For its nature, SUVs meet the demands of two very different category of users, that before the arrival of the SUV had to make a choice and give up one feature or the other. The same thing is happening in the bike industry with e-bikes.

Intertraffic 2016: we will participate the trade fair with HUB Parking Technology, FAAC's business unit, which deals with automatic parking solutions. FTK – Eurocucina (hosted in Milan's Salone del Mobile biennially) represents the main event in design and furnishing fields: our focus will be on Faber, Italian manufacturer and worldwide leader in cooker hoods production. The spotlights will be on some new concepts, Studio Volpi's design, branding and digital teams worked on. A very complex project that we are sure will leave you open-mouthed.

We went to greet some of our clients. They were presenting the products we helped them develop with our design, engineering and branding expertise.

Our designers went to Milan’s “Salone del Mobile” looking for inspiration and new ideas for appliances, furniture and lighting. There’s a definite trend towards a more sustainable lifestyle, and a clear shift in demand that reflects the changes in our homes and in the way we perceive the world. In reaction to this trend there’s a definite going back to basics: clean lines, natural materials, and minimal shapes. We’re rediscovering nature: natural landscapes and shapes that mimic leaves and branches. Purity and simplicity are back. Wood is now the favourite material both in the objects and in the booths’ architecture with a widespread use of wooden pallets and planks.
