The 1930s Castrocaro Terme, in Romagna, forms the backdrop to Italian furniture company Giorgetti’s 2022 collection. A rationalist building originally conceived by engineer Diego Corsani and decorated by ceramicist and artist Tito Chini, the interiors exude a balanced geometric rigour juxtaposed with the rich decoration.
This location, explains art director Giancarlo Bosio, ‘is perfectly in line with the spirit of Giorgetti, the beauty of decorative details, prized materials, unique spaces designed to exalt life’s essential elements: beauty and culture as authentic sources of meaning and significance.’
The new collection. pictured here and also presented at Salone del Mobile 2022, includes the ‘Borealis’ screen by Roberto Lazzeroni, an intuitive design that was the result of the architect’s ‘quick thinking’, defined by a sensual composition of interwoven leather bands, whose arrangement references the patterns of the Aurora Borealis.
Also featured is Dainelli Studio’s ‘Montgomery’ chair, inspired by classic furniture silhouettes updated with a contemporary spin.
The collection’s ‘Flamingo’ gaming table, an in-house Giorgetti design, is at once playful and decadent.
Featuring leather upholstery and edged in ash wood, the table incorporates four pull-out shelves – room enough for a guest’s drink, for example, without the need to clutter the playing surface – that can also store gaming pieces when stowed away. Four sculptural chairs accompany the design.
In a chic take on the home office desk, Dainelli Studio has created the ‘Edward’. It features a desktop available in ash or marble, is modestly sized in order to fit into any domestic space, and also comes in a vanity version.
Among other designs in this elegant and intricate collection are Lazzeroni’s ‘Ray’ coffee table, a nod to the 1970s and described as ‘a UFO that has landed in the living room’; Carlo Colombo’s 1930s-inspired, softly upholstered ‘Vibe’ bed and accompanying side table, along with the designer’s rigorously orthogonal ‘Soho’ modular sofa; and ‘Anthology’ wall covering, inspired by Renaissance-style floors, by Giancarlo Bosio, who also contributes a compelling series of low tables, ‘Griffe’, crafted in wood, leather and marble.
Such projects, and the entire 2022 collection, are the result of the company’s push for creative research into shapes, materials and craft, which, CEO Giovanni Vecchio notes, allow ‘Giorgetti to propose a unique product, sophisticated, a unique blend of craftsmanship and technology, that shifts from beauty to functionality.’
