Transatlantique — Villa Borsani, 2024

Transatlantique
14th – 21st april 2024
Milan Design Week
Villa Borsani, Varedo, Italy

This show took place during Fuorisalone 2024 at the famous Villa Borsani, the former home of architect Osvaldo Borsani, built in the early 1940s and now perfectly preserved as a museum. Pieces of the Transatlantique collection were presented near the house’s most striking architectural feature: the stair in the entry hall.

The Transatlantique collection for Atelier de Troupe and cc-tapis refers to the French Ocean Liners of the early 20th century and the golden age of the Streamline Moderne movement; popularized by the Transatlantic company that linked France to New York. Every interior was thoughtfully curated in the style of the French Decorative Arts, laying the groundwork for Art Deco Design.

Each piece of furniture in this collection is a study in Art Deco Design and the Streamline Moderne style of the most famous ship of the fleet, the SS Normandie, with its clean and radical designs and luxurious finishes.
