INTERIOR & DÉCOR, but with a twist

A Geometry of Emotion in Dainelli Studio Atelier Collection

dainelli-studio-atelier_cover.jpg

Dainelli Studio, founded by Leonardo and Marzia Dainelli, is a refined expression of architecture and design where product and interior meet in perfect harmony. With a background deeply rooted in cultural awareness and a strong command of both artisanal and industrial techniques, the studio creates spaces and objects that speak a distinct language of proportion, balance, and elegance. Their design philosophy is in constant motion – never fixed, always seeking – resulting in creations that resonate with a timeless aesthetic while responding to the individuality of each project. Whether crafting bespoke pieces or conceiving entire environments, Dainelli Studio seamlessly unites form, material, and context.

The 2025 Atelier Collection marks a new chapter for Dainelli Studio – a curated ensemble born from the growing ambition to engage with a more selective, sophisticated clientele. This is a collection designed not for the mainstream, but for those who see design as a personal language; individuals who value uniqueness over ubiquity, and who gravitate toward a nonconventional, highly curated lifestyle. These are self-referential pieces, unapologetic in their presence, created for those who recognise themselves in a style that dares to look beyond the expected.

Rooted in inspiration drawn from the 1920s and 1930s, the collection reimagines the playful irreverence and sculptural rigour of those decades. Clean lines and bold angles evoke the spirit of early modernist design while speaking clearly to a contemporary audience. Here, Dainelli Studio builds a bridge between past and present—a sophisticated exchange between vintage references and modern execution. The visual language is both architectural and expressive, with each piece forming part of a larger narrative grounded in balance, elegance, and deliberate contrast.

Materials take centre stage, not as embellishment, but as protagonists. The collection celebrates the natural richness of Italian tradition, bringing together Tuscan marbles and stones with exotic woods and rare essences from around the world. This blend of the local and the global reflects the studio’s nuanced vision: a collection that is at once geographically rooted and culturally expansive. Each material has been carefully chosen to reflect the dual spirit of the collection—its reverence for tradition and its embrace of global influence. The result is a tactile and visual richness that underscores the transversal and multifaceted nature of the 2025 offering.

It is within this context that Neo Déco is born—an aesthetic and philosophical evolution that draws upon the elegance of Art Deco while stripping it of ornamentation and nostalgia. What emerges is a new decorative language, refined and essential, timeless yet uncompromising. The Atelier Collection becomes the expression of this vision: pieces defined by their structural clarity and quiet confidence, designed to inhabit both classical and contemporary environments with equal ease.

The Collection presents a curated constellation of pieces where narrative, material, and form converge in striking harmony. Each product tells a story – never ornamental, always intentional. The Paolina dining chair is not merely a seat, but a bold gesture of identity. With regal proportions and sculptural presence, it recalls the elegance of imperial lineage, standing as a domestic monument that challenges the logic of functional minimalism. In contrast, the Caranna modular sofa celebrates versatility and quiet luxury, drawing inspiration from the coastal charm of Forte dei Marmi. Its reconfigurable elements, including a sculptural bolster, echo a refined past while addressing contemporary living needs.

The Venezia and Bali armchairs reinterpret place and memory – Venezia channels the poetic curves of Venetian gondolas, while Bali blends Eastern architectural purity with modern ease. Meanwhile, the Carlotta dining chair distils the concept of archetype, where an open-back detail becomes both poetic and practical. Dining tables like Versilia and Ettore ground the collection with their tactile elegance and structural purity, referencing nautical craftsmanship and the graphic dynamism of Sottsass. Coffee and side tables such as Portico, Carlo, Cipì, Calmapiatta, Pigreco, and Torre push the boundaries between object and artwork, evoking references from metaphysical painting to classical architecture.

Consoles like Sahara and Portante reinterpret brass and architectural structure into sculptural supports for daily rituals, while the Sipario bar cabinet surprises and delights like a theatre scene yet to unfold. The reflective compositions of Dedalo mirrors fragment and reassemble perspective, while the sculptural works Frank, Wally, and Totem embody Dainelli Studio’s deeper exploration of form, identity, and legacy. Together, these pieces form a collection that is both aesthetically rigorous and emotionally resonant – an evolving dialogue between the elegance of history and the demands of the present.
