This year’s edition ran from April 21 to 26, welcoming 316,000 visitors to over 1,900 exhibitors, including new exhibitions like **Salone Raritas** (collectible design), **Aurea** (Architectural Fiction), and **Abito** (design-fashion ties). After navigating the massive pavilions, Surface spotted these five trends set to dominate interiors. ### 1970s Inspiration Remains, But the 1990s Are Catching Up A half century since the era of bell bottoms, many designers have turned to the **maximalism** and **low-slung furnishings** of the 1970s. At Salone, **Knoll** revived its 1973 Morrison Hannah Chair for European offices, while **Minotti** placed shag fur carpets in its '70s booth before transitioning to **1990s-inspired wares**, including oversized modular seating by GamFratesi, Hannes Peer, and Giampiero Tagliaferri. ### Build Your Own Conversation Pit Sofa cushions were thoroughly stuffed and puffed, with **insular arrangements** referencing the midcentury conversation pit. Large, curved sectionals dominated booths of brands like **Dedon, Minotti, Nii, and Tacchini**. **Norm Architects** created an elongated version for Audo Copenhagen, while **Acerbis** went literal with a communal lounge platform. **Claudio Salocchi's** Free System now includes new corner elements for added configuration. ### Cabinetry Gets Puzzling In contrast to simple Shaker-style cabinetry, exhibitors embraced the complex. **Xavier Lust's** Salone Raritas booth showcased an intricate gold satin-lacquered bar cabinet. **Ilmari Tapiovaara's** casework by La Permanente Mobil Cantù hid storage behind bookshelf panels. At **Zanat**, a chest of drawers by **Michele De Lucchi** was carved to appear interlocking. ### We All Just Want to Be Held—By Seating **B&B Italia** returned after a 25-year hiatus with a Formafantasma-designed booth, highlighting a **Vincent Van Duysen** outdoor chair with overstuffed cushions for an enveloping effect. **Minotti** offered curved upholstered backrests on dining and lounge chairs. **Kartell's** Super Tubby sofa by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba featured an angled section to hug the sitter, while **cierre1972** presented a pillows-on-frame model for total comfort. ### The Color of the Fair? Orange While neutrals were plentiful, many brands embraced color—especially **orange**. **Knoll's** Biboni lounge chair by Johnston Marklee stacked tiered curves in the hue. **Karl Andersson & Söner** presented a zigzag sofa in orange. **Campeggi's** Quilt Pipe sofa by Giulio Manzoni took a dustier approach. At Salone Raritas, **Nilufar** presented orange sconces, while **Su Yang Choi's** seaweed-based lighting and **Midtun's** cathedral glass-paneled table embraced shades at SaloneSatellite.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>salonedelmobile</category> <category>designtrends</category> <category>furnituredesign</category> <category>milan</category> <category>interiordesign</category> <enclosure url="https://www.surfacemag.com/app/uploads/2026/04/08_Salone_Raritas_MARTA_SALA_EDITIONS_photo_Saverio-Lombardi-Vallauri.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Transform Your Yard with Nicole Kidman's Vertical Garden Secret for Year-Round Privacy and Beauty]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/transform-your-yard-with-nicole-kidmans-vertical-garden-secret-for-year-round-privacy-and-beauty</link> <guid>transform-your-yard-with-nicole-kidmans-vertical-garden-secret-for-year-round-privacy-and-beauty</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 26 Apr 2026 18:00:27 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[When asked about the size of their yard, most people simply measure the ground's surface area. However, experts understand that every garden holds more potential than meets the eye when you factor in vertical space. Nicole Kidman’s garden is a perfect example of this principle in action. When the actress shared her Golden Globes gown on Instagram, her lush **vertical garden** (serving as her backdrop) was impossible to ignore. The imagery shows a wooden fence entirely enveloped in English ivy, with trees and vines arching over the top, creating a **multi-layered canopy of greenery**. This approach maximizes plant density, enhances privacy, and creates the illusion of a much larger yard. ## The Masterclass in Vertical Gardening Master Gardener and author Thom Rutter explains: 'Nicole Kidman exemplifies how important it is to **maximize greenery in your yard** by filling fences and walls with climbing plants. By growing upwards, you can easily create a vertical garden that adds greenery to the boundary of your plot. Doing so is a clever way to make the most of your growing space, even in smaller yards.' The most straightforward way to replicate this aesthetic is by selecting plants that naturally reach for the sky. Rutter recommends: '**Climbing plants** – including English ivy or evergreen clematis – are ideal if you want to encourage birds, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to your yard. These two species are also ideal as they **retain foliage year-round**, meaning that whatever the season, your plot will remain green.' This year-round vibrancy is especially valuable during the dormant winter months when most gardens look bare. ## Native Alternatives for 2026 For those focused on local ecology and native planting, there are excellent alternatives available. 'For a native option, try growing **Clematis virginiana**,' Rutter suggests. 'This species produces a bounty of attractive white blooms in summer, growing best in sunny spots with plenty of moisture.' Whether you are working with a sprawling estate or a compact urban patio, **growing upwards** is the ultimate way to expand your horticultural horizons. Just take a cue from Nicole Kidman’s elevated green sanctuary.