In our Design Pick column, where we feature the standout home pieces that caught our eye this month, we’re turning the spotlight to one truly brilliant armchair.

Although we are familiar with the cycles of trends and know that fashion always comes back, I am not sure there has ever been more talk about the return of the seventies in interior design. Over the past two years the exciting soft velvet spirit of the seventies has felt as if it never left, even though their peak was about fifty years ago. That is the real beauty of trends. They arrive like a time capsule that takes you exactly where you want to be.
Conversation pits, frameless sofas, soft minimalism and home bars are all elements that take us back to the seventies in the most elegant ways. To this list we can add a furniture collection by Giorgetti that is ready to enter the market this year as a gem that instantly turns interiors in 2025 into a unique seventies sanctuary.

Maximum quality, aesthetic innovation and craftsmanship have defined the well known Italian brand on the global market ever since it was founded in 1898 in Meda. None of that has changed to this day. Its character driven furniture has gained a signature of exclusivity and unconventional design over the years, thanks to timeless pieces and collections created for entire interiors. In 2018 the brand announced the acquisition of Battaglia, another Italian expert in outfitting hotels, yachts and fashion stores. The story has since evolved into a fully realised vision of furniture for high profile clients and the horizons of new markets have opened naturally. What Giorgetti has remained true to is the Made in Italy label and exceptional craftsmanship.

The new Lorelei collection includes a unique sofa and armchairs in which the production excellence of Giorgetti meets the advanced engineering of Maserati in an exclusive collection that celebrates the Made in Italy moment, the company states, adding the key message behind its design. Noble materials, custom made details and bold forms create a new way of living and traveling, where elegance and innovation come together in perfect harmony.
Elegance is combined with a sporty character to create a unique immersive design. The sofa and lounge armchairs have a sculptural shell like form that evokes the seats of a sports car, offering a different kind of seating experience. As for the materials, they include a mix of high quality leather, fabrics, flexible wood and lacquered shells. One of the versions features two fully leather clad armchairs with inserts made from the same material, meaning the interior is covered in soft leather while the exterior comes as a lacquered shell that gives it a sporty automotive look. The entire collection is also customizable. Materials, finishes and configurations can be selected according to preference. The visually refined surfaces reflect light, giving the space a more sophisticated and dynamic feel, while contrasts in the texture of the fabric or leather on the inside add another layer of depth.
Elegant minimalism combined with a sporty character creates a sense of a sophisticated interior that still pulses with energy. Any space that incorporates pieces from the Lorelei collection gains a distinct identity that suits those who want furniture to be more than functional. They want it to be an expressive piece that tells a story. I see it working best as a central element. A sofa or an armchair can serve as a hero piece around which the space is built. Other elements can remain more neutral so they do not pull the focus away from Lorelei. If the space already has warmer tones, you can choose leather in darker shades. For modern, lighter interiors, lacquered shells in white or soft tones provide a striking contrast.
In any case, the seventies aesthetic is very much present and blends beautifully into contemporary interiors. It seems it is not going anywhere any time soon.
