Salone del Mobile 2023: A Travel Back To The Golden Years of The Fifti

The 2023’s edition of the Salone del Mobile Milano has started, and we have so much to share with you! If you’re a true mid-century aficionado, you cannot miss the change to travel back to the golden years of the fifties with DelightFULL, Essential, and Mid-century Club brands! The mid-century Portuguese brands have decided, once again, to join forces and provide a unique experience! You can visit the team in Hall 11, Stand E 231.

DelightFULL and Essential Home became a worldwide reference for design through its unique furniture and lighting designs inspired by the Golden Era. This year, discover new and exciting pieces that showcase the best of Portuguese craftsmanship, as well as contract options and a special focus in exquisite lighting products that will change the way you view design.

While many design trends come and go, the midcentury modern style is well-entrenched in today’s design vocabulary. Midcentury modern style is a style of interior design characterized by a contemporary, somewhat futuristic aesthetic and an emphasis on function.

Though the word “neutral” might not exactly light a fire of instant inspiration in your mind, the fact is that neutrals have a crucial role in just about any color scheme we can think of. The neutral colors of the booth make the golden lighting and furniture fixtures pop even more!

The Classics

We can say that Matheny chandelier is the luxury statement piece of DelightFULL’s stand. A unique chandelier, a new take on the mid-century classics. It has a geometric design of combined tubes and its structure is handmade in brass. Its shape is round and is composed by golden tubes, which reflect the sophistication of a timeless iconic lamp. With 110 pounds, this luxurious chandelier light can be used in a modern living room or as a modern dining room lighting. All in all, Matheny round chandelier will certainly capture the attention of your guests.

Coltrane pendant lamp is one of DelightFULL’s top best sellers. With a minimalist and industrial feeling to it, it is not, however, hard to understand where the mid-century inspiration lies. Coltrane is a simple suspended ceiling light, which is handmade in steel. It features a steel cord and canopy at the top, while down below the tube is built out of stainless steel, with a gold powder finish. The shade is also made of steel but it is lacquered a matte gold on the outside and a gold powder paint on the inside. An industrial pendant lighting design fit for the most demanding setting, with a seal of high-quality craftsmanship only delivered by the best artisans in the industry. Coltrane is a great mid-century modern lamp for more minimalist home interiors, as well as for contemporary hotel decor.

Another classic design that you can see at DelightFULL and Essential Home‘s booth is Monocles Sideboard. A perfect furniture piece for retro lovers and mid-century admirers, Monocles sideboard with its solid walnut wood structures and gold plated brass feet make for a luxurious piece for any true mid-century interior. As if taken straight out of a Bond movie, Monocles oozes charm and luxury like no other piece could ever.
