Milan Design Week 2021: interior trends

The forum, which “floods” the whole of Milan with the giant furniture design exhibition Salone del Mobile and many other smaller events and art installations, is of large-scale importance for interior design professionals, as it highlights the main trends in the industry. “To feel in your skin again – truly irreplaceable!” – says arch. Iveta Popova after her return from the largest international design event – Milan Design Week.

“After a year and a half of lull in major events, visiting Milan Design Week from a professional point of view is more than inspiring. I can quite consciously say that attending this forum is very important for me and has always validated the creative directions of the studio’s development. We saw incredibly beautiful installations, innovative design and more importantly – we created new contacts and exchanged experience with international colleagues.”

Nature and its constant presence in the home

A trend that we have observed in recent years and is here to stay is the presence of nature and earth elements in the home. Fabrics and materials such as wood, marble, stone, precious metals such as nickel, bronze, rose-gold; linen, wool, cotton, strengthen their positions and are even more daring in their participation in the interior through unusual patterns, coarse knitting, rough and natural surfaces.

An accent with shapes and patterns imitating vegetation is also noticeable, as well as the presence of living plants incorporated into the design.

The color palette is entirely pastel with strong earth tones – brown, beige, ocher, tile, gray. And most brands are focusing on shades of green, and the trend is to make colorful and distinctive faucets and ceramics in the bathroom.

Finishes and textures

The surfaces are extremely diverse and combine each other – smooth, matte, ribbed, glossy, transparent, mirrored. The desired effect is the activation of the senses and provocation.

The reliefs and patterns on the glass windows are reminiscent of retro design – ribbing, even imitation of broken glass or a water surface.

Innovation, eco and sustainable design

More and more systematic work is being done in the direction of sustainable and eco-friendly design. Extremely demanded by consumers in the West themselves, this is the reason for brands to persistently develop new and interesting implementations of recycled materials – plastics, paper and others. An absolute trend is antibacterial coatings, as well as easy-to-clean and maintainable fabrics.

The solutions of lighting brands in this direction are admirable, but we will pay special attention to them in the next article. [:]

How to refresh the home through the choice of textiles?

[:bg]

Current interior trends in textiles, furniture and decorations can be your solution to refresh your home and at the same time bring lasting change.

The wealth of varieties of textiles can be both captivating and completely confusing to make a decision. Therefore, today we will pay attention to some trends that we find highly attractive and suitable for lovers of bold choices in the interior. Thus, we hope to give guidance on how to easily change the look of the home, even by reupholstering your favorite sofa or changing chairs in the dining room.

Pique

We will skip the too lush jacquard, but not the piqué, which impresses with its variety of shapes – combs, squares or even rhombic elements. What we like most about it is that there are no smooth lines in the texture of the tip. To some extent, the popularity of piqué textiles comes precisely because of the original texture – on the one hand, furniture and other accessories made of this material look solid and simple, and on the other, attractive and modern.

Smallpox

Very durable and preferred by us are textiles with a fine pattern and relief, combining two or three colors of threads. They allow you to make vast combinations with monochromatic accents in the home and are a gathering point of several shades. Most often these are cotton fabrics, but you can find variations with linen or wool that look wonderful. The interesting to the touch pattern creates an additional experience through the feel of the fabric and is appropriately complemented by larger or finer textures.

The choice of upholstery of a sofa or armchair, for example, makes it possible to add decorative pillows of different colors and fabrics or a blanket with a larger knit, combining one or two colors of the pattern of textiles. It is important not to forget about the carpet as a factor in the overall décor, which can carry similar elements 😉

The combinations of two fabrics on furniture are extremely relevant. There is a wide choice in the design of chairs, for example, which combine – leather and wool, velvet and cotton or cotton and leather. When developing conceptual interior solutions, the choice of this type of furniture helps to pleasantly complement the overall idea and selection of materials in the home.

Here are some favorite examples of chair variations, both in the model itself and in the upholstery. In addition to the combination of contrasting fabrics to the touch, you can also experiment in different color combinations. These three wonderful specimens can be seen in our office and showroom Design Lab.

An elegant and stylish pattern is herringbone. It can fit very well both in the office space of the home and in the living room according to the choice of a combination of colors. What attracts us the most to these fabrics with several thread colors is the illusion of a 3D effect that some of them create. In this way, you will definitely grab attention on the furniture, even if you choose a simpler and cleaner home design.

