Italian designer Lorenza Bozzoli’s pieces exude luxury, exploration, and storytelling. Her pieces designed for Ghidini1961 are no different. The MAMBO collection launched initially in 2024, with the incredibly successful MAMBO sofa and armchair, and now welcomes new additions.
MAMBO sofa, armchair and bed
Modular MAMBO sofa celebrates fluidity and articulateness of a namesake dance. The sinuous shape gives elegance to the sofa, mimicking the graceful movements of the Caribbean dancers. The MAMBO Armchair is deliberately oversized to make it more comfortable and more attractive, luring people to take a break. MAMBO bed follows the same vision, mimicking the movement of the popular Latin dance. The bed defines the space while simultaneously encouraging the visitors to relax and rest. The fiery red colour was also specifically selected to match the energy of the tropical land and the Creole dancer’s costumes.
CARDS side table
Though small in size, the CARDS side table will undoubtedly capture the attention of anyone who enters the room. The name is self-explanatory at first glance, as the structure resembles a table made of playing cards. But instead of cardboard and plastic, these massive cards are made of metal and wood or marble and metal, all seamlessly blending in to create a perfect, flawless design. Alongside two table models, the piece comes in three finishes (for the wooden variant) and a whopping 14 finishes (for the marble variant).
UFO bedside table
A central structure of the UFO bedside table extends into a four-spoke pedestal-like stand. The clean design is accompanied by functionality as the table features a small container that can be opened on both sides and used for storing small objects and devices such as books or iPads. The metallic grey finish of the table provides a futuristic appeal.
Bozzoli’s and Ghidini1961 long-term collaboration
Lorenza Bozzoli, who graduated from the Academy of Brera in Italy, started her career in New York. After gathering extensive experience in the US fashion industry, the designer returned to her hometown, Milan, where she expanded her interests to furniture design. Bozzoli has combined expertise in fashion, art, and design to create a distinctive, recognisable style. A combination of artistic abundance, chromatic curiosity, and sartorial spirit characterises her pieces, which tell stories, stir emotions, and turn the interior spaces into a personal stage. Ghidini1961 and Bozzoli have collaborated for years. Ghidini1961, the brand known for using fine materials to create highly detailed works with everlasting elegance, was founded in 2016 as a separate design-focused brand of the Ghidini Giuseppe Bosco architecture firm. Over time, the company has reached global acclaim for the unique blend of traditional skills and contemporary design.
