It was with heavy heart that I left Milan, leaving the amazing weather and returning to Sydney winter.

The Salon De Mobile is an experience, stunning furniture and spectacular designs.

I am loving the new trend in fabric, using 100% recycled plastic, fabric manufactures are producing soft, hard wearing commercial fabrics. It takes 370 plastic drinking bottles to cover a 2 seater lounge.

The trend in colours was predominately soft pink, terracotta and forest green with lots of curved backs on chairs.

I found the new designs for outdoor furniture innovating, unusual shapes and faster drying fabrics were prolific throughout the show.

Looking forward to next year, see you then Milan. Have those Aperol Spritz ready for me
