While in 2008 and 2009 walnut finish was in its infancy mode and no one really knew whether it will survive its first year among interior giants, the 2010 International Furniture Fair in Milan proved that walnut has the interior stamina to be considered more than just finish du jour and potentially reach the same powerful popularity that wenge finish relished over the past years. Needless to mention, walnut was consistently used throughout the show with applications that stretched into all living spaces.
Some of the most eye catching modern design that involved the neutral, serene tonality of walnut included an Emmemobili dining table who’s geometrically inspired base amalgamated walnut, white and wenge into a multidimensional grid-like pedestal that is complimented by a clear glass top for further admiration of the sculptural designer dining table.
The Italian furniture giant Porada integrated walnut into essential most of the components of their 2010 collection, a few examples include the Kiko coffee table that is made of pressure-bent walnut planks, Suturnia dining chair is in effect all walnut and so are the Cell round bookshelves.
Draenert, a German innovative designer furniture manufacturer introduced Figura side table collection in three different sizes and shapes made of oiled American walnut with inserted glass plate.
