When it came to shape, lighting fixtures were also elongated and delicate. Cecile Feilchenfeldt and Karla Huff’s latest designs, exhibited at the Swiss Pavilion, featured lamps with knitted coverings. At 5Vie, Dutch studio Rive Roshan presented its version of the floor lamp: a geometric and minimalist (but no less colorful) object reaching for the Moon. –Annabelle Dufraigne, AD France
Back to the ’60s
Baxter has unveiled its new West Coast Aesthetics collection. A tribute to 1960s Californian design, the pieces blend modernist elegance and material experimentation. Combining tables with worked bases, fine leather, chromed metal seating, and sculptural lamps, the new line is inspired by midcentury-modern style, reinterpreted for 2025 and beyond. Midcentury-modern was also very much in evidence at Minotti, in the designs of Hannes Peer and Giampiero Tagliaferri. At Pedrali, the ’60s roared again, with inspiration drawn from the Case Study Houses Program, an American research movement created to explore innovative, functional, and sustainable housing solutions. Not to mention the Charlotte Perriand showcase by Saint Laurent, which included 1962’s Rio de Janeiro bookcase in wood and rattan. –Marina Hemonet, AD France
…and a ’70s revival
Yes, you knew it. We knew it. But now, Salone del Mobile 2025 has confirmed it: Marset is reissuing a beautiful lamp from the 1970s; Edra is doing the same with its iconic models, featuring new fabrics; and Roche Bobois is reimagining the first version of its famous Mah Jong sofa, too.
