WOW House Collaboration 2024

The partnership between Chase Erwin and Andrea Benedettini Interiors is a harmonious blend of creativity and expertise, cultivated over years of successful collaborations. Lauren fondly recalls Andrea as a key specifier, whose discerning eye for detail and passion for luxurious fabrics have been instrumental in numerous high-profile projects, including his own sumptuous London apartment. This enduring relationship has not only fostered mutual respect but also a deep understanding of each other's design philosophies, culminating in the creation of a truly unique library space for Wow House.

The colour palette, rich in earthy tones yet maintaining a serene neutrality, reflects a deep connection to nature and a commitment to understated luxury. The subtle references to ballet, particularly Swan Lake, are woven throughout the design, creating a space that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. The fabric selection is equally thoughtful, with a palette inspired by nature’s earthy tones, subtly enhanced with hints of luxurious colour.

The chosen fabrics, from rich neutrals to vibrant saffron, are layered to create a sense of depth and warmth, perfectly complementing the overall design ethos. This harmonious blend of textures and hues speaks to the enduring appeal of Chase Erwin’s collections, which seamlessly integrate the classic with the contemporary.

In the creation of the Wow House library space, sustainability is not just an afterthought but a core principle woven into every aspect of the design.

Chase Erwin is renowned for its commitment to sustainability, working closely with artisanal mills across Europe. Many of these mills are located in Italy, Andrea’s homeland, adding a personal touch to the collaboration. Lauren Steno proudly emphasizes, “We source our fabrics with great care, ensuring they come from certified mills committed to sustainable practices. Our collections are curated with a conscious approach, mindful of both environmental impact and luxurious quality.”

A key aspect of this sustainable approach is the preference for natural fabrics, boasting a composition of 75% or higher in natural fibres. This choice not only enhances the tactile experience—providing a much nicer handle—but also reduces the need for additional treatments, aligning with eco-friendly practices.

We are on the same commitment path towards sustainability. The timber frames used in all our upholstery pieces are sustainably sourced from European forests. This meticulous sourcing ensures that each piece of furniture not only exudes elegance and sophistication but also adheres to the highest standards of environmental stewardship.
