Forests, birds, stand design at Milan

At the Milan Furniture Fair’s purpose-built fairgrounds at Rho Fiera, there are many impressive stands, and many that are enormous, and often particular design motifs or materials are seen repeated.

Perhaps the most prevalent theme at the 2014 fair was birds: birdsong, bird cages and forest settings. But Dedon’s stand was the most outstanding. Cut from white metal, graphic silhouettes of trees are accompanied by birdsong and other sounds of the jungle.

This White Jungle was based on a concept by Dedon designer Daniel Pouzet, while the graphics were created by his wife, Marilena Oprean.
