Наши любимые предметы из элегантной коллекции Zara Home режиссера Луки Гуаданьино и архитектора Стефано Байзи
Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino and architect Stefano Baisi have spent nearly a decade creating worlds together. Since Guadagnino tapped Baisi to lead his interior architecture firm, Studio Luca Guadagnino, in 2017, the two have brought the Louvre’s iconic pyramid to a Dior catwalk in the Jardin des Tuileries; created a dreamy, surrealist version of 1950s-era Mexico City (for the 2024 film Queer); and transformed a 16th century school building into a luxury boutique hotel—to name a few. Their newest collaboration is an expansive collection for Zara Home, which comprises more than 200 pieces of furniture and decor, plus a ready-to-wear clothing line.
Guadagnino says that his and Baisi’s collaborative process for this project started by laying their many sources of inspiration—“images saved on our phones, works of art, artists, intellectuals”—out on the table (literally, we imagine). “From these references came deeper research that gradually guided us and gave coherence to the whole project,” he says.

While you can see the influence of French Art Deco, Brazilian modernism, and Italian radical design, as AD previously reported, the pair was particularly drawn to designs from the Vienna Secession. “\[A small silver and coral box [from this period](https://lanamshop.com/products/wiener-silber-manufactur-sterling-silver-sugar-box-with-coral-by-koloman-moser?srsltid=AU7gw4XCU8OLheM8a8EmL5H3D4lJVmOi8fuxo1PW67M2nmTHAcnxGhvb)\] designed by Koloman Moser had a particularly strong impact on the development of the collection,” says Guadagnino.
The result is a true meeting of the minds. “Through working together we found a shared stylistic code that is rooted in tradition while trying to find its own identity,” says Baisi.

Their vision manifests as a highly polished collection—the pieces are sharp, angular, and hard, just like impeccable tailoring—that Guadagnino describes as “a constellation of objects, rooms, parallel worlds.” Stainless steel chairs and oak coffee tables with high-gloss lacquered tops are slick and cool and the Elsewhere table lamp, with its thin, arching steel neck and triangular shade, feels practically space-age. Even the upholstered pieces have great posture: The scallop-backed Bretonita sofa, in hunter-green flannel with burgundy cord piping, looks stately and sturdy; the Uncollected sofa sits lower and longer, with a dramatic black velvet cushion and sycamore base.
The octagonal dinnerware takes notes from Vienna Secessionism.
“What is exciting about this project is that the same object can now enter very different homes and become part of completely different lives,” says Baisi. “In a way, the collection can exist across many parallel worlds at the same time.”
To celebrate the launch, Guadagnino directed a short film written by Scott Z. Burns, starring Jamie Bell, Chase Sui Wonders, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Patricia Arquette. With Baisi’s set design, of course. The collection will also be presented at a two-day public pop-up at La Pelota in Milan on September 26 and 27, during Milan Fashion Week.
Pieces range from $16.90 to $18,400 and are available starting September 26 at zarahome.com.
