Tacchini’s finely crafted Italian

Life and other stories.

The story of home, Tacchini’s finely crafted Italian pieces are not only rich in skill and detail, but also tales, each design telling a special story.

“The house is where the experience of living is stratified, where everything has a defined and recognisable role: functional orientation, but also a testimony to memories, and a metaphysical door to other places and times,” says Tacchini.

“The resonance between the walls that define spaces and environments, and the furnishings that illustrate precise functions and aesthetic form, vibrates according to a frequency that is unique and different for each person because no one has ever experienced the same place in the same way. Everyone retains a fraction of being and living, and what we see participates in what we are. Not only that, each piece of furniture and accessory carries its own story: the design of a project, the finishing material, a production made of art and craft, and technical intuitions on artisanal experiences. All these stories blend harmoniously together where they are placed, to which our reflection is added: like seismographs capable of grasping these subtle frequencies and drawing an evocative path on the unique pages of our memory. Living spaces are dense even when essential because they are never full of things, but rich in stories: just waiting to be told. Tacchini reveals its story in this place sculpted from the solid and removed from the superfluous: each piece of furniture completes its own story in silence because it has already been narrated in all its forms. And in silence, we listen.”

Their storied collection of premium furniture and accessory lines includes sumptuous sofas and daybeds, masculine dining tables and chairs, organic low tables, quirky lights, delicate glass accessories and sculptural vases, all in neutral hues and organic textures.

Tacchini is locally available at Inova Contracts, a local stockist of design-led furniture for discerning South African buyers.
