‘Thinking Room’ by David Lynch
The Salone del Mobile fair not only attracted design lovers, but also fans of David Lynch - director of such productions as Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks. He presented the installation 'Thinking Room', where visitors could relax, sitting on a huge wooden chair at a desk against a background of abstractly patterned floor and dark blue textured walls. The purpose of this space, was to record their thoughts, which served to 'renovate or revolutionise their souls'.The Salone del Mobile in Milan is not just a fair - it is a place where the future of design becomes the present.
