For the all-Italian furniture design house Cattelan Italia, however, there’s nothing new about this obsession with comfort. From its beginnings in the 1980s, founder Giorgio Cattelan was inspired by the materials and sinuous silhouettes of nature and the all-important warmth they bring to furniture. ‘The house is the symbol of one’s dearest things, it should be welcoming, both in form and substance. In my opinion, beauty is a function, above all’ he said at the time, and this conviction is evident in the bold sculptural sweeps of early collections, made largely from marble and crystal, and later drawn from experimentations in the fine manipulation of woods, steel and leather.
