Garroni Design to speak at CSIE Miami Vittorio Garroni, founder of Garroni Design, is to return to the world of cruising as a Design Legends panelist at the Cruise Ship Interiors Expo in Miami, Florida this June (see page 93 for more). Award-winning designer Garroni will host a presentation on Le Yacht Cruises, a fusion project that combines ships and yachts. “I’ll explain to event attendees why it’s no longer a question of size, but of lifestyle: why luxury has abandoned opulence for direct contact with nature,” said Garroni. One of my key takeaways from Milan Furniture Fair this April was that products and designs are becoming more personalised, interchangeable and interactive. There were many examples of how products could be used to make multipurpose spaces and change designs daily to create new guest experiences. Many exhibitors highlighted how guests can add their own touch to a space, as well as how to create well-being and harmony in a stressful world. Three exhibitors stood out for me: • Salvatori – the company combined scale, textures and innovations to make an exceptional display of its textured stone products, particularly the Silk Georgette stone. • Bover – the pictured pendant light from Bover’s MOD collection was exciting because its mixes custom-designed petals and rattan material, which is new and unusual. • Dimore Studio Textiles – I enjoyed reviewing the company’s new fabric collection with a glass of champagne.
