Trends: materials with lasting presence
A 2026 perspective on texture, detail and choices that outlast a season.
SaloneSatellite 2026 centred its programme on craftsmanship and innovation. Blum’s trend report highlights natural textures and integrated lighting. These are references from the 2026 edition, rather than announcements of a new event.
The INC perspective
INC’s interpretation favours quality experienced in daily use: the feel of timber, the depth of stone and light that accompanies the end of the day. A sculptural piece can define a room when its surroundings provide balance. The aim is a personal identity that can evolve without constant replacement.
For your project
We establish a coherent foundation of materials and comfort before adding distinctive elements: lighting, texture or a bespoke piece. Samples are considered in the room’s actual light, with maintenance, proportion and execution resolved before the final choice.
