The future of design: between nature, technology and versatility
Salone del Mobile 2025 is preparing to unveil the new trends that will mark the evolution of indoor and outdoor design. The focus is on sustainable materials, light colors and versatile solutions that can adapt to any space. From the growing influence of nature to the fusion of minimalism and maximalism, design is moving towards a balance between aesthetics, functionality and innovation. An anticipation of the trends that will redefine the way we live and perceive environments.
Natural materials and sustainability: design rediscovers its origins
Nature becomes the key element of 2025 design, guiding aesthetic and functional choices in the name of sustainability. Materials such as wood, stone and fabrics dominate the scene, appreciated for their visual authenticity. Ceramics follows this evolution, enriched with finishes that faithfully reproduce natural textures, while offering a reduced environmental impact. The new collections not only interpret the inspired materials perfectly, but also guarantee resistance, ease of maintenance and eco-compatible production.
Light colors and visual harmony: the new chromatic language
Light plays a fundamental role in interior design, influencing atmospheres and spatial perceptions. In 2025, light tones become protagonists to give indoor and outdoor spaces a feeling of openness and lightness. Sophisticated beige, ivory shades, soft grays and pastel accents build up a refined and luminous style. However, dark tones do not disappear, but are cleverly reinterpreted: the new approach transforms them into tools of contrast, to create depth and visual dynamism. Ceramic surfaces follow this stylistic direction, with coverings that play with neutral shades and satin or matte finishes, creating a perfect balance between elegance and character.
Minimalism and maximalism: two souls of the same trend
In 2025, design moves between two extremes. Minimalism remains a key point for the bathroom and wellness environments, where clean surfaces and essential lines create relaxing and functional environments. On the contrary, in living and commercial spaces, a strong maximalist component emerges, characterized by bold patterns, mixes of materials and unexpected color combinations. Ceramics confirms itself as the perfect ally for both stylistic choices: on the one hand, it offers neutral and discreet nuances, on the other, it transforms into a creative canvas for innovative graphics and textures.
Innovation and technology: design becomes intelligent
The future of interior design does not only look at aesthetics. 2025 marks the affirmation of integrated technologies and intelligent materials capable of improving living comfort. Ceramics embraces this revolution with antibacterial, self-cleaning and non-slip solutions. Innovation is hidden in the textures and surface treatments, which guarantee high performance without sacrificing the beauty of the material.
Large formats and visual continuity: fluid and dynamic spaces
Contemporary architecture focuses on fluid and continuous spaces that eliminate visual barriers, creating open and harmonious environments. The large format and reduced thickness slabs accentuate this effect, minimizing joints and creating uniform and elegant surfaces. Thanks to their versatility, they integrate perfectly with floors, walls and furnishings of different styles, expanding the perception of space.
Energieker Spazio Brera: a new point of reference for design in Milan
In the heart of the Brera Design District, Energieker Spazio Brera is an immersive place where design and matter meet. The Energieker collections will be the protagonists in a space that enhances innovative formats, sophisticated finishes and sustainable solutions, offering new perspectives on ceramic surfaces. To make the experience even more engaging, an artistic installation will explore the relationship between matter, light and perception of space, revealing the expressive potential of the material.
We look forward to seeing you at Spazio Interno 18 in via Solferino to get a close look at Energieker surfaces.
