The inspirational theme is Foliage. Whether it involves a living room or a dining area, nature creates material suggestions. Furthermore, it gives life to the products. Specifically, it achieves this through colors, like autumnal red, and materials such as wood, marble, and natural fibers. During the Meridiani Roadshow, we conducted a short interview with Ombretta Dal Zin, owner of the L’Ambiente Group. What does it mean to be a furniture retailer today? Today, we can no longer call ourselves simple furniture retailers. Instead, we offer our clients a comprehensive proposal. To begin with, we provide a customized design. Following that, we continue with the careful selection of materials. Ultimately, we conclude with a lighting design study. In this role, the furnishing consultant must act like a psychologist. Equally important, they must interpret the client’s needs. Thus, they must communicate effectively to build a bond of trust. Thanks to this connection, they can create a personalized living space. Beyond that, our stores provide a collaborative space where materials play a key role. How is the way we design (and experience) spaces changing in the post-pandemic era? The lockdown forced people to stay in their homes. Consequently, individuals began to experience their environments differently than in the past. Moreover, the desire for comfort sparked a need to rethink living spaces. For instance, the requirement arose to include an office or a gym within existing areas. Therefore, rooms have become multifunctional. In particular, minimalist furnishing styles offer solutions that enhance the home’s livability. Additionally, experiencing the home this way has led customers to deepen their environmental awareness. As a matter of fact, choosing sustainably produced furnishings is now a priority. In the same vein, the desire for an outdoor space reflects a deep need for mental well-being. Admittedly, the lockdown highlighted the importance of small things we once took for granted. Indeed, being confined to closed spaces created an urgent need for areas dedicated to personal wellness. However, for those who lack gardens, we can still create spaces designed for “quality living.” Take, for instance, the concept of water as a source of balance. In this regard, the Private Wellness concept by Gessi is ideal. By doing so, it creates private spaces where the focus remains on health through water. Finally, what are the 3 key words for design in an increasingly demanding world? In conclusion, they are Creativity, Functionality, and Rationality.
