure of metal sheet is combined with top in HPL, wood or in two lacquered versions. You can find brass both in the elegant studs of the top and in the two-tone legs.

Ruben by Meridiani is a sober and modern cabinet where marble is combined with brass to create original suspended containers and swing or shutter doors.

Wood, the natural material for excellence, enriches the furnishings with fine finishes. The visible veining results extremely impacting to the touch, donating incredible sensorial perceptions. Wood, combined with colored pieces of furniture, can generate warm and comfortable atmospheres. 

If you are looking for cozy atmospheres, you like the new gentle oak shelf of the Air table, by Lago. It shows an experienced look which conveys an idea of intimate comfort. Two legs in transparent glass support it, conferring it a slight appearance. 

Teorema, designed by Ron Gilad for Molteni & C, is distinguished by a faceted structure, made of  a single piece coated in walnut.

Elegance, comfort and high quality result perfectly combined in the Baron small armchair, by Giorgetti, with its solid walnut backrest. The seat and the back are in polyurethane, covered in leather or fabric.

Also leather acquires new charm in the soft coverings of sofas and armchairs, whose decorations strongly reminds to the ‘80s. As Mathieu desk, designed by Emmanuel Gallina for Poliform, in which the straight lines of the structure elegantly harmonize with the curves of the shelf. Leather, wood and metal coexist and reciprocally evaluate.
