Conceived as a gallery by art director Antonio Citterio with a series of separate rooms, Maxalto's stand at Salone del Mobile in Milan was made extraordinary by high luminous walls of rice paper, in which the brand’s most iconic products dialogue with fine objects and works of art.

The new pieces designed by art director Antonio Citterio, presented in 2023, are therefore not a “collection”, because they fit seamlessly into the catalogue, dialoguing with its elements, often in a surprising assonance of opposites thanks to unprecedented forms of organic inspiration that contrast with the more formal ones of the Déco aesthetic.

An evolution that, looking straight into the future, also manages to draw on inspiration from the past: this year sees Maxalto relaunch the original logo of the 70s, reaffirming and enhancing its identity and confirming the independence of a brand born to stand out, unmistakable yet without any clamour. Originally elaborated as a jigsaw puzzle in different kinds of wood, the logo thus returns to stand out on a deliberately restricted selection of textile and non-textile products (upholstery, carpets, plaids and Tesaurus storage units) all set to become icons of an ageless style.

Each new piece enriches and completes an environment that is more conceptual than domestic,where nothing is dictated by chance, ostentation or commercial convenience, but rather fits into a precise horizon of meaning.
There are new profiles and sizes, innovative materials and updated colours, not to mention re-issues of historical elements, revised to be more solid and functional. There is, above all, a blend of culture and territory, of creativity and of practice, that even in the industrial paradigm, remains craftsmanship. It seeks artistic solutions where aesthetics and elegance are values that are as practical as they are philosophical, and that continue to be, in the globalized world, the most authentic representation of Made in Italy.

An identity that has remained relevant by renewing itself for centuries and one that Maxalto practices by combining the results achieved by the Medieval workshops with polytechnic knowledge that has since become technological know-how. By continuing to pursue an ideal aesthetic capable of surviving all trends and all times, as Oscar Wilde teaches, beauty is forever useful.
