Italian furniture in Moscow: from Tuscany with love
The October exhibition of Italian design i Saloni 2009 showed how the classic interior will surprise us next year.
The Italian region of Tuscany, known for its centuries-old traditions of furniture production, is for Russia one of the main “trendsetters” in classic interiors. What does Tuscany offer to all fans of classic comfort this year?
Italian furniture in moscow
1. White dominance
The classic interior in 2010 remains white (brands Bastex, Corte Zari). White furniture, white floor, white ceiling. For a change – a wealth of textures: velvet, silk, fur, lacquered and matte finishes. Having caught the spirit of the times, even the ebony wenge “turned white”: the recognizable wood pattern that appears through the whiteness of the countertop or chest of drawers is one of the main trends of the last exhibition.
For the practical person, there is a way to escape – powdered violet or pink, deep purple, baked milk color (Savio Firmino) or radical black (Corte Zari).
- trend # 2: shine of metal

2. Shine of metal
The classic interior has become low in gold, and he decided to borrow the cold shine of hi-tech – now the carved secretaire sports a silver foil coating, and metal corner plates (Bastex) flaunt on the bed.
By the way:
all the furniture changed its paws to voluminous legs a la chess pieces – even a low chest of drawers and a bed. Not a very economical solution in terms of free space – but how impressive!
- trend number 3: rhinestones, crystals
Luminaire brand Stil-Lux.
3. Rhinestones, crystals
There are more and more of them, they are on everything: on a black velvet headboard in the form of capitonnails, on a kitchen mixer and a bathroom sink. There are no restrictions on the number and appropriateness of the location in the apartment. Long live the inlay! Long live the sparks!
- trend # 4: giant chandeliers
Stil-Lux brand chandelier.
4. Giant chandeliers
For a long time, no one has required the performance of their direct duties from a lamp – to illuminate. Its main task is to make an impression. And the chandeliers, more reminiscent of a waterfall pouring from the ceiling directly onto the floor, no doubt succeed. Cascades of crystal jets of all colors of the rainbow are one of the main features of the classic interior – 2010. The scale of the room does not play a role in this.
- trend number 5: crystal

6. Crystal
Crystal has long gone beyond serving items. It is now used to make not only glasses and glasses, but also boxes, ashtrays and even CD stands and audio speakers (the creations of Mario Cioni). And the crystal vases have become few flowers, they serve as a repository of poetry and philosophical metaphors.
- trend number 6: hard country
Kitchen of the Maggi Massimo brand.
5. Hard country
This is exactly what the founder of the furniture company of the same name Maggi Massimo called his new collection – Hard Country. Antique massive furniture with brass overlays and copper handles, a low sofa covered in leather, floors made of stone slabs or wide planks, wooden floors, plastered or brick walls, chests and open cabinets – just like that, brutal and at the same time very cozy they don’t look anymore only “men’s” rooms – a home bar, an office, a billiard room, but also a kitchen. Colors: terracotta, ocher, gold, yellow. As a kitchen decor: porcelain plates and pottery, bunches of onions and garlic, … Of course, all household appliances are retro.
