Young designers' showcase: With luck, they'll be coming soon to a future near you

Milan Design Week just wrapped up, packed with pieces as diverse as a solar-powered parasol, rabbit-fur wallpaper, a fully functional kitchen that unfurls from a smooth pillar (along with all manner of transforming furniture) and so much more.

But one of the most inspiring sections of "iSaloni" -- not just the thousands of fair exhibitors who showed at the 2014 Salone del Mobile (furniture), EuroCucina (kitchen) and the Salone del Bagno (bath), but also the hundreds of events scattered from across the city of Milan -- was SaloneSatellite, showcasing designers younger than 35. Their contributions were less about luxury than about simplicity, beauty and utility, which was refreshing amid all the opulence.
