Gold.
The most precious metal since the dawn of recorded time.
Historically used to produce objects, fabrics, furniture for the highest social levels, and precisely because of this symbolic association, in the collective imagination the gold becomes synonymous with wealth, magnificence, power, royalty and refinement.
Just think about the Mayan emperors, the French royal palaces of the seventeenth century and the real adoration of golden decorations during the Twenties.
Returning to the present day in a dimension of more contemporary environments, if in recent decades it had been set aside because it was too excessive, pretentious or even “kitsch”, now it is the essential trend of the moment.
It can be a simple precious detail that gives a touch of brilliant brightness, combined with great harmony and elegance, or a cascade of sparkles that capture the eye of the observer and convey an undeniable feeling of charm and solidity.
This trend corresponds to a desire for well-being and luxury that is in stark contrast with the Nordic and minimalist taste that has been emerging in recent years and denotes a new search for beauty and style in the field of interior design.
