Divinity-inspired furniture line, 'Vesta' by Turri, promises a touch of celestial elegance
New and Improved: 💥🔥 Made with 🇮🇹 Turri 🔥💥
Rome's legendary goddess of home and hearth, Vesta, has struck a spark of inspiration in Italian furniture mavens Turri. This fiery fusion is now manifested in their 'Vesta' line, igniting not only your living space but your cozy soul. From an intimate armchair to a soothing three-seater sofa, and a scorching coffee table, Vesta's collection blazes with comfort and luxury.
Design dynamo Francesca Lanzavecchia conceptualized this collection to mark Turri's centennial. Since launching in Brianza in 1925 and burning bright for a century with their unwavering commitment to excellence, Turri entrusted this visionary to bring a fresh perspective to their iconic craftsmanship. The ingenious amalgam of bold volumes and meticulous details testifies to a warm embrace of ease. To infuse meaning and emotion, Lanzavecchia - a fervent "industrial poet" - considered wellness, poetry, architecture, and fashion.

🌐🔍 Our Obsession: Give us the lowdown on the delectable design inspiration for the Vesta collection, drawing from the ancient symbolism of the Roman goddess Vesta.
👩🎨💡 Francesca Lanzavecchia: Vesta, the guardian of fire, carries a powerful yet intimate aura that resonates perfectly with the core of furniture. Her essence embodies warmth, safety, and everyday rituals, gracefully translating into the Vesta sofa. The piece features a massive, almost architectural shell that evokes the enduring strength of a home. Dive inside, and you'll discover a warm, inviting sanctuary. That intentional contrast of fortress and cloud is no accident, representing the balance between haven and softness found in Turri's designs.
🤔🌱 Designing and cultivating the Vesta collection has entailed diving into wellness. Cast some light on how research findings from this voyage were incorporated into the design.
👩🎨💡 FL: We scrutinized wellness across body support, emotional connections, and sensory appeals. Satisfaction was found in generous, encompassing contours and voluptuous cushioning that nurture a sense of relaxation. Delightful harmony came through the use of natural materials like oak, soft wool textiles, and smoothest fused glass, reminiscent of a still pond. Each touch feels honest and invigorating, subtly nourishing your wellbeing.
⃣🤝 Tell us more about Turri and your collaboration on this landmark, centennial year project.
👩🎨💡 FL: Turri symbolizes a century of Italian artwork and craftsmanship. In their hour of transformation, they yearned to explore new creative languages, seeking refinement, relevance, and unwavering tradition. Our meeting occurred in the twilight zone between the old and the new. Turri cast their trust in me to deliver fresh perspectives, and I reciprocated their reverence for the art of creation. It was a profoundly symbiotic dialogue.
🤳🏽👀 While designing, what were the key influences and reference points you pulled from?
👩🎨💡 FL: Fashion was pivotal, and its ethos of quiet opulence was my guiding force. I closely studied the subtle ways tailoring uses stitching and cuts to express personality and how clothing can become a structural marvel. I pondered how texture interplays with form and material. My intent was to create pieces that feel composed yet never cold; welcoming, comforting spaces to retreat.
🏠💫 In which particular rooms and spaces do you imagine the Vesta collection thriving best?
👩🎨💡 FL: The Vesta collection fits flawlessly into refined abodes, such as a New York penthouse, a futuristic villa in Dubai, or picturesque Lake Como palazzos. Keep the collection in sophisticated living areas or lounges; spaces where loved ones gather and recharge. The symphony of materials, cushioned upholstery, walnut wood, and translucent glass forms a harmonious atmosphere. The forms are sculptural yet soothing, injecting warmth and subtle presence into both contemporary and classic decors.
🔥✍️ You often discuss 'poetry' in design. Explain the role of this term in your work.
👩🎨💡 FL: Poetry transcends everyday life, providing space for depth, nuance, and a magical touch. I attach the term "industrial poetry" to my designs because I forge art within industrial systems but with a highly sensitive approach. Even practical objects like the Vesta coffee table reflect this ethos. Its base boasts a stunning, almost meditative arrangement of polished lacquer and walnut, while the smooth glass top shimmers like a distant cosmos. This breathtaking piece anchors the room and evokes a moment of stillness. That's where the magic happens.
The 'Vesta' collection, inspired by Rome's goddess of home and hearth, embodies an interior-design philosophy that intertwines lifestyle and home-and-garden. This collection, a centennial project with Turri, aims to ignite not only your living space but your cozy soul, with pieces such as the Vesta sofa that offers comfort and luxury.
Drawing from the symbolism of Vesta, the goddess of fire, Francesca Lanzavecchia sought to infuse the 'Vesta' collection with warmth, safety, and everyday rituals, celebrating a harmonious blend of grand architectural forms and intimate, inviting spaces, reflective of both wellness and contemporary lifestyle.
