A longtime collaborator with Fendi Casa, Italian designer Cristina Celestino has been creating striking additions to the Italian homeware brand’s portfolio since 2016, when she created her Happy Room at Fendi for Design Miami. 
Echoing the arches of Rome, one of the city’s quintessential architectural features, as well as being emblematic of Fendi’s landmark HQ, the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana – a six-storey travertine-clad cube punctuated by 216 arches – her chair design features a rounded back that offers snugness and sophistication in equal measure. Available in yellow micro bouclé, pink velvet or grey bouclé, and made using a stained wood to highlight the grain, the chair pays a fittingly modern tribute to Fendi’s heritage.
