Lorenzo Tondelli Collection have brought on stage six ambiences, retracing the history of the brand and integrating the first bestsellers mixed with the latest Hyperborea series.
The tour begins with Umami: the 100% customisable kitchen produced by Lorenzo Tondelli in every detail, from the cabinets to the handles and hinges, from the drawers storing cutlery and plates to the wine cellar for preserving refined wines. The leathers are stain and water-repellent and every aspect from aesthetics to the layout can be customised step by step with the customer.
We then proceed to the TV area. The screen is installed on the Argema console. Guests can sit comfortably on the curved Hula Hoop sofa upholstered in silk velvet, on the iconic Dune or on the Ulla rotating armchair.
The display continues with the living room dedicated to Kela: a family of bestselling seats consisting of sofa, chaise longue and armchair.
The scene is illuminated by the Carapace lamp, featuring a cast bronze reproduction of a tortoise shell. Next to the sofa the Ebe glass lamp stands with its sculptural dome.
The reading area is characterised by red silk boiserie and hosts a setting of pieces from the Hyperborea series including the Levare coffee table, the linear Hula Hoop sofa accompanied by its pouf, the Aura lamp that reproduces a chiaroscuro effect on the walls reminiscent of the aurora borealis. The specular bookcases, Alda, hold precious volumes.
In the study-office area we find the Pico desk, upholstered entirely in leather with legs in bronze in silver finishing. The top is equipped with a convenient socket compartment. A leather-upholstered drawer completes the desk. The chairs in the setting are Maua upholstered in orange leather in the version with and without armrests.
The conversation area is centred on the Nirmal sofa, here arranged in a corner version and equipped with a chaise longue and customised engraved bronze armrest. Nirmal is a modular sofa: the customer can compose the desired arrangement to suit the space.
"On the occasion of Design Week - explains brand CEO Lorenzo Tondelli - our aim was to allow visitors to immerse themselves and walk through the history of our Collection.
The idea was to show how our bestsellers created in the early years of the Collection and the ultimate Hyperborea series have a timeless taste and can be combined together in a fluid and elegant way.
One of our strengths is the work that has been done over the years to give aesthetic continuity to the products, eschewing passing fashions, and designing furniture that lasts in terms of quality and taste.”

Lorenzo Tondelli Collection is pleased to announce the release of the new Hyperborea series. A family of furniture, containers, seating, objects and lighting with a common philosophy: elegant and refined sobriety, high technology combined with the excellence of the finest Italian craftsmanship, clean lines and a contemporary touch.
The name Hyperborea draws its inspiration from legendary territories where the terrestrial and celestial met, sparking the beginning of civilization. As was the first home of Apollo, so those territories were blessed with days of endless light and an eternal spring. The series recalls the spirit of such mythic places, featuring both eastern and nordic undertones. The elements seem to come from a midway land where indoor and outdoor landscapes overlap, creating dynamism and intimacy through a silent yet engaging dialogue with the inhabitants. They couple magnificent minimalism with the in-depth technical know-how of how things work. Each piece comes with an unerring sense of measure and proportion. Each piece knows how to live and breathe in urban extensions. In its dedicated space, it finds meaning and prominence — a perfect joy.
The series is composed of completely unseen pieces such as the Dune armchair, the Drop and Levare low tables, and the Aura lamp, as well as reinterpreted and innovative Lorenzo Tondelli bestselling classics. The limited edition Atlante cabinet, a finalist in the Product Design category at the SBID Awards 2021, is also part of the selection.
Dune’s strangely beautiful silhouette looks straight to a sci-fi visual narrative. Its sleek, untouched curves interplay like sandy waves to recall fantasies of moonlit trips to a dream planet we might call “home”. Dune Armchair has ultra ergonomic lines and a cleanest design ensured by almost non-existent seams. The armchair belongs to a series that acknowledges material matching: customize it with leathers in different colours or combine leather with wood or metal.
Aura is all about soft magnetism finding freedom through a cage. The wall becomes the sky as light leaks, spreading symmetrically across it, catching the eye through a sought-after movement of shades. Aura Lamp celebrates the utmost pleasure of skywatching: it conveys the aesthetic of northern lights through a stern yet appealing reproduction of an ancient Chinese cricket cage. Filtering the light through a unique screen surrounded by tiny bars, it reverberates an alluring game of shadows in the room.
Drop captures stillness and change at the same time. There’s a quiet, flat pond, and then some tiny raindrops falling: the exact moment when they become water happens and freezes right before us. Drop has a fluid identity lying in its shapes and attitude. It has a unifying presence, with its flat and large plateau creating harmonious combinations with different pieces from the collection.
Levare was born to be as necessary and daily as the flavor of salt. And yet, it’s shaped and named after Michelangelo’s sculptural manner of taking away, instead of adding, to reach the peak of essential artfulness. Levare is a leather and metal low table with a soothing feel deriving from its blatant efficiency and plain essentiality. Geometries and volumes are subtracted, reduced to a minimum — just enough to serve intelligently, clearing the space for anything else.
