A loud and colorful interior design trend that transpired at the 2010 Milan Furniture Fair was none other than ethnic and statement prints. More so in a form of upholstered designer sofas then anything else prints in colorful, whimsy palettes were seen from a mile away (literally). Exotic, tribal and intriguing, prints were thriving through the masterful hands of major designers like Patricia Urquiola, Phillip Bestenheider and Donatella Versace. What’s more, with this wild trend, no decorating rules apply, everything is a go; print on print, print and solid, bold and bolder…interior elements with print motifs are attention seeking devises designed to charm, cheer and change their surroundings.

Representing a truly unique way to decorate the living space, modular seating solutions have become synonymous with comfort, versatility and casual lifestyle. Today’s rapidly changing environments call for relaxed, unceremonious interior elements that can swiftly fit spatial and functional needs while simultaneously offering unquestionable style and ambience. With the help of distinguished Italian furniture designers and leading European furniture manufacturers, the choice between a modern sofa or a designer sectional is no longer a permanent decision but one that can be achieved by swapping and moving around the elements of a particular configuration. The choice is clear, whether trying to add longevity to a highly priced seating configuration or versatility and ability to be placed in the living room, family room or basements than modular seating is the way to go, besides the fact that in lieu of the growing demand of this niche seating category, the array of modern designs and styles is vastly impressive.

Dharma Lounge by Palette Industries, aptly named after the Hindu and Buddhist principle that orders the universe, features a powerful (five-word) adage to a balanced living – “Stand, Forget, Breathe, Acknowledge, and Observe” – that not only has significant philosophic implications but a commanding spatial disposition in lieu of its attention-grabbing façade and thought-provoking message.

Another great idea from one of Europe’s pioneering manufacturers of modern furniture. Based in Switzerland, Willisau has made its name known to the world when they introduced the iTable – furniture element that capitalizes on the world’s infatuation with Apple’s i-technology. Yet with Roll On – a hybrid, multi-purpose piece of functional art or artistic designer furniture – Willisau opted to tackle the space conscious trend that has been gaining momentum in major metropolitan areas and inspiring designers around the world to be resourceful with contemporary furniture that may be placed in small dwellings.
Roll-On is simple yet it is awe inspiring once its full capacities are revealed. With a simple (hocus-pocus) movement, what is initially perceived as a wall art, turns into a clever seating solution that can be either straddled or sat on. Imagine that? Who would not want to show their guests a few tricks?
