2Modern

Seen. Sat. Style reported.

From handcrafted ceramics and couture-worthy textiles to floral sofas, dreamy pendants, and a listening bar worth lingering in, NYCxDesign delivered a masterclass in personality. More craft, more color, more character at every turn.

New name to know now: Ethimo.

Like an endless aperitivo overlooking the Med, Ethimo brings Italian ease to outdoor living with artisan details, woven textures, and resort-worthy relaxation. Bougainvillea optional, but lingering longer is highly encouraged. 🌺

Salone sets the tone–and this year, design delivers. From sculptural lighting to cocooned seating and richly storied surfaces, the shift is clear: interiors are becoming more expressive, more tactile, and more personal. Craft takes center stage. Comfort deepens. Ornament returns, reimagined. It’s not just how we design, but how we live.

**Kartell: Best in show, pairing AI impressionist artwork with contemporary design–seamlessly bridging modern and new traditional. That Lillybet Chair… consider it claimed.
**Flos x Kvadrat: Lighting, elevated. Flos unveils MAAP by Erwan Bouroullec–an ethereal, tactile installation layered with sound.
**Illulian: Rugs as art, composed of silk and Himalayan wool–pieces you might just design your life around.
**GAN Rugs + Nanimarquina: New designer collections that blur the line between textile and art.
**Lorenza Bozzoli: The queen of Milano debuts her most refined and richly detailed modular seating yet in Soft Architecture. Tutto è fantastico!
**Poltrona Frau x Shepard Fairey: The Archibald Delicate Balance Armchair is where haute craft, leather mastery, and hopeful narrative converge.
