One Week Until Salone del Mobile 2025: A Guide to Key Talks, Roundtables, and Special Installations

The 63rd edition of the Salone del Mobile will take place in Milan from April 8 to 13, 2025. Dating back to 1961, Salone del Mobile is a trade fair that covers a wide range of interior design products. The theme of this edition focuses on exploring the deep connections between humanity and design, aiming to establish the event as a creative platform beyond its commercial functions. The fair also serves as a laboratory for experimentation and the exchange of ideas, where new prototypes for furniture and domestic spaces are presented in settings that bring different narratives about ways of living to life. In addition to the furniture exhibition, the event will feature installations, conferences, and workshops, all taking place over the five days at Milan's Rho Fiera fairgrounds.

Danish Architecture Center Opens Exhibition on Modern Furniture Design Pioneer Nanna Ditzel

From January 24 to May 11, 2025, the Danish Architecture Center (DAC) will host an exhibition dedicated to the work of designer Nanna Ditzel. Crowned "The Grand Dame of Danish Design," Ditzel remains a significant figure in the field, known for her iconic creations such as the Hanging Egg Chair, Hallingdal Fabric, and the Trinidad Chair. Born in 1923, she established herself as a pioneer in furniture design, experimenting with unconventional materials, including the then-untested foam rubber, polyester, and fiberglass. She also transformed traditional materials such as wicker, laminated wood, and silver into innovative furniture and jewelry pieces that became icons of modern design, many of which will be showcased in this retrospective exhibition.

A Chair's Anatomy: The Ergonomics of Anti-Gravity Office Seating

Sitting for extended periods is an everyday reality in many workspaces, which can lead to a dangerously sedentary working day. This makes office chair design a crucial element for both productivity and overall well-being. Ergonomic design takes into account the human body's needs, including posture, comfort, support, and health. A good ergonomic chair is adjustable, allowing for better control and customized settings that support the spine and promote a natural position for the body's joints. An even better ergonomic chair employs technology to accommodate all seating nuances—including occasional slouching, neck rest, and continuous hip movements, among others—, helping to maintain good body posture at all times.
