SaloneSatellite has always been one of my favorite parts of the Fair. This is when young designers have the opportunity to showcase their designs on the world stage during the Salone del Mobile, the largest gathering in the world in furniture design. This year we continue to see the talent displayed. Here are our picks for this year:

Seasons by Nao Tamura.

These are silicon serving plates that are designed in the shape of leaves and can be easily rolled-up for storage, or perhaps even displayed as art. It’s simplicity doesn’t require much more explanation to appreciate. This was the winner this year at SaloneSatellite.

Folding Chair by Plicio.

A simple chair that just needs to be folded with a few easy steps and connected at the base with a rope to keep its shape. The chair when stored flat is only 6mm thick.

Perpetual Illusion Clock by Delphine Frey.

This aluminum clock requires a closer look. There are layers positioned to spin on top of each other, giving an interesting effect while telling time. It definitely caught our eye while we browsed through the many designs at the show. Her designs have been displayed by Christofle as well as Nespresso.
