"What would you take with you if there was a fire?" I asked different designers. The first is Japanese product designer Kei Kato, who wants to encourage our imagination.

No matter how beautiful they are - furniture fairs are also hectic. Many people, many collections and many questions. Sometimes I have no choice but to be brief. That's why at this year's Salone I only asked one hypothetical question of the designers: "There is a fire in your studio, all the people and animals have been saved. Which of your designs will you take with you?" Now I know which object the creative minds are particularly burning for.

First of all, I asked the designers which object they would like to take with them.

Like a cheerleader, I love celebrating good design and bringing you closer to everything furniture- and interior design- related. I regularly curate simple yet sophisticated interior ideas, report on trends and interview creative minds about their work.
