Salone del Mobile isn’t just a trade fair; it’s a celebration of lifestyle, creativity, and the evolving language of design. From the cobblestone streets and Aperol-fuelled evenings to the breathtaking installations and whispered conversations in gallery courtyards, there’s something undeniably magical about Milan in design week.
At Innerspace, we see Salone as more than a chance to preview what’s new—it’s about connection. Connecting with the spaces we work with, the materials we touch, and the makers who breathe life into each piece. This year, our journey through the halls of Rho Fiera and the hidden gems of the Fuorisalone led us to the brands we proudly represent. And wow—what a showcase it was.
From timeless craftsmanship to bold innovation, each stand was a world of its own. Below, we’ve gathered a few of the highlights that stood out to us—brands that continue to inspire us, and designs that we can’t wait to share back home.
Here’s what we saw, loved, and can’t stop thinking about.
We loved Frigerio’s stand and the products they released;
A favourite for us was the Clara . Showcased in leather at Salone, the Clara is a lounge chair by Federica Biasi that gives a completely new experience in Frigerio living. The single seat is ideal front and side sofa, while in a group it defines original waiting and relaxation areas favoring meeting and conversation, with its forward-leaning posture. In the lounge version, the elongated shape offers an unexpected experience of comfort, perfect for moments of pure relaxation.
For Salone Del Mobile - Gandiablasco and GAN shared their stage
One standout from GANDIABLASCO's outdoor collection was DUNNE, a sculptural yet understated range by Nao Tamura. Inspired by the soft curves and textures of sand dunes, DUNNE captures organic movement through its fluid form and sophisticated design. This marks our first collaboration with Tamura—an exciting meeting of craftsmanship and innovation, brought to life through advanced industrial processes.
Over at GAN, it was nearly impossible to choose a favourite—the entire new rug offering was exceptional. But BOTANICA, the debut collection by Bodo Sperlein, truly caught our eye. Reflecting Sperlein’s signature blend of nature-inspired form and artisanal technique, BOTANICA features lush textures, carved detailing, and biophilic design elements that bring depth and movement into the space. Each piece plays with gradients, height, and color to evoke the expressive beauty of nature.
Rakumba unveiled Big Glow at their Australian-inspired Espresso Bar—Timtam in hand, surrounded by design industry experts, we sat beneath its warm glow. Designed by Studio Truly Truly, this innovative luminaire blends Australian wool with compostable fibres, offering both sustainability and style. Locally made in Victoria and supported by Woolmark, Big Glow redefines modern lighting with ambient and task functionality, acoustic benefits, and a deep connection to Australian craftsmanship.
Designed by Patrick Norguet, Cissy is a distinctive armchair – soft in form, generous in comfort, and full of subtle character.
The official launch April 30.
Pedrali’s stall was a true delight this year, full of thoughtful design and clever innovation. From smart upgrades to their portable lighting to fresh new colour finishes, it was a feast for the senses. A standout for us was the Granite chair a fresh take on woven seating that beautifully bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern industrial production. Its cylindrical legs are finely turned, while the oval-shaped armrests taper elegantly into the back legs, creating a refined silhouette. The aluminum frame provides sturdy support, but the true star is the handwoven seat and backrest.
There’s also an outdoor version, featuring a frame made from Iroko — a high-quality, weather-resistant wood known for its elegance and resilience. In both iterations, the Griante chair is a testament to Pedrali’s commitment to sustainable innovation and timeless design.
We were fresh visiting MARA and got to enjoy a walkthrough of their updated finishes and products.
A great new addition to the Typo collection, Mara has introduced a lounge version of the Typo chair. Lower in profile and now available with an optional footrest, this evolution of the original design is ideal for both residential and commercial projects—bringing comfort and character to lounges, lobbies, and relaxed living spaces. While its name nods to a "typing error," Typo is anything but a mistake; it’s the result of deliberate experimentation, where soft, upholstered forms meet the bold angularity of a metal frame—creating a harmonious contrast that defines its distinctive, dynamic silhouette.
With the resounding success of the Trench collection encourages the creation of new elements. This year, a lounge chair joins the family of historic pieces, a natural evolution of the chair presented last year. The linguistic continuity of the new proposal ensures coherence and recognizability, while its diversity and complementarity allow for developing new combinations to create fresh and unique spaces.
At Salone, we were excited to see Cizeta unveil several new products, with the refined details standing out as a true highlight. Of particular note was the expansion of the Remo Collection, which now includes a new armchair and a lounge chair featuring an upholstered backrest.
These additions continue to showcase the collection’s timeless elegance and striking visual impact, while preserving the iconic elements that define Remo—like the solid ash frame and sculpted legs, inspired by the graceful motion of oars gliding through the Venetian lagoon.
Cizeta's commitment to craftsmanship and premium materials remains evident, as these new pieces offer enhanced comfort without compromising the collection’s signature lightness. We love how Remo continues to evolve, staying true to its essence while offering fresh expressions of its design language.
Nomon has seen great success with their “home jewelry” concept and is now looking to expand their range into lighting.
Nomon’s lamp collections stand out for their use of wood and warm materials, crafting elegant atmospheres with a natural touch. Their new Autumn collection, showcased at Milan 2025, is characterized by the use of natural wood veneers to filter light—evoking a warm, serene ambiance that transports you to a cozy autumn afternoon - these can be personalized with your choice of wood that is wrapped around the light, from light oak to walnut, each finish brings out a different character—light oak offering a soft, airy feel, while walnut adds depth and richness.
At their Salone stall, we were treated to a live demonstration of the Versa LUX Jade’s effortless functionality—its smooth 360° rotation and intuitive Umbrosa Versa system made ease of use clear from the start. Designed by Patricia Urquiola, this parasol blends innovation and elegance with a soft-touch Kvadrat Atrium Outdoor canopy, water-repellent and beautifully resilient, and a shimmering Sunlight Magic frame that shifts with the light. Finished with a Beryl Green lava stone base and luxurious natural textures, it’s where refined design meets everyday simplicity.
Leaving Milan we’re filled to the brim with inspiration, but already craving more—more design, more conversation, more time to soak it all in. As we return to australia with sun-soaked memories, design notebooks scribbled full, and a camera roll bursting with beauty, we feel incredibly energised about what’s to come.
Each brand we visited brought something fresh to the table—whether it was a subtle evolution of a beloved classic or a bold new leap into future-forward ideas. Salone 2025 reminded us why we do what we do: to surround people with design that’s thoughtful, purposeful, and beautifully made.
We’re so excited to bring these stories and the pieces themselves, into your spaces, capturing your imagination.
