With a mission to improve human experience through the built environment, globally renowned architect and interior designer Lauren Rottet’s Rottet Collection features a variety of beautiful warm contemporary furnishings and accents. Her latest collaboration with Turri has made waves with a selection of elevated home office decor. Below, Rottet gives LUXE the highlights.
What inspired the collaboration?
It was born from a void in the marketplace. When searching for home office desks, we could never find anything that was the right size, material or aesthetic. Thus, we designed the James desk (right), an elegantly shaped leather-wrapped piece that incorporates a wood writing surface, a concealed leather drawer and wire management for a clean surface.
Why did you want to partner with Turri?
Turri is a true master of high-end Italian craftsmanship. Their century-long savoir-faire allows them to seamlessly combine premium materials—such as wood, marble, lacquer and leather—into a harmonious piece.
What is one favorite design?
The Coco chair, which has a lovely rounded solid walnut frame and an acrylic seat and back, is designed specifically for one to pause and question if they can even sit in it, since the seat is totally transparent. I believe that furniture should have an artful component. Like art, it should also last forever and be passed down for generations.
