Fashion house Jacquemus is breaking free of its exclusive focus on fashion, shoes, and accessories by launching a brand-new stylish furniture collection and a unique take on the Gae Aulenti sun lounger. For this release, the brand partnered with the Italian company Exteta.
The iconic Locus Solus collection was designed by the late Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti in 1964. Jacquemus translates the timeless silhouettes with contemporary sensibilities. The collaborator debuted a total of four outdoor pieces, adorned with summer-inspired aesthetics and details borrowed from the Mediterranean.
Alongside the reinterpreted Gae Aulenti stylish furniture collection, Jacquemus also debuted the Objects capsule, boating various homeware items. This one was "designed in conjunction with the Jacquemus Le Raphia collection."
