How can the connected home care for us today?
This is the question addressed by “Future Habit(at)”, the exhibition conceived for the latest edition of the Salone del Mobile by Archiproducts Milano, with Studio Salaris. The question is not new in its form, but is full of original substance, driven and continually updated by highly topical stimuli and challenges. Everything questions the future of our daily lives, in every dimension, from public and private space to leisure time and work. The Rooms at Archiproducts Milano, in Via Tortona 31, explore the role of technology in our future lifestyles with proposals, products and visions from different brands.
Solutions from Bticino, whose Smart Apartment applications become a system, integrating home automation, video entry and the “Internet of Things”. The Classe 300x connected video door phone sees who’s there, lets users answer the door, and provides access locally or remotely via an App. The MyHome automation system meets the needs of security, comfort, energy savings and communications between different devices, allowing users to decide which applications to use immediately and which to activate later.
Technology dematerialises in the kitchen, like the origami inspiring the Steininger kitchen top. The kitchen – with robust materials and a light design housed in its pulsating technological heart thanks to the M.POD system – transforms the kitchen top into a high-tech work surface. A 32-inch touchpad, an incredibly intuitive interface, and a system of touch sensors make the kitchen Smart. All functions can be managed centrally to access thousands of applications for recipes or entertainment and connect to other devices via Bluetooth.
Relationships. Dialogue between people and technology. Home automation rethinks systems in terms of comfort and values. The Samsung Family Hub refrigerator proposes new ways of reducing our environmental impacts by connecting to a smartphone with an internal camera system and management applications that warn us if products are about to expire, help us shop and avoid food waste.
Future Habit(at) is not just about performance domotics but also about the technology of harmony. Systems, interfaces and products look to a more serene way of experiencing our daily life. The Japanese mui Lab, with its Taoist philosophy of mui shizen (being in harmony as you are), proposes IoT interfaces that combine the nature and simplicity of wood with the most advanced technology – to build relationships, inform, communicate, entertain, remember.
The rooms at our Archiproducts Milano showroom provide a memorable Design Experience, where home automation becomes increasingly warm, close, accessible, and human.
