At Milan Design Week 2025 (Salone del Mobile 2025), Natuzzi Italia once again brought its signature vision of Mediterranean-inspired elegance to Milan. Known for blending Italian craftsmanship with a contemporary, lifestyle-driven aesthetic, the brand continues to champion not just furniture, with the theme “Rooted in Harmony” this year. We were on-site to experience the booth firsthand. Natuzzi’s exhibition focused on nature-infused palettes, sculptural seating, and fluid forms - part of their ongoing effort to merge comfort, sustainability, and soulful design. It was all about tone, material, and the kind of soothing, lived-in elegance that Natuzzi does so well.

Natuzzi Italia has long been recognized as one of Italy’s most respected luxury furniture houses. With decades of heritage, the brand is celebrated for its elegant leather sofas, architectural recliners, and serene, neutral-toned environments that evoke relaxation.

Every piece is rooted in ergonomics, high-quality materials, and sophisticated tailoring. From cloud-like cushioning to balanced proportions that make each seat feel like it was made for you. It’s this commitment to comfort, refined over time, that keeps Natuzzi Italia relevant in both traditional and contemporary homes.

At Milan Design Week 2025, we also had the chance to preview exciting new projects that point to the brand’s future direction. The Memoria Project by Karim Rashid introduces soft curves and sinuous lines inspired by the rolling hills of Apulia,  a nod to Natuzzi’s cultural roots, reimagined through a contemporary lens.
Meanwhile, the Amama Project by Andrea Steidl presents a modular island sofa designed for dual-facing configurations, offering both flexibility and a sculptural, open-plan feel for modern interiors.

These concepts reaffirm Natuzzi’s ability to evolve with intention, always grounded in comfort and Italian soul.

Spring in Vancouver is always a magical time.
From March through May, the city transforms as thousands of cherry trees burst into bloom, from the manicured beauty of VanDusen Botanical Garden and Queen Elizabeth Park to the quiet streets and neighborhoods tucked away across the city.

While early varieties like Somei Yoshino begin fading by April, the vibrant, deeper-hued Kanzan cherry blossoms steal the show in May, covering Vancouver in rich, celebratory pinks. It's a fleeting beauty that reminds us to pause, enjoy the moment, and find inspiration in the everyday.

This spring, at INspiration Furniture, we embraced this spirit by pairing one of our favorite sculptural pieces - the Papilo Island Sofa by Ditre Italia - with the final blooms of the season.

Experience the Freedom of Papilo

More than just a sofa, the Papilo Island Sofa is a freestanding, modular seating system designed for those who crave flexibility, comfort, and creativity.

Each element  from the mobile cushions to the adaptable backrests. It moves and adjusts to your body, offering wraparound comfort that feels personal, intuitive, and effortlessly relaxed.

Without a strict "front" or "back," and with endless combination possibilities, Papilo invites you to reimagine how you use your space. Whether placed in an open-plan living room, a cozy reading nook, or a multifunctional studio, Papilo becomes a fluid, living part of your home, just like the changing seasons outside.

Crafted with a minimalist yet inviting aesthetic, and finished with soft-touch upholstery, Papilo combines Italian craftsmanship with playful, sculptural form. It's the perfect match for a season of renewal and creativity.

Find Inspiration This Season

As May draws to a close, the last of the cherry blossoms remind us to savor these small moments of beauty.
It’s also the perfect time to refresh your home with pieces that embody that same spirit — pieces that invite relaxation, expression, and living beautifully every day.

We invite you to visit our Vancouver or Coquitlam showrooms to experience the Papilo Island Sofa in person, along with many other pieces from our curated collections of Italian, European, and contemporary furniture.

Let spring’s inspiration stay with you — not just outside, but throughout your living space. And if you need help bringing it all together, our interior design team is here to help you create a space that truly reflects your style.

At this year’s Salone del Mobile, Calia Italia marked a milestone - 60 years of Italian design innovation. Their presentation at Milan Design Week 2025 was a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and forward-thinking comfort. Calia Italia's booth featured earthy tones inspired by the landscapes of Basilicata - burnt sienna, sand, and copper - complemented by textured materials. This palette set the stage for their latest collections with contemporary aesthetics.

