In conversation with Dana Tomic Hughes of Yellowtrace, Giusi Tacchini enlightened guests about the Italian brand’s latest home collection ‘Life and Other Stories’, she spoke about the philosophy behind the Tacchini brand, and how strongly she values the relationship with each designer Tacchini engages with.

“Each project is the meeting point between experience and research, devotion and emotion, then enriched by passing time in the places where we live, where each of us interacts with our own experiences, in an ongoing relay between present and memory”.
Giusi Tacchini, CEO & Art Director

The newest collection is comprised of a catalogue of reissued design classics such as Le Mura sofa designed by Mario Bellini in 1972, the Sesann lounge by Gianfranco Frattini in 1970, and Pigreco chair by Tobia Scarpa in 1959, plus contemporary designs by David/Nicolas, Studiopepe and more. Available exclusively from Stylecraft in Australia, the Life & Other Stories collection were showcased during the events held at Beta in Sydney and the Immigration Museum Long Room in Melbourne.

In celebrating each of the pieces in this collection Giusi expressed her measure of a successful product by the strength of the relationship she builds with each designer, rather than the quantity sold.

“Interiors, as the combination of architecture and design, represent the most important chapters of designing: it is the moment to explore the essence of things and human being feelings. It is the way to shape a tailor-made layout for each spaces, with colours, finishes and materials backgrounds and furnishings. Home is the stage where everyday life acts.”
