Colville Highlights A Blooming Edition of Milan Design Week – WWD
Tue 7 Jun
MILAN – Under the sun-soaked early June sky, the much anticipated Salone del Mobile and Design Week are returning in full bloom this year, after a couple of pandemic-disrupted years. Expectations are high, especially as the event inaugurates a month-long roster of activities in the country, from Pitti Uomo to Milan Men’s Fashion Week.
For the first time, Colville will reveal its homeware offer at the Salone del Mobile design fair, and for the occasion the brand, founded by Molly Molloy and LucindaChambers, is presenting its largest collection yet. This will see the introduction of new objects, including the Double Decker vase inspired by industrial, corrugated tubing and crafted in collaboration with LagunaB, which already developed Colville’s signature spherical Bowling Vase, now offered in new colour blends. In addition, Colville teamed up with Italian metal worker Katia Messali on the Twisted Vase and Candlestick. whose scrunched shapes were initially created from paper sculptures by the brand’s team, before being turned into metal by hand and dipped in enamel in a range of candy colours. The brand will also introduce its first furniture pieces via three small side tables developed with Italian carpenter Federico Mazzolini, who has created all the company’s studio furniture since the brand’s launch. Eye-catching and flexible, the designs can be stacked and tweaked to be customized in usage and looks.
