There are many suggestions that inspire us to seek new ways of dialogue between businesses and the market: We were thinking of a recovery with unlimited growth. Instead everything had to change: speed, quality, perception of time, of the body, of values. The importance of love and affection. We must begin to see things in a broader and more complete sense, using additional, complementary and different knowledge tools. The materialistic vision is the biggest limit to overcome, even to sell new products. Our companies, as well as workplaces, are spiritual entities.

The editorial theme of this edition is Fire as a primary element, symbol of magnetism and energy, of heat, of liveliness, which was the inspiration for the displays and for the «Flames of Light» communication campaign. Multiple flames, fire surprises, inspires, forms and transforms without ever going out. A regenerating motion, designed by incandescent threads which, when aligned and misaligned, recall a textile weave.
It is the search for light that summarizes the spirit of the next trends, centered on three aspects of observation which correspond to as many ways of feeling and acting.

From the Body of Light research space comes the invitation to find new tools to look at reality objectively and not fall victim to the lack of understanding of what is happening around.
