From October 12 to 15, Crocus Expo will host the 12th editioniSaloni WorldWide Moscow was held. This year, about 260 companies from Italy and other countries took part in the largest interior design event. We tell you what the participants and organizers liked and remembered in our report. Over the course of four days, the exhibition was visited by over 30,000 people from 18 cities in Russia, as well as from Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other countries. “Compared to last year, the difference is simply huge,” Pier Paolo Celeste, Director of the ICE Agency in Moscow, shared with us. “If before we were not sure of the result, now we see progress. We are full of enthusiasm and can set new goals, the main one of which is to grow and develop at the same pace.”
And indeed, this year life is on displaywas in full swing not only in terms of diversity. Russian designers had a wonderful opportunity to learn from the experience of famous Italian colleagues and take part in their master classes. The main speakers were Duilio Forte, Claudio Lazzarini and Karl Pickering, as well as Francesco Librizzi. Oksana Kostyuchenko, architect - I came to the exhibition to get a new portion of inspiration and take another look at the new products. It was nice to see brands that are loved not only by me, but also by my colleagues. Many presented wonderful options for decorating stands and demonstrated their furniture in all its glory. Now I have something to think about and work on in my projects!
And again within the framework of iSaloni WorldWide MoscowA competition was held that helps young designers from Russia and the CIS countries under 35 years of age to make a name for themselves and meet representatives of leading furniture companies every year. 44 people took part in the competition on this year's theme "New Materials > New Design". In their works, they had to use innovative materials and their unique properties.
The winners were selected by an internationalcommission and awarded on Friday, October 14 at 12:30. First place went to Tanya Repina, who presented furniture made of pine, second place went to Anastasia Kopteva and Alexander Braulov with a project for a transparent hanging organizer, and third place went to Natalia Musorina for a chair made of 5-layer plywood and harsh threads. The three winners will be able to take part in the next SaloneSatellite WorldWide Moscow competition as part of the Milan Furniture Fair from April 4 to 9, 2017. Inga Azhgirey, interior designer — I especially remember several Spanish stands and street furniture. And, of course, the SaloneSatellite WorldWide Moscow competition area made a big impression – very interesting, unusual works.
