HOMI is a renowned exhibition dedicated to decorative objects, accessories, decorations, tableware, textiles, essences, and perfumes that characterize contemporary living spaces and the latest living scenarios.

HOMI is the home, updated, synonymous with style, and telling of the latest lifestyle trends. Twice a year, it takes place in Milan (Italy) the home of design.

More than a lounge, Maison&Objet is the center of attention of every professional. Design, fashion, home, decoration objects, arts. The fair explores every decorative universe and style: to renew ideas or change them, inspire them, and create your own universe. Natural decoration, creation, design reference, a mosaic of trends, new talents, and new concepts. Maison & Objet offers another look, another atmosphere: an offer of high added value!

MAISON&OBJET Paris was strongly characterized by three thematic areas.

The first is MAISON, which is the house and its wide range of interior decorations, organized in different worlds.

The second is OBJET, which focuses on the product: a helpful concept store for retailers is organized every year.

Finally, there are INFLUENCES. As the name suggests, the format focuses on market trends, and the original display form was created to facilitate communication and the discovery of new products.

01 Regeneration for Ceramic.

Following the theme of the (re) generation.

Different reflections and creations of a generation determined to change and overturn the codes as much as possible are highlighted.

Ceramic jars that reproduce a classic style, the effect of the finishes that imitate the used effect, but written contemporary messages that fit with modern kitchens and all ages of customers.

Pastel colors that underlie the idea of past times, simulating vintage products from the granny kitchen.

Hybrid collection: magical paintings for an original and colorful table. The iridescent colored motifs boldly mix traditional decorative elements inspired on one side by the West and on the other by the East.

The contrast of the motifs is accompanied by the contrast of shapes.

The union between past and present, between East and West: an exuberant mix between tradition and modernity!

Bone China PORCELAIN

Handcrafted pieces in stoneware with a unique multi-colored glaze. The aesthetics of a decorated dinner table setting are empowered by the cozy harmony of calm colors. Shapes strongly show the handmade identity and are decorated not in a cold industrial way.

Plates with unconventional borders, irregular geometries, more natural effect: at first sight, they give an impression of something made by hand from a pottery artisan. Irregularity is a plus, not a defect: naturality and humanity.

Bowls: suitable for all the places of the home, kitchen, living room, bathroom, etc.

In fact, they could contain plants, biscuits, or bread, or be used for serving soups, maybe without nothing, just to create a decorative corner between books on shelves, or placed on the bedside table as an occasion for putting inside jewels and watches before seeping.

FLEXIBILITY with SIMPLICITY.

ARTWORKS translated for DAILY LIFE.

Each handcrafted vase challenges the balance between soft and cohesive forms, playing with human silhouettes in contrast to the architectural components of the building.

The ideal pieces for an artistic and authentic aura at home.

ECLECTIC SURFACES.

The collection is inspired by the European avant-garde movement created after the Second World War and expresses the spontaneity of the gesture, the work on the material, and the collective creation.

This vase challenges the balance between soft and playful shapes.

02 Earth Tone for Ceramic

FROM NATURETONATURE

From the colors of the earth and the materials themselves, everything is tinged with its shades in a warm embrace, a welcoming, reassuring nest. Hues of browns and terracotta were rediscovered in the research of a wild nature in the genuine world for a basic living. Earth is our nutrient for us to live a healthy life in a calm and healthy ambiance.

Key elements： Organic Shapes/Simplicity/PurenessOf Lines/ Few Colors Combination/ Sustainable Materials/OneColor

Brown and terracotta pigments create an incredibly grounding and stabilising decorating scheme. They help us reconnect with nature, bringing us back down to earth when we're craving stability.

Terracotta is taking over the interior design with its rich, earthy, red, and brown tones that are easy to incorporate into wardrobes and interior features.

From scorched earth to pink terracotta to hazelnut.

Bringing nature indoors: the earthy shades, "the earth palette", perfectly meet this need.

This trend describes the growing concerns related to sustainability, the desire to reconnect with wilderness, the search for authenticity, and even the expression of more sobriety in consumption.

