During the 10th edition of Design Miami/ in December 2017, FENDI presented WELCOME!, a space designed for “good living”, featuring furniture pieces by young Italian designer Chiara Andreatti. Andreatti is considered one of the most interesting designers representing new Italian creativity. Not only was she able to interpret the spirit of the Roman Maison, she also translated its creative and aesthetic philosophy into a range of limited edition luxury furniture pieces. WELCOME! was a living room where diverging, but complementary eras and flavours coexisted, communicated through a wide range of handcrafted and natural materials. This luxurious environment conjured up an atmosphere that evoked both intimacy and primordial times, characterised by neutral, soft tones. A rural, rarefied luxury was punctuated with high-end, elegantly refined elements. By introducing – and interpreting – several FENDI details into her own furniture pieces, Chiara Andreatti pays homage to the brand’s most famous icons and their fur craftsmanship, which she incorporates within her collection, creating a “survey” of FENDI creative universe. For her delicately shaped objects, Chiara chose soft hues and exotic materials along with sophisticated craftsmanship. The large table and the smaller side-table rest on wide, natural brass legs, while the table top features a thick bamboo interwoven linear pattern inspired by the let-out workmanship of the iconic 1971 Astuccio fur. The rocking chair, featuring a U-shaped backrest and a soul harking back to familiar home scenes, is made of burnished steel finished in opaque wax, completed with two sophisticated cushions in Cuoio Romano in the FENDI ochre-yellow – one for the headrest and one for the wide frame.
