In the crowded corridors of Maison&Objet 2024 or in the streets of the Déco-off of Paris you can hear the words of Vincent Van Gogh: «I see everywhere in nature, for example in trees, the capacity for expression».
That of nature is undoubtedly the central theme of this year, as if every creative person was trying in his own way to import the natural context into our habitats. Shapes, decorations and materials that make us reconnect with nature, seeking the point of balance with an increasingly virtual and technological world.
Armchairs, lamps, carpets, wallpapers and tables: at Maison&Objet everything speaks of nature
Seats with irregular shapes, which seem sculpted by the atmospheric elements and contaminated by the soil, like the collection Apacheta Of Loro Pianadesigned by Cristian Mohadedwhich takes its name from irregular stones that mark the path on Andes.
Shapes that remember the waves of the sealike the creations of Aurélie Hoegymade in rattana completely ecological natural fibre, guaranteed without any chemical treatment during processing and harvested in the Indonesian jungle respecting a natural growth cycle.
Fruits of nature and blooms invade the forms, distorting the objects and transforming lamps and vases into agglomerations of flowers and leaves, changing every habitat into a garden. The tables Antredesigned by Romy Lesniowski For Les Marbrerie de la Seine they remember exiles mushrooms.
The vase collection Flora Of Giorgettidesigned by Roberto Cambitransforms into ceramic flowers colorful freshly picked in our gardens.
Wandering (or flannelas the Parisians say to indicate those who wander aimlessly) in Rue de Saints-Pères and entering Atelier 55you are immediately transported to distant and exotic countries, surrounded by leaves and palms which are transformed into beautiful ones retro lamps.
A caravanserai of inspiration pop surprises us in the gallery of Rebecca Drury, Miss PrintWhere tigers, lions and octopuses they were meticulously hand-drawn before being reproduced on the wall coverings.
Beautiful fabrics Of Casamancetransformed into cactus and those of Misiaas Les sept hillsinspired by the seven hills of Rome.
The tiger, however, becomes the protagonist of the new velvets jacquard Of Dedar, Leontiger, A tiger in the orangery And This is the Tiger speaking.
Wallpapers and wall colors designed to experience the illusion of immersing yourself in nature, despite finding yourself confined inside. Like the collection Capricorn Of Little Greeneinspired by a nineteenth-century decoration, which invites nature into the home, creating an almost mythological connection.
Frank Lloyd Wright he wrote: “Man's houses should not resemble boxes shining in the sun… any building intended for man's use should be a tract of the primordial land, supportive, complementary to his natural environment.”
The new collection of fabrics Of C&C Milan, Earthcombines earthly, natural tones with a return to ancient and forgotten fibers, such as hemp and the jute. Browns, beiges, milky coffees and warm whites overlap to create atmospheres suspended in time, in deep connection with nature, evoking memories of quiet moments, gestures and old rituals.
FromArt nouveau to the Bauhausuntil the biomimetic design, nature has always been an inexhaustible source of creativity. The design that mimics nature has deep roots in history, and will push us more and more towards a new beauty and a more sustainable future.
