A Forest of Ideas. Missoni Home. Salone del Mobile 2012

Maybe it's because I've moved there recently,
 and therefore I do not know the place pretty well
 but in a city like Milan is rare to find those moments of relax and a so-called
 "breath of fresh air."
One of those rare moments happened to me when i went to Missoni
I do not know if it's just mebut this brand is not only a historical force for the Made in Italy, but it makes me feel even makes me think of meditation in all its forms.
The Creativity based on the immersion within ourselves
To do this, thenwhat do we need 
The separation from the urban life. From the city. Absolute silence
And what does this separation from the urban brings us
All this leads us to what is the place par excellencethe foundation of everything. 
Nature. 
And what, if not the forest to represent this concept 
The Missoni Home for this season has decided to dig and to propose something that would represent their identity.
 Their basic conceptThe typical colors of the house.
 The trees. The Peace of the sense. 
Simple and minimal shape furnitures, and collaboration with the artist , Duilio Fortecreator of the forestagain allows to reconcile what has long been debated.
 The relationship between art and design.
 There are those who endorse some aspectsand some others do not even take it into consideration .
I think the relationship between Forte and Missonibut also with the Bolonwho has fully and successfully realized the woven floorsit is of paramount importanceas an example of unity between different manufacturing arts .
This scenario createdfor the Salone del Mobileis a place of meditation and inspiration for artistsartists of all kinds,
 as creativity belongs to everyone.
