FENDI Casa, on the occasion of Milano Design Week 2025, continues its journey to discover new stylistic balances and expressions - advancing the brand’s distinctive language and aesthetic philosophy. Rooted within the excellence of the Maison FENDI from which it derives, this year’s collection coincides with the celebration of its centenary.
The FENDI Casa 2025 collection is a refined blend of new ideas and pieces that have become iconic over time, reimagined through updated materials, colours, and finishes to create entirely new moods. A constantly evolving narrative, the collection responds to both contemporary and timeless aesthetic sensibilities, while embracing the unpredictability of trends. This conceptual fluidity is grounded in the brand’s strong stylistic coherence, allowing it to foresee the direction of contemporary design and to welcome new creative voices as companions in its ongoing journey.
The commitment to discovering and supporting young talents, strongly supported by Silvia Venturini Fendi, is reinforced through the involvement of British designer Lewis Kemmenoe, with whom the FENDI Maison collaborated in December 2024 at Design Miami/.
Lewis Kemmenoe curated the concept and window displays of the iconic FENDI Casa boutique in Piazza della Scala, where his pieces will be showcased. A narrative that is both material and poetic: the shapes Kemmenoe arranges on the panels defining the exhibition space evoke the artisanal techniques of tailoring and leather craftsmanship used in cutting materials, giving life to a metaphysical scenography that pays tribute to creativity and savoir-faire. The interior takes on a distinct duality: the side facing Via Manzoni is dominated by metallic materials, sensuality and overt luxury. The side overlooking Via Verdi is characterised by natural textures, more organic shapes, an interplay of hues and shades, and a refined and understated elegance. The result is a balance of contrasts: on the one hand, a sumptuous palette of greys and blacks; precise and clean volumes, while on the other, lighter coloured wood, bamboo, and soft lines.
Among the new items in the collection is the Later sofa, designed by Ceriani Szostak, whose name symbolically alludes to the “primum laterem”, while also playing on the English word “later” as a form of reference, suggesting a contrast between substance and spiritual levity. This modular seating system is inspired by the rationalist architectural masterpiece that houses FENDI’s Roman headquarters: a rigid, squared frame - in metal, leather, or fabric - encloses a seat that transforms the softness of an arch into a welcoming, comfortable embrace.
FENDI Cover, a sofa with softer and less sharp shapes, was designed by the FENDI Casa creative team (FF Design) with a silhouette in mind that can be dressed up or down: a sartorial concept that is a nod to changing clothes and accessories, perfect for both informal settings or more sophisticated occasions. Here, a wide range of fabrics, leathers, shades and details glorify the iconic codes of FENDI. The seat, made with a single layer of cushioning, is embellished with a leather strap bearing the FF logo; leather plays a key feature on the thickness of the cushions – with or without buttons - and on the underskirt. Last but not least, the choice of piping is yet another stylistic element, from the linear tone-on-tone option to the iconic Pequin spiral in a rich colour palette.
Another new item in the collection is the Twist chair, designed by Stefano Gallizioli, with a wood structure and available with or without armrests, upholstered in leather, or in a combination of leather and fabric. The armrest resembles the sinuous undulation of a ribbon, creating an elegant swirling effect.
An exclusive collaboration between FENDI Casa and British designer Lee Broom introduces the FENDI Idol chandelier, a sculptural piece that reinterprets the Maison’s iconic codes. Crafted from hammered glass elements with irregular surfaces, its silhouette - through a play of light and shadow - subtly recreates the FF logo.
The Efo coffee table designed by Peter Mabeo, who conceived a new FF logo with soft lines, inspired the conception of two new products: the Efo side table and the Efo cabinet. The side table is available in FENDI yellow ceramic, wood or a combination of both materials.
The Efo cabinet reflects the designer's signature style, with primitive, generous and rounded shapes in warm or dark wood; each of the two Fs become the handle of a door which, once closed, reassembles the FF logo through a rhythmic interplay of separation and reunion.
Alongside these new products, there are numerous additions to existing product lines: the Lunar coffee table by Jonas van Put has become a small range with the release of a dining table version and a bedside table; the Arches (atelier oï) table has been given new proportions and materials. A range of small tables has been launched based on the Blurred console, while side tables featuring the same belt buckle detail have been conceived based on the Soho (Toan Nguyen) sofa. From the iconic series of Peekasit (Controvento Collective) seating systems inspired by the famous Peekaboo bag, comes Peekasleep, a bed which can be combined with blankets made especially for it. The headboard of the bed in the Fun Fendi (atelier oï) range features a wider, more enveloping or taller design.
New materials and finishes enrich the collection, ranging from black and grey to glossy chrome: the Ford table top now has a metallic finish, and the Sigillo table features a new top in gradient glass. New finishes now embellish the Metropolis (atelier oï) coffee table, available in burnished bronze with an extra-clear glass top. The base of the Bottini side tables, originally made of stone or resin, is now also available in high-gloss polished metal.
In terms of complementary items, the FENDI Stitch (FFD) bicolour coffee tables are entirely covered in leather, embodying the finest craftsmanship that harks back to the tradition of saddlery. The design stands out for its sophisticated colour combinations and the use of “infilatura”, a weaving technique that enhances the placement of the material, highlighting the refinement of its details. The Two More (FFD) stools and ottomans feature exquisite leather workmanship, embellished with contrasting details, which can be customised to include a braided edge or micro-piping in leather.
The Selbit cabinet (Toan Nguyen) is presented in a new version featuring a sophisticated patchwork effect created by combining three types of wood in a masterly display of fine cabinet-making.
