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.
