Milano Design Week, 2025
A Vision in Motion

Following our visit to Salone del Mobile, our design team has returned with a fresh dose of inspiration, a world where light, material, and movement converge. This mood board captures the essence of what we saw:

  • Degradé finishes and opalescence,
  • Transparent layers in motion,
  • Textural finesse and weathered patinas,
  • A strong focus on theatrical presentation, blending natural stone, metal, and reflection to tell a story of both craft and innovation.

These elements echo a growing desire for materials that express subtle complexity, designs that shift and respond, creating an emotional resonance through surface and depth.
For the automotive sector, these design cues open rich possibilities:

  • Exteriors featuring gradient coatings, anodised metallic trims, and light-reactive panels that evolve with the environment.
  • Interiors where translucent layers, refined textures, and matt patinas add sophistication and tactile appeal.
  • This mood is less about the loud and more about the sensitive choreography between material, light, and movement, creating vehicles that do not just transport, but perform.

In short, it’s not just a design change — it’s a strategic refinement of how identity is expressed in motion.

For clients interested in a more detailed presentation of our current design directions, including visuals, mood boards, and insights from recent design events, we are pleased to offer private presentations upon request.