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>verticalgarden</category> <category>privacy</category> <category>climbingplants</category> <category>evergreen</category> <category>landscapedesign</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/LYj5McAJv5cVi7WrEXhvWB-1600-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Fan-Made Movie Posters Are Outshining Hollywood Originals: Here's Why]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/fan-made-movie-posters-are-outshining-hollywood-originals-heres-why</link> <guid>fan-made-movie-posters-are-outshining-hollywood-originals-heres-why</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 18:00:26 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[In today's era of creativity, the ol' floating head movie poster just doesn't cut the mustard anymore, so fans have taken matters into their own hands. Using shots from movies and behind-the-scenes snippets, creatives are turning these unassuming images into magnificent movie posters that are arguably better than the real thing. While there are no strict rules for creating the best movie posters, often new releases will fall back on formulaic design, which soon becomes oversaturated. Demonstrating the diversity of film poster design, these ingenious fan-made works show how non-Hollywood budget creatives can create posters just as impactful and iconic. ### The Trend: 'I Saw This and Created This' The trend revolves around a **before-and-after format**, with creatives posting their inspiration picture and their original design alongside the caption "I saw this… and created this." Among the posters, graphic designer @ClemsGraphics' design was popular among fans for its take on Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Using a behind-the-scenes shot from the movie, Clément captures the refined yet nostalgic feel of the old films, with **dynamic lighting and enhanced visual contrast** that creates a simple yet striking poster design. In another inspiring design, @AleksPhoenix creates a new poster for The Devil Wears Prada 2 using a close-up shot of Meryl Streep. Pairing a **bold serif font with delicate cursive**, the poster perfectly balances the film's high-fashion magazine aesthetic with a sense of edge (a huge improvement on the official posters in my humble opinion). ### Examples of Fan-Made Posters Check out these stunning fan-made posters that have gone viral: ![Poster for The Devil Wears Prada 2 by @AleksPhoenix via X](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HV7zNQJnMWeM4rp2UqnryY.jpg) > I saw this and created this https://t.co/iLPHadlTDr pic.twitter.com/JXvriZ51td > — @cantworkitout (April 20, 2026) > The result.

Compared to recent Disney animations, the **concept art** looked like a Marc Chagall painting. Now the **animation** giant has revealed a first glimpse of the actual character designs from the upcoming movie, and, well, they're not quite what some people had hoped for. Design changes during production aren't uncommon – just check out how different some of the **original Disney character designs** were for some of its biggest movies. But *Hexed* is raising eyebrows because of how it seems to have changed in just eight months since the movie's existence was made public. When **Disney announced Hexed** last year, it said the movie would be about “an awkward teenage boy and his Type-A mom” as they “discover that what makes him unusual, might just be magical powers that will turn their lives and a secret world of magic, upside down.” Flash forward to the recent presentation at CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas, and the lead character has changed gender to become a teenage girl. Called Billie Doe, she will be voiced by **Hailee Steinfeld** (Gwen Stacy in the animated *Spider-Verse* movies). The 'Type-A mom' remains present, to be voiced by **Rashida Jones**. Not shown in the post above, those attending were reportedly shown footage in which Billie received a personality test from a book and quill. Some suspect the change in gender may have been made due to the poor reception of *Elio*, whose lead character was an 11-year-old boy. *Elio* did badly at the box office last year, but it seems a lot of Disney fans were intrigued by the potential originality of a movie about a **boy witch**, and a mum and son relationship. "I was SO looking forward to this being about a BOY witch! Now we’re getting yet another girl coming of age movie like we don’t already have a thousand princess movies," one person complains on Instagram. Some animation fans say the upcoming movie now sounds like a rehash of the cancelled Disney+ series *The Owl House* and the *Halloweentown* TV movies. "Man, if only we had a show that has two seasons and multiple specials about a girl who wants to become a witch and is whisked away to a magical realm away from her uptight and single mother with no father figure. Oh wait..." one person writes. *The Owl House* and *Halloweentown* aren't the only movies and series to have such a premise, which is a pretty classic teen isekai trope. But the other reason for the controversy is the **art style**, which looks so different from the concept art used to announce the movie last year. The characters of Billie and Alice reflect the 3D animation style used for *Elio*, and most Disney animations since *Chicken Little* twenty years ago. I can see why fans are struggling to see the connection to the original imagery by the Spanish artist **Lorelay Bove**. ![Disney Hexed concept art](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/rFmFtR5mcoYezmCnRxd2eZ.jpg) That's the nature of **concept art**: it's about exploration and imagination. Concept artists are tasked with visualising possibilities and sparking ideas. Early designs are often exaggeratedly stylised or experimental to help push creative boundaries. Considering that Disney hasn't released a 2D animation since *Winnie the Pooh* in 2011, it was unlikely that it would change direction with *Hexed*. But it was the saturated colours and non-CGI look that got people so excited when the movie was announced. Perhaps Disney should hold off from sharing concept art until after a movie's released to avoid causing disappointment? Directed by **Josie Trinidad** and **Jason Hand**, *Hexed* will be Disney’s 65th animated feature film. It will be released on 25 November. For more magical animation coming before that, check out the trailer for **DreamWorks' Forgotten Island**. And don't miss the trailer for **Coyote Vs ACME**, the movie Warner Bros didn't want you to see.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>disney</category> <category>hexed</category> <category>characterdesign</category> <category>animation</category> <category>controversy</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8zTd5X4PKi8KYcbJ3EAxs4-1200-80.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[10 Game-Changing Ways to Use ChatGPT Image 2 for Stunning Visuals]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/10-game-changing-ways-to-use-chatgpt-image-2-for-stunning-visuals</link> <guid>10-game-changing-ways-to-use-chatgpt-image-2-for-stunning-visuals</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2026 18:00:27 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[OpenAI's **ChatGPT Image 2** enables the creation of detailed visuals while integrating precise text elements into designs.
