Mid of red backpack reading: \"Salone del Mobile Milano\"LEADIN: A week-long showcase of fun, functional and fabulous interior designs is what's promised at this year's Milan Furniture Fair.  With 2015 being named 'International Year of Light' by UNESCO, biennale exhibition 'Euroluce' is exhibiting a dazzling array of new lighting designs.STORYLINE:On the outskirts of Milan, thousands of design-hungry shoppers are flocking to the opening of the city's annual furniture fair, the 'Salone del Mobile'.It's here where the who's who of interior art show-off their latest creations.Across 20 pavillions, Euroluce, a biennale exhibition devoted to lighting, is celebrating its 28th edition.UNESCO declared 2015 the 'International Year of Light'.And this week numerous young, up-and-coming designers are hoping to turn the spotlight on themselves.There are endless rows of innovative light solutions - from the minimalist to the grandiose - including a hand-blown glass chandelier weighing 2,600 kilos. \"Here at Euroluce, they always have wonderful installations and this year is the same,\" says Parker Larson, a style editor at Architectural Digest.\"This installation behind me by Petra Krausova is a kinetic sculpture that moves with the person who can interact with it. Another trend I'm seeing is customisable lighting. Roll \u0026 Hill did a new collection with Ladies and Gentlemen and you can do different configurations based on what you want for your home or installation.\"LED lighting is making a prominent appearance here too.Massimo Buster Minale, the CEO of London-based design company Buster\u0026Punch, claims to have invented the first-ever designer LED bulb.\"We're here today at Euroluce launching our Buster bulb, which is the world's first designer LED lightbulb,\" he says.\"People thought we were crazy when we started doing it because every big lighting manufacturer has been trying to make this bulb and we think we've succeeded, and the great thing about this bulb it's 3 watts, it lasts 10,000 hours, it's great for the environment, it's great for your pocket, it doesn't cost much money, and the best thing about is it's seriously sexy doing it.\" At 45 euros each ($47.70 USD) the fledgling company is hoping to bring their new designs to the masses.Not so much for Italian design house FLOS, their prototypes here are displayed like works of art. Items range from USB-powered lamps to temperature-changing LED lights and sleek ceiling fixtures.  The Milan furniture fair is a truly global gathering of designers, spread across a 200,000 square-metre space. Swedish duo 'Front' have designed an extra-light dining table for design company 'Porro'. To make it, they used Dulver material, a solid surface which is 100 percent recyclable. \"We've been working with Porro for seven years, and we know each other quite well,\" says designer, Anna Lindgren. \"We were asked to make a table with a centre piece.\" \"We made a table that consists of two ellipses, sort of balancing on the edge of each other, so we played with geometric shapes,\" adds Sofia Lagerkvist, Lindgren's partner. German designer, Christian Werner isn't new to the Salone scene. He's seen many couches over the past 20 years. \"This is my first day here at the fair, so I have not seen everything so far, but one thing I can say is very little has changed,\" he says. \"In fact, I saw many things we have seen before, and this makes me even more proud that I had the chance of doing this sofa project for Thonet company, because I tried to define the sofa in a more modern way, playing with transparency to bring it into the present-day, with a certain ease and lightness.\" Werner's sofa is called '2000'.Despite the strong international element, Italian furniture firms still remain most prominent at the Salone del Mobile.And they're thinking much bigger than just the national market, exporting up to 80 percent of their products.Many are part of the 'Archiproducts' network, an online showcase of the world's top designers with 2 million followers on social media site Twitter. But sometimes nothing works better than a simple handshake at the Salone del Mobile.\"At an international level, this remains the most important fair,\" says Marilde Longo, the executive director of Archiproducts.com \"This is shown by the number of exhibitors - more than 1,500 - and by the number of visitors at this fair. This year there are many more international exhibitors. We are really happy about that because clearly international companies still have a very strong interest in the Italian market. This means Italian architects and designers showcasing at the Salone are still very appealing.\"The Salone Del Mobile (The Milan Furniture Fair) is now in its 54th year.The fair runs 14-19 April 2015.====Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com.
