Greenkiss is a new 100% Made in Italy brand launched at Maison & Objet 2020, in Paris from 17 to 21 January. Three outstanding designers created new furniture collections able to express an innovative, more minimal and sustainable, luxury concept. Hubert de Malherbe has designed many retail and hospitality spaces; Thierry Lemaire is an architect and a designer: and Paolo Castelli is the creative director and CEO of the namesake Bologna-based company.

Created by three designers, the collection that identifies with the new brand consists of tables, armchairs, chairs and lighting fixtures inspired by Italian and French design of the ’50s and ’70s. An ethical and controlled supply chain enables a more sustainable production, relying on regenerated or reclaimed materials, of certified origin, and ‘greener’ processing techniques.

Greenkiss: sustainable made in Italy products

Attention to detail and artisanal techniques generate products in perfect balance between tradition and innovation. The values of made in Italy are thus reinterpreted from a green, sustainable point of view.
