The art of comfort: soft power in contemporary craft
Through five distinct pieces—each sculptural, versatile, and thoughtfully made—Desiree reveals a new layer of its design philosophy.
In 2025, Desiree celebrates thirty years as part of Gruppo Euromobil with a bold yet intimate showcase at Salone del Mobile.Milano. This milestone year marks a renewed commitment to comfort, craftsmanship, and contemporary aesthetics, as expressed through five standout pieces that define the brand’s evolving design language. Rooted in a philosophy of timelessness and authentic connection, Desiree’s vision unfolds in forms that welcome and inspire—where detail is essence, and softness is strength.
Desiree – 5 highlights from the Milan Design Week 2025:
Homan – The signature of informal elegance
At the heart of the new collection is Homan, a modular seating system by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez. More than a sofa, Homan is an invitation to inhabit comfort. Its design is relaxed yet refined, with generous cushions that adapt to various compositions. Whether resting on a minimalist coal-grey metal base or an outlined perimeter frame, Homan blends fluidity with a sculptural presence.
Every element of Homan speaks to Desiree’s belief in lived-in beauty—where softness embraces structure and form becomes an extension of lifestyle.
Kublo – The new icon of adaptable luxury
Also from Thun & Rodriguez, Kublo is a family of coffee tables that shift seamlessly between indoor elegance and outdoor resilience. For interiors, they appear in bold lacquered finishes—cashmere, ash, amaranth, and forest green—accentuating their curved geometry and expressive simplicity.
Outdoors, Kublo takes on a raw, elemental appeal with its eco-mortar surfaces in terracotta, lime, or clay brown. Despite their compact footprint, these tables make a statement through quiet strength and minimalist poise.
Tè – A gesture of welcome
Designed by Setsu & Shinobu Ito, the Tè armchair is a compact yet generous piece inspired by the Japanese word for “hands.” Its wide-angled backrest suggests a gesture of embrace, allowing the sitter to face any direction with ease.
The tactile richness of the upholstery, paired with a swivel base in matte black metal, makes Tè both a comforting presence and a design-forward choice—ideal for residential or hospitality settings alike.
Ciàcola – Sculpted sophistication for dining spaces
Architect Tobia Scarpa’s Ciàcola table is reintroduced in a striking new finish that elevates its modernist soul. A base in coal-grey stained ash wood supports a transparent, bevelled lead-colored glass top—anchored with visible fasteners in matching lacquered metal.
This edition of Ciàcola fuses Scarpa’s architectural precision with Desiree’s evolving material palette, delivering an understated centerpiece for contemporary dining environments.
Eben – Outdoor living, redefined
In its outdoor version, the Eben armchair by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez exemplifies how craftsmanship meets climate-conscious design. A frame in solid iroko wood is paired with a handwoven polyester rope backrest that gently curves to enclose the seat. The effect is both architectural and inviting—a chair that blurs the boundary between indoor intimacy and outdoor openness.
The optional cushion, made with eco-down filling and a water-repellent cover, completes the experience, offering all-season comfort with enduring elegance.
Shaping the future of living
Desiree’s 2025 presentation is not about showcasing quantity, but about refining quality. Through five distinct pieces—each sculptural, versatile, and thoughtfully made—the brand reveals a new layer of its design philosophy. It’s a story of tactility, tone, and timeless presence.
As Desiree moves into its next decade, the focus remains clear: to create spaces that feel as good as they look, shaped by emotion, detail, and enduring design.
