Contamination of languages: the boundary between fashion and design is getting thinner and thinner. The great maisons transfer their know-how to the furniture sector, applying sartorial principles to armchairs, seats and wallpapers. Materials, textures and processing become the meeting point between the two design worlds, giving rise to collections in which the rigor of design dialogues with the aesthetics and material research of fashion.

Karl Lagerfeld Maison introduces the second chapter of the Wellen Collection, expanding its collaboration with guest designer Toan Nguyen. The original Wellen celebrated the timeless elegance of the 1970s. Its name, meaning ‘waves’ in German, pays homage to the fluid lines and flowing forms in Karl Lagerfeld’s fashion sketches from that era. The collection now includes twelve new pieces called K-Wellen (on cover), inspired by the iconic ‘K’ shape. This new line embodies Karl Lagerfeld’s minimalist elegance, reinterpreted with sophisticated, contemporary design. The distinctive ‘K’ silhouette is evident across a range of furniture, fostering a harmonious dialogue between essential geometries and luxurious materials. The standout feature? Metallic finishes provide a bold character and strong aesthetic identity, perfectly aligning with the futurist vision of the renowned couturier.

With its understated silhouette, without concessions to superfluousness, the Vivace armchair is a tribute to the purity of 1920s design and its inimitable glamour. The shell is made of curved wood covered with a metal “skin” worked in relief, evoking a forest of bamboo canes. The interior is upholstered in embroidered silk fabric in subtle shades of sand and silver. It is a small manifesto of style: the subtle play of proportions, the understated preciousness of the materials, the tactility that is at once refined and minimal. It is a trait d’union between many of the pillars of the Armani/Casa aesthetic: a way of being conceived at 360°, from clothing to the home. In which aesthetic clarity becomes the key to entering a world in evolution, but always faithful to its essence.
