Our favourite new pieces from Gucci Décor’s latest collection

In the late 1800s, a young Italian immigrant named Guccio Gucci worked as a liftboy in the exclusive Savoy Hotel in London. Guests would arrive with beautifully made bags, which inspired Gucci to return to his hometown of Florence – a city known for its exquisite craftsmanship – and open his own luggage company in 1921.

The company progressively expanded from luggage into handbags, eventually adding shoes and apparel into the mix. However, it was after Gucci opened a store in New York City in 1953 that business really took off – American celebrities like Jacqueline Kennedy and Princess Grace of Monaco were photographed wearing the brand, transforming its double-G logo into a luxurious status symbol. To this day Gucci is a top pick for celebrities walking the red carpet, with Alessandro Michele currently at its helm as creative director.

Since Michele took over four years ago, Gucci has continued to evolve. In 2017 Gucci Décor was debuted; a branch of the business that offers high-end furniture and decorative objects to customers both in-store and online. The latest Gucci Décor collection has a wide range of whimsical and wondrous pieces to turn even the most staid living room into a wild and creative space, with the luxe maximalism Michele is known for on full display. His favourite motifs from the natural world are embroidered on chairs and printed on plates – you can sit on an extravagant bee or tiger-cushioned chair, and store trinkets in an elaborate bowl printed with a languid cat.

The furniture and objects are fanciful and borderline outrageous – all of them would be right at home in the Los Angeles mansion of a bohemian A-lister. There are scented candles for $1,100, incense holders for $320 and trinket boxes for $915, as well as the items featured in this article.

The historic company has also well and truly entered the 21st century, with a new feature in their app that allows customers to see what Gucci Décor pieces would look like in their home. It’s an extraordinary offering from Italy’s biggest-selling brand – a fashion house that can make a sunglass chain a must-have item, spray Harry Styles with a gender-neutral fragrance, and sell you a trinket tray for a cool $1,025.
