Natuzzi Italia presents at the Milan Design Week 2025 its new collection "Rooted in Harmony", marking another step in the brand's evolutionary journey. Starting from its roots—the symbolic identity and concept of the collection—through its values and DNA, the collection embodies a deep connection to the brand's origins.

Rooted in Harmony is an invitation, visually represented by the symbol of the "root" to be presented during the week, to go back to the roots and find the essence of the brand: a constant search for beauty in its timeless forms. The root symbolizes the history of the brand and its deep connection to Puglia, where it all began 66 years ago.

The brand presents itself at this major event more mature in terms of style and merchandising strategy. The new 2025 collection reaffirms Natuzzi Italia’s position as a lifestyle and interior design brand. The showroom on Via Durini will provide the backdrop for the new chapter of The Circle of Harmony—Rooted in Harmony, the stylistic exploration project that began in 2020 with the aim of creating a physical and virtual community where artists, architects, and designers design and imagine the stylistic evolution of Natuzzi Italia, with its heritage as the cornerstone of this journey.

The new collection marks the return of successful collaborations with Andrea Steidl, Karim Rashid, Marcantonio, and Mauro Lipparini. Furthermore, thanks to the talent of the Natuzzi design center, a new project for the Comfortness collection will be presented, introducing innovative products designed for an evolved vision of comfort, a fundamental element of the brand's DNA—one that extends to wellness, going beyond mere physical sensation toward the balance of body and mind. The collection will also be enriched with new proposals for tables, rugs, and lamps.

After the success of the Mirai project, designed by Andrea Steidl for Natuzzi Italia in 2024, which won prestigious design awards such as the European Product Design Award, Good Design Award, Elle Deco China - Best of 2024, and Archiproducts Design Award, Steidl is back with Amama. This is a modular sofa designed to redefine the concept of conviviality and versatility, offering island configurations with bifacial options for a modern and unusual living experience. Hence, the evocative palindromic name, Amama.

"I reflected not only on the formal value of the project but also on its use." Said Andrea Steidl. "Through the dialogue between something soft and comfortable and contrasting solid and architectural elements, I imagined a space where you could read a book or have a drink comfortably seated, in a convivial moment. A solution that strengthens the characteristics of a 360-degree home, an open living space that develops in multiple directions, offering its inhabitants a freer and more versatile experience."

From the analysis of architecture and ways of living comes a new approach to design, where armrests and backrests transform into multifunctional elements: support surfaces, shelves, tables, or containers. The idea is to expand space with cantilevered structures, creating a fluid dialogue between the softness of the seat and the solidity of a piece of furniture in perfect continuity. It is a balance between contrast and harmony, where aesthetics and functionality merge.

A dynamic project, then, where multiple elements of different consistencies and materials coexist in a play of superimpositions and geometries, opening up to multidirectionality and multifunctionality, combining the sense of comfort with the freedom of composition and use. A new approach to living that blends aesthetics, flexibility, and functionality, extending to living and dining elements of the same collection.

Amama is also a project designed for the Contract sector, on which Natuzzi Italia is focusing with extraordinary determination. A significant example is the recent launch of the Natuzzi Harmony Residences in Dubai, a 10,000 square meter complex with 50 units spread over 9 floors, where the brand took care of every aspect of architectural and creative design, from interiors to exteriors. This is an important milestone in Natuzzi's journey, where it fully expressed its vision of lifestyle and harmonious living—a concept that will also be showcased at the flagship store in Milan on Via Durini during Milan Design Week.
