Inspirational home ideas that redefine the space | Milan Design Week

One of the leading lights in the design world, Foster + Partners have long championed the idea that interiors should be both functional and elegant, while also evoking a sense of place. The British company are also firm believers in the idea that innovative solutions can make a space feel harmonious.

This philosophy was on display at Milan Design Week as Foster + Partners came together with LG to help them redefine the living space. This was demonstrated with the unveiling of the new LG SIGNATURE OLED TV R, the world’s first rollable TV. 

Of the trends which influenced the showing, Mike Holland, Head of Industrial Design at Foster + Partners said: “The design is a creative response to the challenge of creating invisible technology that is unobtrusive with a quiet sculptural presence. 

“It dematerialises the screen, which can be automatically rolled in and out of a discreet minimalist rectangular enclosure when needed, offering a sense of liberation to design interior spaces.”

With technology becoming more and more prevalent in the home, there is a growing need for products to not only be innovative but also beautifully designed. This is certainly the case with the LG SIGNATURE line up.

The Air Purifier features an Ultra Violet Light that indicates the air quality in your home, making it aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. Its clean and compact design also take center stage.

Equally, the Washing Machine brings the best of best worlds. Efficient, elegant and durable, you’ll want to give this pride of place rather than hide it away in a cupboard.

When it comes to kitchen planning, the Refrigerator is certain to make a statement. The full stainless steel body and sleek mirrored glass panel make for an impeccable exterior design, enhancing its minimalist style.

Moving into the living room, gone are the days of huge bulky televisions, instead replaced by wallpaper thin models that resemble a piece of art. The LG SIGNATURE OLED 4K TV houses LG’s most advanced TV processor and features OLED pixels which creates an astonishing colour range on a perfect black background.

All of these LG SIGNATURE products demonstrate that electronics can contribute to the overall design of a space and can become a natural talking point. So when you’re piecing together your living space, don’t just look at the appliances at the end of the process. Make them a part of your design vision so you truly feel at peace no matter where you look.

Set to redefine the idea of the television and the living space it occupies, the brand new LG SIGNATURE OLED TV R features a rollable screen that allows freedom from walls and offers a sense of liberation.

Featuring a sculptural minimalist rectangular volume crafted from aluminium, which contains the rolling mechanism and integrated speaker, the ultra-thin screen rises from the top of this box, supported by a sprung steel backing and slender arms. The minimal detail and simplicity of the design allows it to become part of a variety of interior spaces.

“The design is a creative response to the challenge of creating invisible technology that is unobtrusive with a quiet sculptural presence,” said Mike Holland, Head of Industrial Design at Foster + Partners.

Much in the same way that the LG SIGNATURE series proved that appliances could add to the design of a home, the OLED Signage collection on display at Milan Design Week showed that innovation and beauty could be combined.

A far cry from the traditional way of promoting a message, these products were designed to demand attention while still concealing their presence by blending seamlessly into their surroundings.

Extremely slim and lightweight, the EJ5E Series is guaranteed to demand attention thanks to LG’s OLED technology that produces vivid and crisp images from every angle.
