A social trend for storytelling and narrating fairy tales is reflected in design where the idea of the figurative form comes back to life.

With their products, designers want to tell stories about our existence and the future of our world. Ideas about house and garden are embroidered, woven and collected into tender and detailed form.

A romantic vision able to seduce the consumer/curator to collect quite a personal story. A nostalgic journal of existence.