KEY ELEMENTS: organic shapes / one color

03 Colorful Matching for Ceramic

SPRAYINGJOY

After these months of stressful and frightening waits, the need of joy and return to life with reborn enthusiasm is really.

We notice new confidence in colors: colorful wallpaper, patterns, textiles, as ceramic products and glassware, decorative items emerge with strong frequency.

Surreal splashes of color: ironic and bold colors for a FEEL-GOOD home and for the shared places.

Hues in pastels for more dreaming and playful return to childhood intimacy, a romantic touch easy to combine with earth or grey tones, to the whites or the darkest elements.

One of the color trends I've seen dominating designs in these just finished fairs are saturated, juicy colors paired with much paler hues in the background to make the intense colors pop. After a challenging year like this one, people are craving positivity, so designers are giving us the cheerful, vivacious corals, magentas, and oranges we need right now. These deliciously juicy and rich colors have a rejuvenating and uplifting effect. They are warm, but not hot. Refreshing, not brash.

And the combination of pale pinks and creamy tones creates an intriguing contrast that just works.

In some designs, the pale background is as important as the focal color, grounding it and making pop.

These designs make a statement by coloring objects in colors they normally aren't. The goal here is to be playful and create escapist landscapes where people can find a few moments of solace away from the challenging reality.

Use colors in unexpected, even surreal ways to create dream-like images.

Bold proposals

The color matches represent a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.

A color palette for the bold and determined that makes us want to bring about positive change, even placed on a table or on the shelves, even as a gift as a message of a return to joy.

KEY ELEMENTS

Think harmony, not dissonance.
Soft colors or bold, strong and pop.
Smooth surfaces or textured with decorations that enrich the monochrome object.

04 Eternal Black for Ceramic

DARK ATTITUDE

Black is still one of the trends of this period and is supposed to remain. Even if here in Italy and Europe in general, black in our imagination is matched to negative feelings, to darkness, to sadness, black is without any doubt one of the most elegant colors, for fashion but for interior design as well.

Black and dark tones are relevant, from cabinets to sinks, paint, and countertops, ranging from living rooms, bathroom accessories, bedroom or freestanding kitchens, etc...

Advice: Remember to include contrasting colors (a pattern, a detail or with a bold border), natural and light hues or strongly colorful, according to the researched effect.

Black is chic, elegant, and (barely) never goes out of style. It looks great as a small-scale accent or as a large focal point in the room, and so on the tables.

TOTAL BLACK or repetitive forms and graphics contrasting with bright creme hues.

Obsessive motifs, quite hypnotic, or minimal touches of color.

Black consent to pay attention to shapes and volumes: is growing the attitude of a view of vases sculptures or statement objects.

Vases that are a result of exploration of new organic, biomorphic shapes inspired by the movement of natural elements, of the material itself, of the gestures needed in the realization process.

Everything is changing, and the big ceramics show it with their unexpected presence.

KEY ELEMENTS

Textured and satin/ matte finishes

05 New Lightness for Ceramic

Products that boast very delicate, light, and organic shapes. Products that have soft colors, a lot of white, and are even see-through. The idea of reflecting light, not taking up a lot of visual space, and giving a relaxing, calming feel dominates this trend.

Sometimes just a little decor, a thin golden border underlines the sensation of levity, a thinner thickness lets the users feel delicacy as the idea of preciosity, just in touching and lifting up the products.

06 SUSTAINABLE. GREEN HOME for CERAMIC

CASE STUDY

TERA vases for indoor or outdoor living
Material: 100% recyclable - recycled plastic
An evident example of how precious and trendy could be a product even if made reusing waste materials.

RECYCLE | RETHINK | REBORN: to give plastic a second life.

KEY ELEMENTS
ETHICAL APPROACH - DESIGN
INNOVATION

I know I'm often repeating myself in recent months, but the ever-growing trend with an evident presence on the market is precisely the one that relates to the concept of nature and sustainability.

A macro trend that blends into every other trend, ethically necessary and inevitable by now.

This need to redesign and review spaces and objects of everyday life is expressed in the global return to the human and primordial aspect.

The creation of a mindful home is becoming increasingly important.

