Sensory Geometries: The Evolution of Softness in the New Projects for Target Point.
A New Living Sensitivity
The stage of the Salone del Mobile di Milano 2026 was the natural convergence point of a profound reflection on form and its vocation to welcome. Within the new exhibition stand designed for Target Point, we presented a furniture collection created to redefine the domestic landscape. Not merely functional volumes, but silent presences, conceived with design responsibility to accompany daily gestures with a reassuring elegance.
Theo and Belem: The Forms of Conviviality
At the heart of this vision lie the Theo and Theo Bold tables, true beating hearts of the convivial space. The formal research focused on eliminating sharp edges in favor of an organic language, where even the corners of the top soften into delicate radii that invite connection, breaking down every physical and visual barrier. The core of the project, however, resides in the conception of the supports. The round-section leg of Theo Bold, with its significant fourteen-centimeter diameter, stands as a solid pillar of softness, resolving at its extremities with two elegant semi-domes: one rests on the ground, anchoring the furniture to the space with lightness, while the other engages beneath the top, creating a sophisticated suspension junction. In the Theo version, this same logic becomes lighter in a more slender proportion, with a nine-centimeter diameter, keeping the poetry of the detail intact. Engineering disappears, allowing a visual experience of profound and natural harmony to emerge. To complete this fluid domestic choreography, the Belem chair steps in. Its lines are born from an intimate and uninterrupted dialogue with the Theo table, gathering its curved heritage to translate it into an enveloping seat. The softly rounded shapes of Belem do not solely respond to a need for comfort, but sketch a blank canvas of well-being: a refuge where the body finds its natural posture and time slows down, cradled by a tailoring that places the human being at the center of the design.
Medea and Oyster: When Matter Becomes Rhythm
Moving the gaze towards the storage volumes, the Medea sideboard interprets an unprecedented union between rigid matter and perceptive delicacy. We shaped the fronts to reproduce the wave-like movement typical of a curtain, transferring the warmth of a soft living fabric onto a solid surface. This complex three-dimensional workmanship captures the warm light of the interiors, generating a rhythm of subtle chiaroscuro that vibrates and shifts over the hours. It is an invitation to touch the piece, to perceive its material fluidity that dresses the environment with a whispered grace. The Oyster sideboard finally explores a different stylistic register, yet akin in its level of dedication to detail. The inspiration draws from the absolute precision of master watchmaking: the rhythmic sequence of the front recalls the succession of links in the famous watch bracelet. The technical complexity of the workmanship and the millimetric proportions merge to give life to a rigorous yet charming texture. Constructive innovation is ennobled to offer the eye a surface of impeccable visual cleanliness, a manifesto of a cultured and timeless elegance.
The Culture of Measure
These new architectures to be lived testify to the desire to bring into everyday spaces an aesthetic that is never ostentation, but a pure, measured, and authentic expression of care.
