On the occasion of Salone del Mobile.Milano 2023, Désirée brand, part of Gruppo Euromobil, specialised in the production of upholstered furniture, such as sofas, armchairs and beds, presented a living collection created together with four designers.
From his collaboration with Désirée, architect Tobia Scarpa proposes two new products: a chair and a table named Ciàcola, created to coexist in unison, but also perfect individually. The folding chair has a walnut frame with steel joints and is identified by its strong lines. Straight lines meet and collide to form a seat with simple joints. The different wood grains give an appearance of three-dimensionality that makes each chair unique and different from the others. The table, with a thick (19 mm) transparent glass top, also has a walnut wood base and legs that intersect by means of metal joints to form an X.
The partnership between Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez and Désirée has resulted in three important new products. The Sheridan sofa, with its clear, symmetrical lines permeates rooms with stability and proportion: trapezoidal backrest and armrest, covered in removable fabric or leather, combine with a seat with customisable cushioning. The Eben armchair focuses on woven wicker: simple rounded backrest, available in two versions, high and low, accommodates the seat and gives the effect of a hinted parenthesis, which, however, is not intended to invade personal space too much, but simply to accompany it; solid frames and legs in light natural ash wood firmly rooted to the ground contribute to a feeling of stability and strength. Finally, the Alix armchair: the gaze necessarily rests on the backrest, which rises upwards through a striking interlacing of leather strips. The weave is inspired by the diamond pattern that adorned many of Milan’s entrances at the beginning of the 20th century and the capitonné effect has been reworked and interpreted to create a modern, lighter and more delicate piece of furniture. A thin metal frame supports a self-supporting seat cushion and a soft back cushion in fabric or leather.
In addition, Setsu & Shinobu Ito have designed the Tè chair for Désirée. Light, compact and characterised by a few essential elements with an organic design, the chair is available in two different finishes, natural or charcoal-stained ash.
Last but not least, among Désirée’s living proposals is the historic collaborator Marc Sadler, from whose pencil was born Haneda, a seating system inspired by tatami that stands out for its total flexibility and infinite combinations. From a two-seater sofa to a system capable of accommodating several people, Haneda allows for the use of space and a continuous change of perspective. With its new structure in painted stainless steel and solid iroko wood, the in&out version is ideal for furnishing terraces and covered verandas.
In conclusion, the new chairs, armchairs and tables proposed by Désirée are the perfect choice for modern, international and timeless living, integrated into today’s living.
