Valencia 2025: A Designer’s Dream Come True

What struck me most this year was the balance between aesthetics and practicality. The best designs were not only visually outstanding but also deeply comfortable, durable, and sustainable. Many of the European makers are now combining traditional artistry with contemporary production — the result is furniture that truly earns its place in a home. It’s rare to find pieces that deliver both quality and value at this level. Valencia showcased collections that would stand confidently in the most refined interiors, yet remain surprisingly well-priced for their build quality. It’s a reassuring sign that beautiful, lasting design doesn’t always have to come with a luxury price tag.
