Domestic scenarios

Table, light, sound. Objects that transform the environment with style and character, creating a complete and immersive living experience

The table is adorned with history, light becomes portable, and sound blends seamlessly with nature. These objects, diverse as they are, are the true protagonists of a complete sensory experience. From exquisite silver cutlery to fine porcelain services, from the versatile cordless lamp to the sculptural audio diffuser, each piece is a key element in defining the ambiance, adding character and an unmistakable touch of design to any space.

Torsadé | Buccellati (on cover)
Torsadé by Buccellati is the most refined expression of goldsmith’s art applied to the table. This silver cutlery set is not just a utensil, but a jewel that celebrates artisanal mastery. Its distinctive “torsadé” craftsmanship translates an idea of timeless elegance into precious metal: each piece, from the spoon to the coffee spoon, is a small masterpiece that elevates the everyday gesture into an experience of pure luxury and beauty.

Clan Mini | iGuzzini
Born from the pen of iGuzzini, Clan Mini is the luminous echo of an era that dreamed of the future. Inspired by the avant-garde design of the 1950s, this table lamp embodies the reassuring roundness of a rediscovered harmony. Cordless and rechargeable, Clan Mini translates the idea of versatile and intimate light into a contemporary object: over 9 hours of autonomy, dimmable light, and variable color temperature make it a protagonist in any space, illuminating faces and surfaces with a design touch that “caresses” the environment.

Rosa Rosae | Geminiano Cozzi 1765
There is a taste of history and the freshness of decoration in the new bone porcelain collection signed by Geminiano Cozzi 1765. It is called Rosa Rosae and is inspired by a tableware service dating back to 1780, kept in the Ceramics Museum of Giuseppe Roi, in Bassano del Grappa. Rosa Rosae offers a dialogue between past and present, reinterpreting the aesthetics of the Venetian Baroque. The decoration, an anastatic copy of the original, depicts a harmonious chase of floral motifs and newly blossomed roses, among which some butterflies dance. The collection is declined in all possible interpretations of art de la table and hospitality, for all hours of the day.

Bernardo by Elena Salmistraro

Bernardo | Elena Salmistraro
Designed in 2020, Bernardo reinterprets the panda, a universal symbol of endangered species, elevating it to a proud and courageous hero. Its name, “strong and brave like a bear,” manifests in an upright and majestic pose, adorned like a tribal chief: a symbolic armor, a crown of leaves, and bamboo branches transform it into a guardian ready to fight for the planet’s preservation. Its distinctive ceramic decorations, with chromatic alternations, refined glossy/matte effects, and three-dimensional inserts, create a fascinating character that captures the imagination. Bernardo thus translates a profound idea into a work of art: transforming vulnerability into a powerful message of hope and responsibility for the future of our world.

Beosound Balance Natura | Bang & Olufsen
A dialogue between aesthetics and performance, between nature and technology: this is Beosound Balance Natura, the speaker created by Bang & Olufsen in collaboration with Antolini®. Part of the Atelier Bespoke offering, the new speaker integrates an innovative natural quartz pedestal – from Antolini’s Exclusive Collection – with a distinctive anodized aluminum ring. The sculptural base elevates the speaker to its optimal height, making it both a piece of furniture and a functional audio system.
