Three or four years ago, conditionally speaking, the palace style changed, relatively speaking, new ar – deco. A couple of years ago, he was also reborn as something new, which is difficult to define. It's easier to list: less gold (or let it be not so bright), quieter colors, less gloss (glamor is already a well-forgotten word), less, less, less ... Passing through the pavilions designated as classic, you often caught I thought that I didn’t get there: things looked so modern. But this roll overcame. Many factories came to a reasonable compromise, including in their main collections things in the spirit of the new classics or launching separate lines for it.

So, for example, entered ZANABONI. The Contemporary line, which appeared a few years ago, is already well-known and in demand along with classical collections and piece objects of the museum level (a special pride of the brand). This year, by the way, they became one more. But Massimo Zanaboni asked for the time being to keep the novelty a secret. We can only say that this is a cabinet decorated with a porcelain medallion. In the model range TURRI advanced things are becoming more and more. The main novelties of this year, for example, are inspired by Hollywood cinema and designed in an expensive and strict “Manhattan” style. COLOMBOSTILE is also developing a new direction. This time, among other things, the brand has a supercabinet: it looks presidential and is equipped with a special mechanism with a secret pull-out section.

To open it, you need to know where and how to press (the electronic key is attached). The company is also developing a bespoke fashion option: parts, custom-made finishes, designed according to customer instructions. Two years ago, the RIVA MOBILI D’ARTE factory launched the RIVATELIER line, the bright debut collections of which were made by the visionary and wizard Carlo Rampazzi. At SAVIO FIRMINO, along with snow-white bedrooms, living room furniture appeared in an unusual coral range. Although our favorite is still a crib in the form of an engine, which was invented as a gift to the newborn grandson of Guido Savio, the patriarch and the owner of the brand.

ARCA и SIGNORINI&COCO продолжают до­бавлять к своим основным коллекциям из рез­ного дерева лакированные гарнитуры в духе ар–деко. Отдельного внимания заслуживает новая коллекция VITTORIO GRIFONI—Bassorilievi, спроектированная архитекто­ром Лукой Скаккетти. Как бы современно ни выглядела эта мебель, она сохранила классические формы и даже элементы декора (на­пример, в виде резных капителей) и сделана с применением традиционных техник, которыми тосканские ремесленники пользуются уже не одну сотню лет.
