New In: Greenkiss

Stories Editor's Pick New In: Greenkiss

Thierry Lemaire, Hubert de Malherbe and Paolo Castelli join forces to make the world more beautiful and greener with their debut furniture collection Green Kiss

Here comes the new bromance people are talking about in the world of interior design: Thierry Lemaire, Hubert de Malherbe e Paolo Castelli joined forces to create Greenkiss, a gorgeous furniture collection entirely eco-friendly.  

For those who wonder where the title comes from, the three men answer with one voice: “We called it Green because unlike other sectors, the furniture industry is still rather behind in terms of actions for the environment; and Kiss because environmental activists tend to be doomsayers, this is why we chose a name that is positive and uncomplicated, inviting all of us to take action.” Furthermore, they want to celebrate the value and charm of “ethical design”, which they see as a resource, the driving force behind a renewed sense of positivity and empathy towards the environment.   

From sleek dining tables to sculptural sofas & armchairs, and striking lamps, Greenkiss is a loving tribute to the unmistakable aesthetic of the seventies. Furthermore, it’s a true collaboration among three strong personalities who enjoyed working together on such an innovative project. 

The collection’s primary focus are materials, selected for their high quality and sustainability. Everything is either reclaimed, repurposed, or ethically produced and responsibly sourced. Made of fast-growing certified wood, recycled glass, reclaimed stone, natural fabrics and sustainable ceramic, this collection sets new standards by showing that luxe and sustainability are not mutually exclusive.  

Merging their distinctive aesthetic into a unified style, the three designers played with proportions, geometrical shapes, and graphic details. Highlights include the ultra-comfortable Coral Sofa, the plush, oversized Vao Armchair and the sleek Gio Chair, in reclaimed solid ash. Covetable lighting fixtures, coffee tables and a striking consoles complete the offering.  Produced in Italy by skilled artisans, in Paolo Castelli’s renowned workshops, the collection is defined by natural color palettes and layered textures conjuring a feel of refined beauty.

Paolo Castelli

The Greenkiss collection is the product of a collaboration between Paolo Castelli, Hubert de Malherbe and Thierry Lemaire. The passion for design has been running in Paolo Castelli’s family since the 1880s, when the great-grandfather opened a small cabinetry workshop in Bologna. Much has changed in almost 150 years; however, the Castelli brand has stayed true to Italian traditional know-how and superior craftsmanship creating a variety of furniture pieces that stand the test of time. With Paolo Castelli at the helm the company has grown into an international brand encompassing most sectors of the design industry, including capsule furniture collections and complex building construction projects.
