In the constant search for individuality, the modern man strives to differentiate and imbue the monotonous residential blocks common to large urban centres with personality through the use of interior design. Contemporary designers conceive furniture not only based on functional criteria, but also through the experimentation with fluid forms, strong colors and stimulating contrasts. Their vision is built upon an eclectic fusion of familiar elements that are innovatively combined to provoke new sensations: Solid, polished wood is combined with matte metal, glass surfaces are supported by lacquered wood, and plastic is combined with leather.
