During London Art Week 2024, Italian furniture brand Secolo and fine jewelery brand EÉRA came together to unveil a striking limited edition capsule collection, Through Chrome Reflections. The collaboration, which blurs the lines between furniture and jewelry-inspired aesthetics, drew in curious passersby who got a glimpse of this unexpected fusion of design.
Through the distinct lens of EÉRA, founded by Chiara Capitani and Romy Blanga, the collection reimagines three of Secolo’s iconic pieces: the Sibylia Armchair, Laghi Coffee Tables, and Laghi Mirrors. Drawing inspiration from the surreal, inflated works of Erwin Wurm and the futuristic visions of Hajime Sorayama, EÉRA breathed new life to these timeless designs. The bold, geometric lines and utilitarian hardware add an avant-garde edge, while the playful proportions and new chrome finish give the pieces a futuristic look that embodies distorted elegance.
Each piece – whether it is the inflated curves of the Sibylia Armchair, the reflective surfaces of the Laghi Mirrors, or the sculptural silhouettes of the Laghi Coffee Tables – captures the essence of both brands.
The exhibition, which took place in the heart of London, was set in a sleek, stripped-back setting, giving visitors a respite from the city’s busy streets. Perfectly timed during the bustling London Art Week and coinciding with Frieze Art Fair, Through Chrome Reflections captivated international visitors. Framed by large windows and staged against fuchsia carpeting, the chrome pieces stood out, beckoning onlookers inside.
This limited edition collaboration brought together Secolo’s mastery of materials and Italian craftsmanship and EÉRA’s distinct design expression. For those who missed the event, Through Chrome Reflections serves as a reminder of the possibilities that open up when two seemingly dissimilar industries collide to push the boundaries of artistic innovation, creating something truly new and exciting.
