The auction of Karl Lagerfeld’s estate last year contained enough furniture to fill a museum. Reflecting the late designer’s passion for interior design, the brand he founded is launching a namesake furniture line and homewares range.
“He hosted a lunch for me at his apartment on Rue des Saints-Pères and I remember very vividly — of course, as one would, meeting him for the very first time — that he took a lot of time leading me through his whole apartment and explaining, very much in detail, everything he had in mind and thought when he was furnishing the apartment,” Righi tells WWD.
A compulsive collector, Lagerfeld bought and sold entire catalogues of furniture as he cycled through eras with his interior designs for various residences. He was capable of switching from the sort of gilded 18th-century splendor usually found at the Palace of Versailles to an apartment so stark, he compared it to a spaceship.
One constant was his love for the Bauhaus and Art Deco design movements, and his attachment to Hamburg, Germany, his birthplace, and Paris, his adopted home.Those elements were the foundation for the Karl Lagerfeld Maison collection, created in collaboration with Matteo Nunziati, known for his interior designs for luxury hotels and residential projects in destinations including Italy, the Middle East and the U.S.
The furniture groups are named after Lagerfeld’s favorite neighborhoods in Paris. The Saint-Germain living room set includes a sofa upholstered in ivory bouclé fabric that doubles as a small library, with sides that include built-in shelves — a nod to the designer’s personal collection of more than 300,000 volumes.
