The Salone del Mobile 2024 emphasized informality, comfort, and sustainability through several design trends. One key trend was low dining, where designers like Patricia Urquiola and Monica Armani introduced casual, lower seating systems perfect for relaxed social gatherings. Another significant trend was the focus on cushiony upholstery, with brands such as Knoll, Poltrona Frau, and Minotti presenting soft, modular furniture designed for ultimate comfort and adaptability.

This emphasis on plush, squishy textures marked a departure from rigid, structured forms. Additionally, the concept of folded arrangements—inspired by origami—added a sense of craft and intricacy to several product lines. Overall, the fair showcased a balance between innovation, sustainable practices, and an increasingly informal approach to modern living​.