Bridging Heritage and Modern Living

Under the theme “60 Years. Timeless Comfort,” Calia Italia showcased a vision that blends heritage with modernity - through pieces that are accessible, expressive, and designed for the way we live now. Calia Italia furniture has long been admired for its balance of design and comfort, but the 2025 collection also brings a new level of adaptability and urban sensibility.

The brand continues to offer high-quality, Italian-crafted furniture at accessible price points, appealing to younger audiences that value individuality, flexibility, and smart living. With pieces tailored to urban lifestyles, Calia Italia has become a favorite among young elites and design-savvy city dwellers looking to elevate their living spaces without compromising on comfort.These are sofas and loungers made for modern apartments, open-plan studios, and stylish homes where design and function need to coexist.

A Balance of Form and Function

One of Calia’s greatest strengths is in creating furniture that feels effortless but intentional. Every piece balances clean aesthetics with ergonomic support - whether it’s a modular sectional with unexpected curves or a recliner disguised in elegant upholstery.

The collection's proportions are designed for smaller to medium-sized homes, with a scale that fits urban living while still offering a sense of openness. It's a thoughtful design approach that prioritizes lifestyle without sacrificing visual impact.

Approachable Luxury

While Calia delivers on design, it also remains accessible. Compared to other premium Italian brands, the pricing of Calia Italia furniture offers remarkable value, making it easier for customers to bring home authentic Italian craftsmanship without overstretching their budgets.

For clients looking to invest in their first statement sofa, or to refresh a space with functional elegance, Calia offers a compelling choice: refined comfort, expressive detail, and practical scale - all without compromise.

During Milan Design Week 2025 (Salone del Mobile 2025), we had the pleasure of joining Cattelan Italia at their newly renovated flagship showroom, a stunning transformation of a former Milanese bank. The space captures the brand’s signature approach: bold in form, refined in detail, and elegantly modern.

A Showroom That Speaks the Language of Design

The Cattelan showroom flows like an immersive gallery. Each piece is thoughtfully placed in a space designed not just to display furniture, but to evoke emotion. Textures invite touch, materials speak through craftsmanship, and the designs elevate what it means to live with intention. The showroom brings together Italian heritage and contemporary aesthetics in a way that feels both natural and striking.

This visit reaffirmed why Cattelan Italia furniture holds such a distinctive place in the world of luxury interiors. Whether it's their modern Italian dining tables, sculptural consoles, or architectural sideboards, each design reflects a thoughtful blend of form and purpose.

From Timeless Icons to Evolving Ideas

While at the showroom, we revisited some of Cattelan’s most iconic pieces including the Skorpio and Senator dining tables and previewed the newest additions for 2025. Their evolving use of materials, like ceramic tabletops, smoked glass, and brushed bronze bases, continues to push the limits of innovation while staying true to Italian design heritage. We also previewed a new range of upholstered pieces, featuring plush forms and bold proportions that reflect an evolving, more relaxed way of living.

The combination of timeless craftsmanship and experimental design keeps the brand fresh while remaining true to its identity. These are not just furniture pieces, but design statements that fit beautifully into modern homes.

We here at Inspiration Furniture would like to congratulate the extremely talented builders at Tavan Luxury Homes on winning several HAVAN’s (Vancouver Homebuilders Association) Awards for Housing and Excellence 2024.

The builder took home the Best Kitchen Renovation: $175,000 and over, Best Character Home Renovation and Best Renovation: $1.5 Million and Over Awards for its incredible Shaughnessy Renaissance project, alongside winning four other awards.

With seven wins out of nine nominations, Tavan was named Grand HAVAN Residential Renovator of the Year.

These awards demonstrate the continued success of Tavan’s design ethos which has served the builder well in its over 50 years of excellence, with its ethos being to design and build homes that offer form and function while also embodying the history and personality of the project’s neighborhood.

This ethos is obvious in the project as the renovation has brought the home up to the standards of modern living and design while still retaining the charm and classical architecture of Shaughnessy where it resides.

Particularly exciting is that this incredible project was furnished entirely by Inspiration Furniture’s expert interior design team, who lent their time and talents to this now award-winning project.

Take a look at these gorgeous photos of the project which highlight the enticing combination of Tavan’s architectural excellence and the fantastic furnishing insight of Inspiration Furniture’s Interior Design specialists.
