The 2022 Collection. A warm and fluid home.

While in the previous few years the narrative project paid tribute to the great protagonists of international modernism, this year references to the roots of the movement are fleetingly mentioned, evocative. It mentions the atmospheres: the fluid homes, to be lived in, the large and convivial rooms linked one to the other, the permeable internal and external spaces. And above all that idea of space, extremely elegant but without any ostentation for ostentation’s sake, in tune with the surrounding landscape. Paraphrasing Alvar Aalto: spaces that in their form express content and that content is linked to Nature.

Like the great examples of the homes of American modernism, Vincent van Duysen imagines a single storey house, in which you can feel in touch with the ground, with the outdoors. Think of homes marked by transparency, organized with light-weight partitions and wide outward-looking verandas and terraces: thresholds, open spaces halfway between indoors and outdoors, spaces that are private but in direct contact with light and Nature.

The Molteni&C|Dada 2022 narrative project proposes a home with a well-defined style, with no overlapping, where the decoration stems from the aptness and the harmony of the forms: more rounded, soft and enveloping.

In textiles he prefers light and earthy colors and material patterns that highlight the rounded shape of the cushions. Hence Dadirri by Marta Ferri, which the designer defines as “a textile collection that aims to find the ideal combination between quiet contemplation and close attention to the natural world around us, a homage to the warm colors of the earth and its infinite shades. A harmonious mechanism that brings neutral tones together, starting from greys, beige and camel, superimposing them in net contrast to bright colors such as moss green, yellow ochre and rust”. For a home to be “felt”, soft and real. To be wrapped around itself, like a dress made to measure.
