The design company, with its subsidiary, is a pixel in the larger design week picture which is all set to commemorate in Milan from 7th June 2022 till 12th June 2022. Over 2000+ designers return with a plethora of installations and design interventions after two years hiatus owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Firstly, the collaborative project ‘Design Expressions’ by Florim weaves a story through the means of luxury, creativity, architecture and contemporary design. The exhibition project is the brainchild of the world-renowned architect and designer Matteo Nunziati who directs the expression of Florim’s brand identity as a collective portrayal of all its souls. Through the designs for Heritage Luxe and Nature Mood collections, Matteo showcases different but complementary design styles in the same verse. The Florim stand at Salone del Mobile and the Foro Buonaparte showroom will be narrating the story of the four settings with a strong identity featuring large slabs for the two corresponding collections.

Furthermore, Cedit’s ‘New Future Treasures’ ponders upon the expanding world of digital realities owing to the metaverse. For experimenting and exploring virtual reality, the brand embraces the past, present and future. It transforms a museum into a timeless space where the ceramic surfaces rise higher to dematerialise every corresponding identity. The virtual NFTs act as an invitation to enjoy and appreciate art in a new way. Moving through the Cedit collections, one can notice the intertwining of different expressions and languages where the references and symbolism coexist in historical ruins. While existing in a certain bewildering classicism, they also wander across the projections for the future thus creating an immaterial place where material surfaces come to life.
