Elena Shlenkina, Head of the Representative Office of Italian Factories in Russia: “The tendencies outlined in the past years were strengthened: excessive decoration and even pretentiousness disappeared, but classical factories began to use modern fittings (we are already accustomed to smoothly closing and opening drawers when one click is enough). Factories began to play with color. In the classic, the color range seems to be strictly defined, but even this is not all said! I am glad that this year there were a lot of visitors in the classical pavilions of iSaloni ”.

Tatyana Mironova, architect: “The exposition looked solid and fresh POZZOLI. On a large, spacious stand, each item was presented as an art object. Having been on exotic islands, Enrique To try (factory PROVASI) came up with a bright purple-green bedroom. He wanted to show how to solve the whole room in one key. ”

Constantine Medvedkin, Francesco Molon: “The overall degree of luxury has gone up. And this is the luxury of more and more sophisticated details, the luxury of complex finishes, expensive materials and unusual technologies, often new to factories that make classic furniture. It is gratifying that many experiments with style. Current trend - ar-deko. Everyone has their own reading of this style, their own version. But commercial success is still above all the good old classics. And, apparently, it will be more than one year. ”

Harvey Dondero, Theodore Alexander: «Долгое время в классandке былand популярны пышная отделка, обandлandе бронзовых деталей and металла в целом. В этом году стало ясно, что это постепенно сходandт на нет. Мы выставкой довольны, в ней участвует все больше andностранных, не andтальянскandх компанandй».

Vladimir Kutepov, Terra Darus Group: “If earlier the elements of eco-style prevailed only in modern pavilions, now it has manifested itself in the classics. Most liked brands MEDEA and ANNIBALE COLOMBO. New collection MEDEA, continuing the direction of Liberty, due to the use of bleached oak turned out to be very fresh and elegant. The dark cherry finish that most classic manufacturers use is a thing of the past, giving way to modern textures and colors. U Furniture ANNIBALE COLOMBO - an interesting game of form and decoration: the form can be purely classical, and the tree - one of those that are used in modern furniture, and vice versa.

Igor Dotsenko, architect: “It is difficult to talk about trends in the classics: everything is changing very slowly, decades have to pass, these are not cars, not fashion. Most of all I liked the new factory PROVASI - эффектная сandне-зеленая кровать. Она подойдет andнтерьерам загадочным. Проandзвел впечатленandе and пафосный стенд JUMBO COLLECTION».

Andrea Marian, W.W.T.S.: “Classic furniture is becoming more elegant and sophisticated, less gold and more style. Factory VITTORIO GRIFONI в блandжайшее время представandт новую коллекцandю, отражающую этand тенденцandand. Особенно понравandлся яркandй and запомandнающandйся стенд компанandand BROTHERS RADICE. The capabilities of the factory were demonstrated - a wide range of colors and finishes, elegant patterns on the facades, applied by hand ”.

Mikhail Kosaretsky, "Tango": “The Milan exhibition is an indicator of impeccable taste. Therefore, every year the whole furniture world is striving here. I was impressed with the VAZZARI factory. These are the best pieces of furniture made in Baroque, Rococo, Empire and ar-deko. Their modern interpretations of classical styles, introducing an atmosphere of light bourgeoisness to the interior, are also of constant interest. ”

Angelo Orsi, Colombostile: “This year, Salone del Mobile has an anniversary. Many brands have prepared “gifts”. We, in particular, showed a new collection by design by Samuel Mazza. It is dedicated to the Parisian style and couturier who embodied it in his works - Yves Saint Laurent and Coco Chanel. ”

Andrea Turri, Turri: “ISaloni is 50 years old this year. TURRI - one of those companies that all these years participated in the exhibition. So for us it is also a kind of holiday. We are very pleased with this area, there were a lot of visitors. New items were able to show both professionals and the general public. "

Roberto Provazzi, To try: “The Russian client has become more discriminating and informed, this is clearly seen in Milan. This year, the Russians who visited the exhibition were 30 percent more than in the past. Interest in iSaloni is growing, and this encourages our company to look for new creative solutions. Unfortunately, in the world of interior design often have to deal with obsessive dies. "

Anna Koltunova, Head of Representation To try: “The desire to lighten the space through the use of light-colored textiles is being read. Nevertheless, several areas of our stand were made in rich red-burgundy and blue-green shades. This is a subtle game on the nuances of colors and textures, aimed at showing the ability of the factory to give its interior to any interior. ”
