If creative director Alessandro Michele has taught us anything, it is that individual expression through design has no limits. In the world of Gucci, the possibilities that exist to combine colors, shapes and patterns are endless. For Michele, each creation is a new opportunity to design that which mixes heritage with self-expression, always inspired by the fierce and extravagant side of nature. The new Gucci Décor collection is no exception, as Michele brings us a selection of pieces that make us true curators of our living space.
The home collection embodies the hallmark of Gucci clothing and takes you to a space where it is possible not only to wear Italian luxury, but also to live in it. Each piece presents characteristic elements of the brand, be it the GG pattern, the motifs of bees and stars; Gucci Décor is an unmistakable statement of interior design: the new way to upholster a home full of spirit for those who are not afraid to live in a vibrant and fantastic space.
IN THE DINING ROOM
Gucci Décor introduces a tableware created with the same dedication as the dishes of homes where food is a reason for gathering and conviviality. The porcelain plates, manufactured by the Florentine firm Ginori 1735, are the result of detailed and specialized craftsmanship that includes hand-painted Herbarium stamping and other complex processes.
Other tableware features the Odyssey and Star Eye patterns. In a range of colors mainly green and yellow, the different pieces for the table are complemented by silver cutlery that also follow a special manufacture with more than 20 stages. The fork and spoon sets, which can be personalized, feature recurring motifs in Gucci jewelry such as bees or the renowned lion heads.
IN THE LIVING ROOM AND BEDROOMS
The link of creative freedom with detailed craftsmanship is at the heart of every Gucci Décor collection. For this reason, dinnerware sets are not the only items that celebrate the artistic ability of what is handmade and made in Italy. The candles, with different aromas, are made of colored opaline glass, similar to the pharmacy containers at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, made with the traditional glass blown on the Murano islands of Venice.
The various items also have gold accents or written words, evoking a powerful and romantic aesthetic that extends to the furniture and blankets that make any room more inviting. Immersing any guest in an atmosphere of warm fantasy full of comfort, Michele uses different textures and fabrics to create furniture that becomes the ideal pieces for any eclectic design.
Virgin or mixed wool, jacquard weave, silk and linen line furniture displaying iconic Gucci motifs such as the octopus, jellyfish, cat and the "V" graphic that stand out on surfaces mainly in black, blue, pink, green, yellow — all in intense and deep tones. The collection also uses contrasting details such as the braided fringes on the blankets and benches, the brass trim or studs on the armchairs. The excellence of the carpentry work of course makes its presence in folding wooden tables and in other parts of the furniture.
IN THE WALLS
Finally, the whole of a Gucci-style home composition culminates with the extravagant tapestries in non-woven fabrics with floral and geometric graphics, that are only possible through a lengthy digital printing process due to their large number of colors. Because yes, the saturation of shades and shapes will never be too much.
To further exploit the symbolic meaning of Gucci's abundant portfolio, Alessandro Michele created a campaign dedicated to the collection, photographed within the walls of the Atelier Canova Tadolini Museum in Rome, filled with sculptures by Antonio Canova, Adamo Tadolini and other artists.
