Milan is a mysterious and theatrical city, almost frozen in a certain time period: that of the 1960s. Some of its buildings are real treasures, whose majestic appearance is the fruit of the work of the great masters: Gio Ponti, Luigi Caccia Dominioni and Piero Portaluppi. Names that have put their stamp on the history of this city, the birthplace of architecture and design but also of The Socialite Family’s founder, Constance Gennari.This double identity, Franco-Italian, is primordial to us. We have made it our duty to share it with you. To transmit it to you. In the choice of our artisans and their skills, first of all, for an irreproachable quality of work that the maestri hold dear. In our inspiration, of course, and lastly, in the design of our creations. So that you can, in your own way, adopt the “Milanese style”. A style illustrated by its minimalism, of which the aptly named “palazzi” are a fine example with their natural sophistication. Illustrated also by its modernism. Clean, sculptural lines, like those of our Brera range of light fittings in pleated cotton, of our Mezza Luna wall light, or of our Gioia table lamp. And then there are the materials. Placed like a signature as one enters a building. Craftsmanship in terrazzo floors or brass detailing, not forgetting wood, skilfully transformed into state-of-the-art furniture, always beautiful. Why not accompany your own version of marble or travertine, in the shape of our Donna sculpture, by the theatrical sweep of a Palazzo velvet corduroy curtain, or the colourful bevelled glass of our Chiara vase. In Milan, there are no concessions when it comes to interior design. It is exalted, with accessories that allow its full potential to shine out. Let’s be inspired by it!
Gioia table lamp, with a black lacquered beechwood lamp base and a white cream pleated cotton shade. Lamp base also available in red or green lacquer. Gioia… The name of our brand new lamp is as soft as the light that emanates from it. Gioia. Joy. The joy of casting a gentle glow over a mantelpiece, at the end of a sofa or on a bedside table. The Gioia will become indispensable, wherever you place it. With its sophisticated design, the sculptural form of its base suggesting a flower and its pleated shade reminiscent of an elegant dress, Gioia is a signature piece. A shining example of the savoir-faire so dear to our hearts at The Socialite Family which is exemplified in the choice of materials and finishes. The shiny lacquer juxtaposed with and enhancing the wood and the matt cotton which set the tone. The promise of a piece that is madly modern, yet retro at the same time.

This style is also a nonchalance, specific to the Milanese. Sophisticated and free, like the line of our Rotondo sofa. - Constance Gennari
It’s one of the oldest floors in the world. The terrazzo, or granito, had already seduced people from Ancient Rome before convincing us and arriving in our homes. Directly coming from Italy, its name comes from a province near Verona and...
