With life changing rapidly for many of us the focus has placed the spotlight firmly on our homes and our living areas. During these times of restriction, it’s the perfect opportunity to re-design your living areas and add real luxury and comfort with genuine artisan handbuilt and handcrafted furniture from Sulfaro.

The Sulfaro Collection offers an exciting selection of both classically and traditionally designed lounge suites, sofas and armchairs as well as a stunning range of modern and contemporary designed fine furniture in the latest trending fabrics, styles and colours.

Now is the right time to assess what it is you really wish to achieve with a re-invigorated floor plan and interior design for your home.  The recent census surprised many people when they realised just how much time they currently spend in their homes. It has really inspired many of us to consider the comfort levels and the overall floor plan of our homes given the amount of time we now spend ‘at home’. 

Where to start? That’s a good question. There are some non-negotiables and flow is one of them. Your furniture selection should allow for ease of movement and simple comfort for everyone in your household. 

Perhaps your current furniture is the same furniture you had at your previous home. For some who have moved into a larger home it’s time to select furniture that matches your new home’s proportions  – larger sofas, coffee tables, armchairs and accessories that lend comfort and a relaxing luxury to your new lifestyle. 

For others it’s been a downsize into an apartment, a townhouse or a unit. Classic furniture that was perfect for your large, suburban home simply does not flow in the new apartment setting you have moved into. It’s time to consider low profile, contemporary sofas and armchairs, ottomans and modern accessories such as lamps, rugs and credenzas and other beautiful items to profile your new living area and situation, adding comfort and a true feeling of luxury. 

Candidly it’s not a task that everyone embraces with enthusiasm. Interior design from basic floor plan layouts to colour schemes, fabric selection and then proportionately choosing furniture design that harmonises with the overall look and feel of your chosen interior decoration is a task that requires vision, creativity, expertise and experience. And unfortunately not everyone can afford to engage a qualified Interior Designer either. 

Interior Design Service

At Sulfaro we offer a full Interior Design Service to all our clients and customers who purchase furniture from our Collection. Our Design Team led by Amelia Sulfaro will guide you through the process. First, initially selecting the sofa you prefer, adding the customisation you prefer – buttoning, skirting, piping, studding, cushioning, timber finishing – the choice is yours. Then add matching armchairs to your sofa selection or a more unique occasional chair selection.

It’s then your Sulfaro experience begins. Select a complementary dining setting with hand crafted sturdy dining chairs, choose the side tables, buffet, credenzas and coffee tables you desire. Select Object des’ arts, statuettes and ornaments that complete your vision.

Article from Best Interior Designs – interview with top Italian Designer Carlo Donati, April 23, 2020.

 The Carlo Donati Studio’s work is mostly focused on different types of interior design projects that highlight the power of fine craftsmanship techniques. Surrounded with one of the world’s best craftsmanship culture, this brand-new furniture collection with Essential Home was the perfect opportunity to combine two of his many passions: craftsmanship and a modern approach of the mid-century style.

Whether it is residential design, villa or even commercial projects the Italian design studio has become one of the most renowned experts not only in Italy but also worldwide.  It’s founder, Carlo Donati was born in Zibello (Parma) in 1965 and studied architecture at the Politecnico of Milan where he graduated in 1992. Passionate about the world of design and all of its creative possibilities, Carlo has featured a strong aesthetic and sense of beauty from a young age. “Memories of details in my friends’ houses or in hotels during family vacations have monopolized my imagination since early childhood. Since then, beauty to me represented a matter of proportions, colours and details”, he explained.

During his twenties, the Italian designer started working for historic architectural firms in Milan, such as Studio BBPR and Gregotti. A few years later, in 1995, Carlo Donati moved to New York to be the consultant architect of one of the most famous luxury design groups in the world, also known as Versace. “Though his style was different from mine and rather decorative, I found his creativity and taste for colours very inspiring.” During that time, the Italian interior designer was challenged with the renovation of Gianni Versace’s townhouse and the historic Vanderbilt Mansion, the main flagship store on Fifth Avenue.

After working as a consultant for Gianni Versace, the Italian firm worked on the image or other distinguished brands, like Aldo Coppola, Liberty of London, Linea più- A2A, Stybiella and Colefax & Fowler. Currently, the Studio Donati is the responsibility of the artistic direction of the Slowear fashion brand and they are developing the new retail concept and design of several stores and showrooms not only across Italy but also worldwide.

In 1996, Donati decided to create not only his own firm “Carlo Donati Studio”, but also the “Farnese Contract” with Adriano Donati and Massimo Avanzini, that operates as a general contractor, working with the most successful design studios. “In every project, I design custom made furniture, both for residential or retail projects because I believe that each work requires special attention to furniture details”, explained the Italian designer.

With a peculiar contemporary signature style that features deep roots in the past, Donati loves to search for inspiration in the architectural landmarks and Italian design references of the post-war modernism (like  Gio Ponti, Osvaldo Borsani, Franco Albini), as well as the magic abstract scenography by Bob Wilson, the interiors in Stanley Kubrick’s or Quentin Tarantino’s movies. In the world where the guidelines are timeless elegance and strong character, the designer likes “to contaminate the design with details which can be both precious or low-cost budget but always elegant and peculiar creating unexpected contrast.” His most recent inspirations were the famous Korean movie called “Parasite” by Bong Joon-ho that won the 2020 Oscar.

In every design project, no matter the style (contemporary, mid-century or modern), Carlo Donati’s minimalist approach is always contaminated by chromatic and graphic suggestions inspired by the theme chosen in the planning process. “If I think about all the projects we did, the best results always came from synergy and a strong feeling with the client. This friction can be a source of creativity and can bring us to better solutions”, said the interior designer.

Obsessed with perfection and attention to every detail, the Italian designer loves to use both artificial and natural light to emphasize volumes and perspectives of his design project.The Italian design studio is currently working on a new residential building with luxury apartments and utilities in Milandowntown. “I believe it’s important to be very updated on the actual trends of the industry but at the same time to be able to work on different tracks out of the mainstream in order to anticipate new trends, be original and try in our little field to be some kind of disruptive”, enlightened Carlo Donati. His constant research for new material solutions and the attention for the chromatic palette is what makes his design projects so exclusive.
