Three simple tricks to create a harmonious interior
This year, the Italian company "Mohd - Mollura Home Design" has dedicated an entire showroom to Ferm Living's new products and created a well-rounded interior, from which I take three things.
Small but mighty. That's how I would summarise this year's exhibition by Scandinavian furniture brand Ferm Living, which took place in the Brera showroom of Mohd - Mollura Home Design during Milan Design Week. It was a treat for my eyes and made me forget the hustle and bustle outside the door for a moment. This was mainly due to the following factors

1. harmonious shapes
The interior consisted of many home accessories and furniture with inviting, soft shapes. There were bestsellers such as the organically shaped "Pond" mirror, which is inspired by the free-flowing movement of water, as well as the decorative scented candle "Tuck", whose crumpled surface reminded me of a squeezed toothpaste tube.
At the same time, new products were shown that are also available in the Galaxus range. Among them: The new "Paste" vase series, which plays with rounded 2D and 3D silhouettes and is intended to be reminiscent of the copy-paste effect in image editing programmes.

Viewed from the front, the object hides its function. It consists of two identical, flat ceramic plates that have been attached to the cylindrical vase in such a way that they conceal the inner workings.
2. warm colours
In addition to the bulbous shapes, the colour palette was the reason why the room radiated calm. It consisted mainly of earthy tones such as brown or terracotta. Cool colours such as blue were completely omitted.

The colour concept was also supported by calming lighting. Part of this was the "Arum" and "Poem" lamps, both of which provide indirect light thanks to their design.
3. bringing the outdoors indoors
Where there are earthy tones, they almost couldn't be missing: Houseplants. They give the room the necessary colour, oxygen and the feeling of being close to nature

There are many unique ways to accommodate plants, no matter how small the space. This exhibition proved that to me, where natural shapes, an earth tone colour palette and lots of greenery have all come together to create a little oasis of calm.
Like a cheerleader, I love celebrating good design and bringing you closer to everything furniture- and interior design- related. I regularly curate simple yet sophisticated interior ideas, report on trends and interview creative minds about their work.
