From March 11 to 26, the Milan store of Di Mano in Mano is changing its look to celebrate an eclectic style that combines the antique with design: a new setup designed to further enhance the multifaceted soul of the Milanese Cooperative.

Trends in the world of furniture

In recent years, trends in the world of furniture have contributed to creating a somewhat flattened aesthetic: key words are minimalism and essentiality in spaces, complemented by a little greenery carefully placed in strategic spots, climbing up light wooden bookshelves.

Then there’s a neutral color palette, made up of various shades of beige, white, and dove gray. This type of aesthetic reigns supreme in furniture catalogs, advertisements, hotel rooms, and the homes of the most famous Instagram and Pinterest influencers.

While it’s true that this kind of aesthetic plays it safe, it’s also true that it’s not functional for designing spaces that reflect one’s personality and individual needs. So imagine yourselves as painters in front of a blank canvas, with infinite colors to choose from. And not only that: you can choose from oils, temperas, pastels, pencils, and watercolors. What a paradise, right?

This is what happens once you step into the stores of Di Mano in Mano.

The offer of the Di Mano in Mano Cooperative

Di Mano in Mano, thanks to its furniture and decor items all sourced from the past, offers an alternative for those who want to furnish their spaces with a personal style while paying attention to sustainability.

It starts with antiques, moving through mid-century modern, design, and art. The functionality of furniture that made Design history, softened by baroque touches in a lacquered wood sideboard; colorful 1950s/60s chairs accompanying imposing neoclassical tables. And then there are all the other components of furniture: seating, wardrobes, lighting, rugs, paintings, and objects.

The typical Di Mano in Mano formula of style blending, though unconventional, represents a precise solution desired by the Cooperative. It offers a different interpretative key, which shines a new light on objects and furniture from the past, coloring them with a contemporary touch and making them accessible even to those not in the industry but with a sensitive taste and a desire to express it in their home.
