HERCULANEUM

HOMEWARE COLLECTION 2021

THE COLLECTION FEATURES A RANGE OF INTERIOR DECOR PIECES FOR THE TABLE, LOUNGING, AND WALLS, EVOKING THE SUN-DRENCHED ALLURE OF THE ITALIAN RIVIERA AND THE KITSCH-INFUSED INTERIORS OF '70S PALM BEACH. ANTIQUE-INSPIRED MOTIFS, INCLUDING FLORAL AND SCALLOP PATTERNS, ADORN PLATES, WHILE CUSHIONS DRAW INFLUENCE FROM RENAISSANCE ART AND ROMAN MOSAICS. EACH PIECE BLURS THE LINE BETWEEN FUNCTIONAL HOMEWARE AND ART. THE RUINS OF HERCULANEUM—A HISTORIC TOWN IN PRESENT-DAY ERCOLANO, CAMPANIA, ITALY - INSPIRED THE COLLECTION'S STRIPED DESIGNS, REMINISCENT OF AMALFI COAST PARASOLS, FOUND ON TABLECLOTHS. SOPHISTICATED CRYSTAL GLASSWARE CONTRASTS WITH PLAYFUL ’70S CROCKERY, TO CREATE THE ATMOSPHERE OF A VIBRANT DINNER PARTY FILLED WITH SOCIALITES. REGARDING THE COLLECTION, ERDEI COMMENTED: “I DESIGNED THE ‘HERCULANEUM’ SS22 COLLECTION WHILE I PLAYED ’60S AND ’70S ITALIAN CLASSICS FROM PATTY PRAVO, MINA, AND LOREDANA BERTE. THEIR JOYFUL SPIRIT SPARKED A NOSTALGIA FOR THE GLORIOUS ITALIAN RIVIERA AND HELPED TO CREATE A COLELCTION THAT BRINGS THE JOIE DE VIVRE SPIRIT OF THIS ERA TO YOUR HOME.”​