For more inspiration – follow our youtube channel, where we share interesting interior solutions. Here are a few words from arch. Iveta Popova on the choice of textiles and the combination of chair models:

RD-2: a museum-sculpted interior in which comfort is on a pedestal

Fine aesthetics to the detail, combined with functional and stylish solutions – this is the character of the RD-2. Inspiring textures and precisely smooth surfaces are spread over a total area of 120 sq.m. The apartment consists of a bedroom with a bathroom, a study, a corridor and a unified living space that combines a kitchen, dining room and living room.

The unity of the living room with the vestibule is easily achieved by choosing a large-scale tile for the flooring. Granite tiles with a pattern resembling a mosaic are an expression of bold taste and a reference to museum interiors. The owner of the apartment “collects” memories that he wanted to arrange in the new home. Thus, souvenirs and favorite items found their place in beautiful glass showcases with a mirrored surface when they are dark.

ATGdesign-RD2-residencial-interiordesign-photo-8

Thus, the whole concept of the interior develops around the theme of “Travel and Memories”, and the design is visually on the edge between public and residential. You will notice that the accent in the hallway and living room are large mirrors, elegant surfaces and showcases that optically expand the space and resemble a gallery. However, comfort is not neglected, but on the contrary – emphasized by the strong presence of natural materials such as wood, marble, stone, leather, wool, silk. In this way, the connection with nature comes to the fore and contributes to the creation of comfort and warmth necessary for the perfect home.

The walls are covered with cladding, creating an eye-pleasing play between the reliefs of the different materials. White is not boring latex, but wallpaper with natural threads, complementing the feeling of coziness. The marble has a place of honor in the living room and bedroom, reminiscent of a work of art – again a contextual connection with the museum.

The decoration is mostly in gold and pink-gold metal surfaces to bring a noble touch and warmth.

The kitchen is minimalistically designed in black and white colors. There is a small coffee area next to the window, so that in the morning the owner can enjoy the wonderful view of Vitosha Mountain. The small drawers and the vertical winery stand out as a cool design element of the built-in furniture. A recurring detail are the smoky showcases, which maintain the subtle aesthetics throughout the apartment.

ATGdesign-RD2-residencial-interiordesign-photo-11

The cabinet speaks of a soft and noble character. Leading is the white color, combined with subtle gray and brown shades. Natural wood parquet matches the cladding and gives a warm look to the room, while the white ceiling and light curtains open up the room even more.

The lighting can be adjusted by removing and placing individual panels thanks to their magnetic grip. This feature allows residents to easily transform a home office into a children’s room in the future, for example. Again, we see that the library has been created with the ability to arrange favorite elements of residents to create a pleasant working atmosphere.

The predominant materials in the bedroom are wood, leather and textiles. Wooden parquet is a choice for flooring and in the bedroom, which goes perfectly with the bed with leather and textile trim. The specially designed bedside table has a drawer for watches and jewelry, which stands out with a leather finish.

ATGdesign-RD2-residencial-interiordesign-photo-31

The shelf under the TV is slightly reminiscent of the one in the kitchen and suggests the space reserved for green plants that always bring freshness.

The design of the two bathrooms stands out with an interesting playfulness in the geometry and imperfection of the tiles. Bathroom lighting #1 is designed with perpendicular and parallel LED strips that emphasize straight shapes and are a counterpoint to the oval of the sink and mirror.

Photos: Mihaela Draganova

Bathroom #2 is noticeable a beautiful relief of the tiles – each looks unique and carries the imperfection of nature. Again, geometric shapes prevail on one of the walls, creating the illusion of depth with their black color.

You can walk around the finished apartment together with the owner Radi Dobrevski, who in the third edition of the My Perfect Home by ATG design video series shares about his favorite details of the new home. More details and photos can be found in our portfolio.

“Ethereal Nature” – 3D project for a luxury bathroom

[:bg]

A CREATIVE CONCEPT BASED ON FREEDOM OF SPIRIT AND CONNECTION WITH NATURE

The famous Ideal Standard Bathroom of the Year competition with each subsequent edition distinguishes the high level of interior design in Bulgaria and we are openly provoked with our participation to show not only a beautiful design, but also an exciting conceptual project.

