Fendi Casa at Milan Design Week 2025 Fendi Casa Adiada armchair SILVIA RIVOLTELLA OBSESSIONS. DECORATION. SALIENT FACTS. F endi Casa has arrived in Houston thanks to CAM Studio, which has debuted a 1,000-square-foot shop- in-shop for the Italian furniture brand. Luxury fashion house Fendi, founded in Rome in 1925, joined forces with Flos B&B Italia Group to debut Fendi Casa in 2021 to evolve Italian furniture design for a new era. As creative director Silvia Venturini Fendi, known for discovering A ctors attend movie premieres all the time; that's just another day at work. Arriving at the Venice Film Festival via private water taxi from Hotel Cipriani in a Tom Ford tuxedo or dripping with Tiffany & Co. diamonds, though … That's next level. When director Guillermo del Toro's latest film, a retelling of Mary Shelley's 1818 gothic magnum opus Frankenstein, premiered at this year's Venice Film Festival, Mia Goth — who portrays Victor Frankenstein's love interest, Elizabeth Lavenza — arrived in a necklace iced with diamonds and emeralds from The Tiffany Archives. Five days later, Tiffany & Co. announced its pioneering partnership with the film. For the first time, the house took a bold step into the cinematic universe by collaborating with Frankenstein's makers, setting a new precedent for the role of jewelry in film. It's the natural continuation of Tiffany's storied cinematic legacy that began with Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Because of the depth of its nearly 200-year-old archives, Tiffany & Co. brought together rarely seen vintage Gothic Beauty Arriva Fendi Casa masterworks alongside contemporary high jewelry for del Toro's buzzy film. Beyond acting as mere adornments, the jewels create a visual language and function as storytellers, adding a heightened level of authenticity to the characters' inner and outer worlds. A total of 27 Tiffany & Co. jewels and objects appear on screen. The film's costume department, helmed by Kate Hawley, curated this dazzling mix of vintage and new jewels, as well as five pieces designed specifically for del Toro's iteration of the cautionary tale. Frankenstein opens in theaters Friday, October 17, and on Netflix globally Friday, November 7. Melissa Smrekar and supporting young talent, puts it, "Beauty finds its purpose in objects with the highest craftsmanship. This is our idea of interior design: elegant and light, classic yet innovative." Among the most representative Fendi Casa products are on display at CAM Studio, including the modular Five sofa by Marcel Wanders Studio and the Metropolis coffee table designed by Atelier Oï, with its pleasing arches made of steel. We're eyeing the playful Bottini Jelly side table — the ideal perch for that 5 o'clock Negroni. Fendi Casa at CAM Studio, Shops at Arrive River Oaks, 2800 Kirby Dr. , camstudioid.com.
