Brand Karl Lagerfeld is expanding into furniture and homeware, continuing the designer’s legacy with a new line that carries his name. Reports confirm the upcoming launch from the house behind the name, aiming to showcase at Milan’s Salone del Mobile. The collection is organized into four distinct lines, each drawn from Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved Parisian districts: Saint-Germain and Saint-Guillaume for living room and bedroom pieces, Quai Voltaire for kitchen furniture, and Rue de l’ Université for lighting. This quartet mirrors Lagerfeld’s lifelong fascination with interiors and his eye for cohesive, elegant living spaces.
According to Pier Paolo Righi, chief executive officer of Karl Lagerfeld, the furniture range grew from a personal moment in Lagerfeld’s studio. He recalled a dinner at the designer’s flat on St-Père Street, a tour of the apartment that revealed the meticulous thinking behind each item, and a desire to convey how the spaces could be outfitted with intention and style. The collection aims to translate that philosophy into practical, beautifully crafted pieces for contemporary homes.
Historically, Lagerfeld was known to acquire and trade full furniture catalogs as he furnished his own residences. He spoke frankly about the thrill of collecting and the hunt for interior items, balanced by a preference not to become a permanent curator of a museum-like environment. The new line continues this spirit, inviting people to curate living spaces that reflect taste, personality, and a respect for timeless design.
This initiative underscores Lagerfeld’s enduring influence on fashion and lifestyle design, extending his creative voice beyond clothing into the realm of home. It positions the brand as a bridge between couture sensibility and functional interiors, inviting individuals to explore how luxury and practicality can coexist in daily living.
