Now into its 14th edition, SaloneSatellite Moscow was back at the Crocus Expo-2 exhibition centre from Wednesday 10th to Saturday 13th October, in full synergy with the Salone del Mobile.Milano Moscow, the benchmark fair for interior concepts.
36 young designers, chosen from amongst the top students at the most prestigious design schools in Russia and Latvia, showcased work that explores the relationship between heritage and the contemporary world, with designs harnessing the new technologies in tandem with craftsmanship. A mixture of experimentation, memory, slow design, nature and the force of matter, anthropomorphism, creative recycling, cross-pollination and digital effects that astound and give pause for thought.
The entries at the 14th edition were judged by a jury composed of professionals from within the sector: Alessandro Lanzani, architect; Barbara Abele, Associate Professor, Art Academy of Latvia; Elena Marco, journalist; Enrico Maria Masiero, President, Masiero; Ferruccio Laviani, architect; Inna Demidova, Director, Artfuture Design School; Massimiliano Messina, President, Flou; Olga Kosyreva, CEO, Design Lectorium; Patrizia Malfatti, Head of Communication and Press Office, Salone del Mobile.Milano; Marva Griffin, Founder and Curator of SaloneSatellite.