Bringing the experience of nature into products with greater attention to detail, carefully selected materials, and authentic functions that whet the appetites for natural living.

Mindful and thoughtful home.

MASS TREND

Ceramic translates well the experience of nature into the home. Ceramic tableware (material from the earth) combines the idea of healthy food that has to be present and contained.

This design theme feels completely natural. The colors and the alternative - often sustainably produced - materials literally bring natural spaces to life.

Customers carefully curate what they allow to move in with them today. They pay more detailed attention to the little things.

STATEMENT: We opt for authenticity rather than high gloss design.

ADVICE
Recycled ceramics and porcelain and products made using sustainable production methods: everything is communicated by the brand because it is a note of added value and preciousness.

It's communicated through communication channels (adv, website, leaflets) and more than often on the same product and related packaging.
The colors, the final glazes are certified for naturalness and absence of toxicity.

The materials and finishes simulate a vintage, used look, as if of natural corrosion and deterioration due to use and exposure to atmospheric agents. In some cases, they look like a continuum of the ground.

Products that go well with indoor and outdoor environments.

07 Line Decor for Ceramic

Line drawings made with a skillful lightness of touch, most of the time consisting of a single sweeping stroke or a few delicate lines, are currently to be seen everywhere in interior design.

Line art: the perfect curve.

I am convinced that this trend line can show its true potential even more strongly with values of awareness, creativity and freedom.

HIGH POTENTIAL trend

Just a few lines are needed to create a complete picture. Line art radiates optimism. The cultivated stylistic elements of line art fit perfectly with our present time.

08 Leisure Live 

Leisure means well-being.

A need for a calming atmosphere to suit the "TO BE HOME" theme. Small, essential objects, benches and cushions, cozy soft materials--minimally furnish a meditation room.

A selection of textile lamps that warm up the ambiance or a little corner.

This approach highlights the return to life through a selection of soft elements with organic shapes.

The theme, which had started even before the pandemic, is in total resonance with what we're experiencing. Furniture more and more presents the internal nature of the home, its pleasant character.

The soft and calm atmosphere given thanks to unique objects, chosen in research of good combination between organic shapes, good materials, warm colors.

The home nowadays has to be more cocooning, a place where experience the good of life, alone, in a family or even when we have to stay in and work.

HIGH- POTENTIAL TREND

Products today need to have a deeper meaning, thus having a sustainable purpose and nod to general well-being.

Colors don't fight with our eyes: dark earth tones, pale pinks, mostly desaturated greens and blues.

09 Green Color for Ceramic

The green color is, without a doubt, a symbol of a new beginning. This color aims to revive, restore and renew.

Today we look at these hues not only as a color but as an ideal element of reconnection with nature and the wishes of the great outdoors.

STILL GROWING and with the HIGH POTENTIAL trend.

New declinations of greens: from muted mints, soft sage, pistachio, to earthier olive green.

PURPOSE: a fresh and renewed start after a worrying year.

KEY ELEMENTS

This is the reason because it can reach all range of customers and never tire them.

10 New Romantic for Ceramic

The new romance comes to the interior design trend.
Translucent colored florals with a romantic touch are key to this trend.
Faded vintage rose prints and ice-cool colors give a fresh new look, even on a plate.

KEY ELEMENTS

You can select smaller elements of the romantic interior design trend or make a complete collection.

The trend will work with the existing decor, so customers will love this emerging and growing trend. Expected to become a MASS trend.

MATERIALS: Made from a combination of different materials such as Veneer, MDE, Formica, Perspex, Plastic, and Felt and are all colored with quality Molotow" Premium colors.

SHAPE TREND

EXTRA CURVES

Items that have curves.

The era of razor-edged design is giving way to soft lines and feminine curves.

Maybe it's a desire to surround ourselves with more elemental shapes and forms in a world increasingly disconnected from nature.

The preponderance of softer lines and rounded edges in everything from furniture to architecture is a hard fact right now. It's also a welcome one after years of ultra-sleek lighting, industrial-style interiors and macho super -buildings.

Here the smaller products generously appropriate this style.