Inspired by the growing demand for man to be close to nature in his daily life, we developed an interior for a luxury bathroom “Ethereal Nature”. The idea is for the exterior to enter the interior of a personal and intimate space – that of the bathroom. We achieve this interconnection through the panoramic showcase and the living tree next to the bathtub. The soft, dense curtain creates a feeling of coziness and tenderness, while serving as a décor of the “stage” around the bathtub, the unequivocal accent of which is lamps in the shape of stylized birds (Brokis- Night Birds).

In addition to paneling, the design concept is supported both visually and meaningfully by slabs with a natural marble vision from Fiandre’s Eco-Active series. These plates, with their antibacterial and photoactive coating that purifies the air from toxic molecules, are an innovative solution and solidly complement the intention to build an environment closer to natural purity and airiness.

The layout also speaks of freedom and ease of movement of the occupant, providing enough “floating” space. The shower cabin in the center with all-glass walls, as well as the free-standing bathtub next to the showcase, are a provocation and a reflection of the brave and carefree spirit.

The elegant ceramics and faucets of the Ideal Standard fit in perfect harmony with the design. This is the point of balance between etherity – the personification of freedom on the one hand, and strength – associated with roots, strength and stability, on the other.

Blue as Harmony

[:bg]

Favorite shades of blue conquer the world with the trend “Color of the Year” on a global and local level in the interior.

In the interior, we always adhere to clean lines and minimalist style, in which the tenderness of white and the veins of marble are leading. We admit openly that for ATG design, blue has always been a favorite choice for an accent color and in this line of thought, “Blue Harmony” – the local trend chosen as the color of the year by “Orgachim”, is a shade in which we recognize ourselves as distinctive for our work. It fits very well with the palette of white and gray tones and highlights the natural materials, such as wood and stone, that we prefer to work with.

What moods does blue bring us?

For example, for a bedroom project, we choose “Blue Harmony” to be in the lead role on the wall opposite the window. Thus, by reflecting daylight, the whole room is immersed in a blue hue and during the day it gives a sense of calm and balance.

At the same time, our demand is to express character and confidence in the bold decision for a predominant and saturated color in the room. We believe that with the presence of different textiles in the room, a pleasant variety of surfaces is achieved, which contrast with the smooth furniture, mirrors and stone. This speaks not only of confident style, but also confirms the exquisite taste of the inhabitant.

Roof terrace – a gift in the urban jungle

We choose to dream on a smog-enveloped day. Even though the air is so cold and turns tiny droplets into frost, we’re mentally drawn to a season where we’re more in love with the city. The warm months naturally provoke us to look for more open spaces, and the pleasure of having a roof terrace, we believe, is a privilege of God’s chosen ones in the urban jungle. Without a hint of envy, such a space is truly a gift. That is why we dedicate the following lines to a few ideas on how best to use it.

And what could be better than planning a renovation for spring, when you will already be looking forward to enjoying the time spent there?

In a house or apartment, the roof terrace offers many amazing options for decoration and furnishing. Natural materials such as wood and stone will remain an inevitable trend, which can contribute to coziness and will also bring you closer to the feeling of a villa in nature. Greenery is also a must in this line of thought – the abundance of plants will create a welcoming atmosphere and is an opportunity to create a natural barrier or décor that will hide less inhospitable views, for example.

source: architecturaldigest.com

As architects putting functionality first, our leading question would be – how will the space be used? For relaxation and solitude or for dinners with friends and night cinema?

In the first case, we would advise you to bet on upholstered furniture with the possibility of complete relaxation and enjoying the view. According to the conditions, you can bet on a hanging swing or hammock instead of an armchair. This will give a more buhemian and casual look to the place.

If your goal is to get together with friends for or without an occasion, then it is good to keep in mind the construction of a small kitchen, barbecue or bar that will serve your good time. At a minimum, there would also be a dinner table for six people. If you want to avoid the pretentious style again – benches with a minimalist design can be a very good choice. We also highly recommend built-in furniture, which can significantly optimize space and also bring a dose of minimalism.

And despite its goals, there are a few must-have elements that we recommend considering when planning your future roof terrace.

One of them is certainly the fireplace!

