Design Habitat

Habitat firms bet on restrained lines and enhance quality.

"The summary of the fair would be that not everything goes. There are no major changes from the previous edition because there has been a decline in the aesthetic risk. On the other hand, Valencian industry has become more professional. Best finish , better functionality ... That a better hold table is also a design breakthrough. " Gustavo Ter Ideo (Integrated Works) has been commissioned to design a tour of several rooms borrowing products from some of the major manufacturers Habitat present in 2008, the latest version of the megaferia that will gather every year around the furniture to other home-related events, and was opened yesterday.


Ter
The tour itself is a summary of the heart of Habitat. Restrained design and enhance quality. Dare has been confined almost entirely to Nude, a space where young designers can unleash the courage safely. The reason for withdrawal is unclear. Paint outside clubs. Valencia furniture exports fell 8% in the first half of the year. In the same period, the English furniture sold 6% more exterior and the increase was 30% in Catalonia.

"We are in a difficult situation. It is normal to avoid excesses in design because not a time for madness. When consumption is fired you can sell nonsense. But now it is dangerous mistake. The consequences can be very serious," Alfredo says Roe, president of the Valencian and English furniture employer (FEDERMUEBLE). The elements of the local industry crisis has been previously described. For years, the classic furniture accounted for about 70% of the Valencia. "Now is not the classic fashion," said Roe. "There are traditional furniture companies are doing However, adapting to new consumer tastes, and doing what we call intermediate products, "adds Vincent Folgado, president of the Valencian sector employer," but the crisis in the market has been faster than the adaptation. "

Both business leaders stress that is occurring in the production rebalancing in favor of avant-garde furniture. And that is moved to the fair. In the play area recognized companies such as Andreu World, and Punt Mobles. The first appeared yesterday in a terrace air stand with his collection outdoor Japanese garden, based on slow-growing wood (unlike teak) and metal structures. The company also had three collections of chairs, armchairs, and tables with characteristic balanced design, using the injection technology of polyurethane and aluminum.

Very close to it, Punt Mobles gave a innovative twist to their collection of umbrellas, adding an element that is both green and thrifty, incorporating lamps that run on solar energy is stored during the day and which is operated with a remote control. Inside the booth waiting for a bedroom whose head has incorporated LEDs. And in the back, a repeat of his successful Magic table.

If one wanted to see daring overwhelmed, type a lamp supported on two legs of naked women, or stools so inspired by flowers that nobody would serve to sit (but used), or converting them into small tables, chairs, had to walk to Nude. The area in which groups of young designers and students can exhibit their works are not subject, in most cases, the pressure to be produced.

cabinet next to the event opened yesterday textile fairs (TEXTILHOGAR) of lighting, accessories, and art. A model that can join forces to address an important class of customers (those seeking all the elements necessary to furnish and decorate for example a hotel) but may be deterred by their size. Some, like Vicente Blanes, director of the Institute of Textile Technology, did not seem excited. "The presence is not required, although recommended," he said, reports Lucia Gadea.

claimed the employer cabinet, meanwhile, helps to "restructure" the sector. And the Government Delegate, Ricardo Peralta, said that the plan designed by the Executive will be signed, "in all probability, before the end of the year."

Ikea's new line seeks to maximize space and minimize the time for housekeeping

Compact, comprehensive and functional. So is the furniture coming in 2009 and to be imposed in homes where families want to maximize your comfort, with little money, and minimize the time devoted to housekeeping.

These concepts were noted in modern furniture company Ikea exhibited at the Home & Garden Show, sponsored and conducted this company last week at the Anaheim Convention Center. Mary-Ann

Barroso, an interior designer for the above store, explains that the new furniture, 2009 can furnish small spaces without running the risk that look overloaded. And as the pieces are compact and designed with many drawers and storage space, the rooms themselves are sorted, cleaned, and create an environment where energy flows easily and the feeling of relaxation.

"The new trend is noticed mostly in the furniture and appliances that we have just come to the kitchen, denotes Barroso.

For example, the respondent says, in 2009 comes a dishwasher that is built into a sheet made of volcanic ash (which looks like granite or marble) that is mounted to measure directly on the kitchen counter and prevent the accumulation of dirt or mildew between the cracks or joints of the tiles.

for 2009 is also a deep dish, porcelain, one piece, designed with the perfect size to hold the boards used to chop food.

Another interesting aspect of modern appliances for the kitchen stoves is that professionals (six or more rings) are much more compact, like those of a panel that is placed in an integrated fashion to furniture of the integrated kitchens.

"The silver continues to be used in appliances, hoods, utensils, ornaments and other decorations for the kitchen, and even for the rest of the house," Barroso added. For an organized closet

Anything new that brings 2009 for a variety of bedroom furniture to organize the walk-in closet, very common in modern homes and the so-called double master bedroom or the house.

The novelty lies in the dynamic design of various convenient to organize shoes, underwear, blouses, sweaters, socks, plantalones and other pieces of clothing that can be used separately or integrated. Nicoletta

Tencamp

also interior designer for Ikea, said that the black-brown is fashionable today will present next year in the kitchen furniture, bedroom, dining rooms, main halls and family entertainment; covers (cloth or leather) chairs or sofas , picture frames and mirrors, curtains, carpets, towels and other household items.

This color also dominate in bookcases and entertainment centers, that will come much more compact as they are designed to carry the new narrow-screen televisions.

The integrated bar furniture and dining room are other bright ideas in furniture, 2009. For

the bathroom, the new trend is seen in the large mirrors (framed in various types of wood) and higher consoles (with many drawers inside for medicines and toiletries) coming to replace traditional metal cabinet and portalavamanos wooden drawers.

The color of brown, tan, black and white will continue to dominate next year in sheets, blankets, towels and covers for chairs, armchairs and sofas.

"The red color continue to be used to provide drama and joy of decoration", denoted Tencamp. "It will be seen especially in sofas, side tables, shelves, vases and artificial flowers."

Playgrounds built the house

Extending inside the house or garden patio behind the house is another decorative design concepts of the modern house, 2009.

Mark Patterson, the company's Islands in the Sun, explains that the islands or bars that carry (seamlessly) a gas or charcoal grill, small refrigerator and a stereo are taking more and more popular year after year to acclimate playgrounds, as well as portable fireplaces and wood burners.

And in the garden will look vases (with the help of an engine a certain amount of water reused) meet the same decorative function of a waterfall or fountain.
