While the Salone Internazionale del Mobile celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, the 14th edition of SaloneSatellite, “50+50 Projects – Designing the Future,” challenges its young desingers to give us a sneak peek into the next 50 years of design. From idealistic and ambitious designs with social agendas resolute on saving the world, to the more individualistic, tongue-in-cheek creations designed to help save one’s sanity, the sustainability factor was through the corrugated roof at Cargo 5 this year!
For Italian designer Lorenzo Damiani, saving resources is a mission. Damiani’s remarkable “New Life” installation, made entirely of pressboard, looks at how we perceive materials and associate them with a value, instead of looking at all of our resources as equally valuable. When you look at all the wonderfully designed pressboard objects, his message resonates instantly.
