The president W.W.T.S. Silverio Marian: "В этом году актуальна спокойная классика. Снова возвращается инкрустированная мебель. Например, фабрика EBÉNISTERIE D’ART выставила несколько предметов с использованием наборной мозаики из дерева - маркетри. У них также была интересная мебель для детских, украшенная аппликацией с изображением животных. Третья тенденция года - по-прежнему гламур. Так, фабрика M&R выпустила коллекцию с вышитыми вручную рисунками. Линию haute couture развивает и бренд COSTANTINI PIETRO".

Julia Dyachenko (Alter Ego): "This year, apparently due to the crisis, there were fewer visitors. Trends established two years ago by leading factories were picked up by all other manufacturers of classic furniture. In the classics, a lot of furniture in the style ar-deko. Collections have become more collected and more architectural. It is interesting how design and fashion interact: many fashion houses put out home-lines, furniture designers began to use fashion techniques. However, in general, I would like to see more fresh ideas. "

Designer Julia Kovalevskaya (salon "Tango"): "The Milan exhibition is a kind of fashion week in the field of design. Spring this year is no exception. Manufacturers of classic furniture amaze with their boldness of decisions and desire to break out of standards. The uniqueness of images is just what architects and designers need. Technological innovations are skillfully combined with hand-made by cabinet makers. This year the classic Provence is relevant - cozy, light and quite realistic, creating an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. "

Designer Maurizio Frezza: "For Italian furniture makers making classic furniture, the Russian market is very important. Russian customers want only the best, and this gives factories an incentive for development. This year's iSaloni has shown that more and more brands are experimenting, creating something new and unusual. In general classic ceases to be eclectic. Personally, I really liked the luxury things TURRI and creative furniture PAOLO LUCCHETTA".

Oleg Tychin (design studio "Gielty"): "I really liked the exhibition. The composition of participants was very different from previous years. There were completely new and very interesting factories. It seems that classic brands are now working on the birth of some new classics, fundamentally different from everything that happened before. I especially liked the factory’s stand PROVASIwhere the children were first introduced. "

Elena Shlenkina (Molteni&C, Besana, Arca, Meroni Francesco): “It would seem that with respect to classical furniture, everything has long been said. But judging by this year’s iSaloni, the conversation continues. Moreover, year after year it becomes more interesting. The very concept of "classic" has expanded, and people began to classify it. ar-deko and art nouveau. The good news is that "design for design," when furniture is understood solely as an art object, is now combined with functionality and comfort. "

Palladio Interiors: “For me, the Milan exhibition is always another reason to meet with old partners who have already become friends. At iSaloni, you can understand what is happening in the furniture industry. This year’s exhibition was pleasantly surprised. I would like to note that in classical furniture many brands turned to ar-deko and art nouveau. Especially impressed by the collection of factories TURRI, MASCHERONI, CARPANELLI, ARMANDO RHO, and new items BAGA - just a godsend for designers and architects. "
