There are many trends that have influenced the world of furniture in recent years: prominent among them is a growing focus on combining modern design and craftsmanship to bring together two worlds that until recently were thought to be opposites.
The pursuit of a contemporary aesthetic, thus often characterized by clean and seemingly simple forms, seemed necessarily to distance itself from a more artisanal nature of production, marked by the use of fine materials, techniques refined over time, and details of workmanship that indicate the care employed in the making of each piece.
Among the brands selected by SAG’80 today, however, more and more are focusing on a fusion of craftsmanship and a more minimalist design thanks to advanced production techniques that make it possible to obtain unique products, tailored to the customer’s needs but with that attention that recalls the work of artisans of yesteryear.
Arclinea, Flos, Gallotti&Radice and brands throughout the Molteni Group are just a few of the brands that constantly strive to strike a balance between quality, functionality and beauty within their collections, relying on the most renowned designs on the international scene and striving to reach an ever-widening audience.
How traditional craftsmanship blends with modern design in luxury interiors
Within the SAG’80 universe there are countless examples by now that demonstrate the possibility of blending a handcrafted character with a modern aesthetic without any compromise, and the achievements of the Milanese company, always in collaboration with the best brands on the market, prove this repeatedly.
An example of this is the project completed in Dallas, in a luxury residence inside which marble and other fine stones, typical of a more classical atmosphere, alternate with pieces of decidedly contemporary design, such as the table designed by Saarinen for Knoll or the Eames chairs by Vitra. In this case, luxury is further enhanced by precisely those details that contribute to a unique style.
Even the dream home built in Hong Kong, with lighting systems supplied by DelightFULL and Serip, and furniture produced by B&B Italia, Molteni, and Cassina, among others, stands out for the incredible balance given between the union of typically Italian design taste, with its inevitable attention to detail, and elements more characteristic of the Asian world, creating a unique mix of styles and cultures.
The best way to discover the wide range of proposals that combine modern design and craftsmanship is to go to Via Boccaccio 4, Milan, where you can admire live the collections of selected Italian and international brands to understand the most suitable options for your home environment.