The advantage of bio fireplaces in modern design is that they can be implemented in unusual places, thus optimizing the space and allowing everyone to be around the fire. For example, you can implement it in the center of a solid stone table. This will bring not only atmosphere to the evening gatherings, warmth in the cooler months and will not limit you from enjoying the spectacular view in the fall.

Creating a shed would also be a nice bonus, especially if you also have day parties on the weekend or want to have the opportunity to take a break from sunbathing in the shade. On the one hand, you can bet on a solid shed to cover part of the furniture – this is a convenience in the rainy/snowy months. On the other hand, it is nice to form a patterned shade with beams, on which you can place an airy fabric or glass. It is important, of course, to take it into account in your context and especially to keep in mind the solstice in the different seasons, so that its function is optimal.

We hope we have brightened up the cold day with a little warmer thoughts and inspiration for a good planning of the transformation of your roof corner. Follow our Instagram profile for more inspiration @atg_design. [:]

Minimalism and cubic shapes: a modern interpretation of a Mediterranean villa

You remember that since May we have been on the Mediterranean wave and we like to immerse ourselves in the spirit of the coastal villas. Vacation August logically brings us back to the topic, but this time we will look at its contemporary interpretation and how Mediterranean architecture is influenced by modernism.

If in our May blog post we had focused on the distinctive and lavish elements typical of this architectural style, as well as on the open spaces – now we want to pay attention to their absolute contrast, which is an integral part of the currents that influenced the Mediterranean in the architectural aspect of modern times.

Straight corners and simple shapes

Project by Savva & Nearchou studio, located in Nicosia, Greece; Source: bigsee.eu

Perhaps a little surprising that an element borrowed from modernism and strongly present in the style of south coast houses is the simplified general view. At the beginning of the 20th century, leading modernists in architecture, such as Le Corbusier, for example, strongly adhered to simpler forms and minimizing decoration. This reinforces the white facades with thick walls, but with a much simpler design and the exclusion of complex fragments and decorations.

Small abstract windows and column lifting

As a total contrast to the large windows connecting the premises with the external environment, small windows with non-standard shapes are very popular here. On the one hand, they provide this clean vision of the façade, but on the other hand, they aim to allow less sun into the home and keep it as a cool and “shady” place. The abstract design gives the feeling of a contemporary reading.

Source: bostoncondoloft.com

The typical column lifting, again recognized as Le Corbusier’s handwriting, is recognized as appropriate in the construction of Mediterranean villas, in part because of the natural features of the places where they are usually created. This contributes to the easy terrace of the house, which is so characteristic of this region.

But in the most up-to-date interpretations of Mediterranean construction, you will notice the presence of the best of both “models”. The solution to limit the scorching sun and yet the separation of larger panoramic windows is most often blinds made of dense and natural material such as wood. The lifting of columns is also a preferred element in the design, which, in addition to pleasantly corresponding with right angles and cubic shapes, allows to form this fusion of inside and out.

Typical of southern latitudes is the basin and it is often an integral part of the landscape. We looked at several types of pools in our last article in our edna.bg column, which are undoubtedly a suitable addition to the overall Mediterranean villa landscape. Stay tuned for our next topic, which will give guidance in choosing features to implement in your future pool. [:]

What is the color of 2018?

[:bg]

Specialists from the Pantone Color and Color Standards Forecasting Consulting Institute have chosen a bold and provocative shade of ultraviolet.

The Panetone Institute has released its report on the trendy colors that will play major roles in this year’s projects of the exciting design world. This decision was reached after long research by specialists, consultations with designers and manufacturers. The color that will be the center of attention, according to them, is ultraviolet, as reported on the organization’s website.

The color is presented as “a bold, provocative violet shade 18-3838 Ultra Violet, combining originality, ingenuity and profound thinking and striving for the future.”

The complex shade of violet makes us think about the boundless secrets of space and the future of humanity. The vast night sky symbolizes endless possibilities and inspires the search for new ones.

Violet is a symbol of unconventionality and creativity. Many of the contemporary artists in the field of music and fine arts have implemented shades of color in their work as an expression of individuality and self-expression, notes Panetone.

The American company, which is engaged in experiments in working on colors, influences many different industries with its activities – fashion, printing, interior design, advertising, cinema, etc. The organization has been designating the color of the year since 2000, with the green-yellow shade Greenery – “the color of hope” becoming the color of last year’s 2017.
