One of my favorite furniture lines is Creazioni, a brand by Italian manufacturer Silik and a brainchild of Cristina Gattei, CEO of Silik. The name “Creazioni” means “creations” in English and captures the essence of the brand, which is to take classic styles and bring a modern, playful look to them. These re-imagined pieces take the glamour of traditional styles and brings a new level of character to them with a truly unique eye for design.
The result is a line of furniture that can capture your imagination. Vibrant colors, intriguing patterns, and even some whimsical illustrations transform these beloved styles from the past into something completely fresh. I have a few in my own home and they are always inspiring conversation. On a recent trip to Milan, I also had the opportunity to visit the Creazioni factory which was a very inspiring experience. Take a look at some of my favorite pieces from their current collections…
Elegant curves create a beautiful silhouette for this sofa, making a classic yet visually intriguing statement.
A few curves create an interesting juxtaposition with the straighter lines, striking a nice balance between the playful and the professional.
Whimsical illustrations and polka dots create unexpected but wonderful character with the ornate detail.
This bold red mirror would be the perfect choice to dress up an entryway and make a fabulous first impression.
These charming chairs would delight in a nursery for a sophisticated, yet playful touch.
For a music lover, this chair is a must in a dining room or a vanity, or perhaps as part of a vignette somewhere.
Comic book illustrations get a chic, sophisticated twist on these glamorous chairs.
Again, the wonderfully charming and intriguing creation of comic books meeting the Renaissance.
Colorful stripes in a pretty sheen play the casual with the sophisticated.
If you want a conversation piece, look no further than this settee that looks like paint dripping down a canvas.
Any time a designer takes inspiration from the past and mixes it with a modern view, interesting things happen. In the case of Creazioni, it’s brilliance.
Warm regards,
