FENDI
Architect and interior designer Cristina Celestino dug deep into the Fendi archives—all
the way to 1987—and reclaimed the Pequin stripes for Fendi Casa’s latest Back Home
collection. The broad black-and-brown motif made a stunning comeback at the Salone
Internazionale del Mobile, decorating all-things Fendi: from the ginormous Pequin tent
to the series of Luxury Living Group-produced furniture pieces. The muted, bicolour
pattern in many incidences was ingeniously softened by the curved and arched lines
of the selection of armchairs and sofas. The Pequin coffee tables, on the other hand,
were embellished with precious marble and onyx inlays, as well as a floral graphic
logo originally sketched by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s. Celestino, who is a frequent
collaborator at the Italian house, also elevated the fact of what a design marvel Fendi
is with a plethora of fashion-centric furnishings such as the mirrors and lamps with
silhouettes inspired by cufflinks.
