This April, the Livingspace Vancouver team traveled to Milan for Salone del Mobile 2025, the world’s most important design fair. More than just a visit, this annual pilgrimage is an opportunity for us to connect in person with our brand partners, discover the latest collections, and ensure we bring home the very best in design innovation for our clients in Vancouver.

Minotti: charting new perspectives for the future.

Minotti’s 2025 Collection debuted in a striking new pavilion through five curated environments celebrating contemporary living. At the heart of the exhibition were new seating systems — Bézier by Marcio Kogan/Studio MK27, Coupé by Giampiero Tagliaferri, Riley by Hannes Peer, Saki by Nendo, and Vivienne by GamFratesi — each offering distinct yet harmonious atmospheres. Enhanced by natural elements and fine art from Tornabuoni Arte, the collection marks a refined evolution of Minotti’s design language.

Baxter: Design Meets Drama on Lake Como

Baxter unveiled its 2025 Collection at La Casa sul Lago on Lake Como during Milan Design Week, turning the villa into a sensory showcase of sculptural forms and luxurious materials. Blending Italian craftsmanship with bold experimentation, the collection reflects Baxter’s poetic, contemporary vision: made with leather, mastery, and beauty. More than products, these pieces are characters in an evolving story of cultured living and 21st-century Italian design.

Paola Lenti: Outdoor Innovation, Reinvented

At Milan Design Week 2025, Paola Lenti invites us on a journey of reconnection through Ritrovarsi — a thoughtful exploration of colour, space, and nature. Their indoor and outdoor collections are presented in a harmonious dialogue between architecture and landscape, creating a serene, immersive experience. The flagship store becomes more than a showroom but it’s a space to reflect, reconnect, and rediscover the essence of design.

Bocci: A Milanese Apartment, Reimagined

Bocci welcomed us into their Milan apartment showroom—an intimate space where their lighting came alive in a lived-in setting. This year marks Bocci’s 20th anniversary, celebrated with The Numbers Between The Numbers, a special exhibition curated by David Alhadeff of The Future Perfect, exploring Omer Arbel’s latest works. Additional pieces by Orior, Calico Wallpaper, Christopher Farr, Shore Studios, and Henrybuilt added depth to the experience. We’re proud to showcase Bocci’s most iconic designs in our Vancouver showroom, formerly the brand’s original headquarters.

Gloster: Elevated Outdoor Living

Gloster’s latest collections, Wrap, Grand Sail, Rail, and Ambient Compass blend timeless aesthetics with refined functionality to elevate outdoor living. Inspired by the elegance of grand yachts and vintage locomotives, these designs by Henrik Pedersen bring together classic lines, modern comfort, and expert craftsmanship in fine teak. The result is a sophisticated yet relaxed outdoor experience, rooted in heritage and innovation.

Bringing Milan Home

At Livingspace, our mission is to curate and deliver the very best in European design to our clients here in Vancouver. Whether it’s a full home renovation or a single standout piece, we look forward to helping you bring the elegance and inspiration of Salone del Mobile into your space.

On March 20th, the Livingspace Outdoor showroom transformed into a vibrant hub of design, culinary delights, and industry networking. The launch party was an incredible success, bringing together a dynamic crowd of designers, industry experts, and outdoor living enthusiasts to celebrate the grand opening of Livingspace Outdoor.

Livingspace Outdoor was born from a vision to expand Livingspace’s 37-year legacy of modern living into the outdoors. Located in Vancouver’s Olympic Village at 122 W 2nd Avenue, this new venture was made possible through the acquisition of Brougham Outdoor and Kerrisdale Lumber Home’s Outdoor Kitchen business. Livingspace Outdoor brings decades of expertise under the Livingspace brand, offering an unparalleled selection of premium outdoor products, including furniture, kitchens, appliances, and heating solutions.

Guests had the opportunity to win exciting giveaways from our esteemed brand partners: Gloster, Fermob, Wolf Gourmet, HanStone Quartz, and Viking cookware from Middleby. The atmosphere was electric, fueled by an exquisite selection of wines from Mission Hill, in collaboration with Build Magazine.

Adding to the experience, Chef Giuseppe Cortinovis of Nightingale delighted guests with freshly made pizza from our state-of-the-art outdoor ovens, accompanied by a variety of delicious and fresh snacks. Meanwhile, DJ City of Ang set the perfect mood with an energizing playlist that kept the celebration lively throughout the night.

Livingspace Outdoor is thrilled to have hosted such an incredible evening, strengthening connections within the industry and showcasing the possibilities of luxurious outdoor living. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event unforgettable. Special thanks to NinePoint Agency for their Public Relations support.

Bocci’s newest creation, the 14p, their first-ever portable light, is now available at Livingspace.

Bocci 14 portable light

Bocci, founded by Creative Director Omer Arbel and Entrepreneur Randy Bishop, debuted with their first light, the 14, created in a modified barn in rural British Columbia. Today, Bocci is a renowned design group with a portfolio of over 20 sculptural lights, each named chronologically by its conception date. Every piece is developed, engineered, and fabricated in-house at their Vancouver design studio.

The latest release, the 14p, represents a natural evolution for Bocci, creating pieces that seamlessly integrate with the user’s lifestyle. Bocci’s focus is not just on lighting but on crafting atmospheres. Each 14 is handmade and unique, featuring distinctive air bubbles and cloudy clarity formed during the glassblowing process.

Get your hands on a CACTUS® while supplies last.

Gufram & Guframini CACTUS® on the Livingspace showroom floor.

We’re celebrating half a century of the Gufram CACTUS®, an icon of Italian design, transforming the domestic landscape of what design can be through ironic grit, imagination, and humour of 1970s design. It’s more than an indoor-outdoor hall-tree; it’s a playful decorative piece that challenges the rigid norms of society, inviting free and often ambiguous interpretations.

The Guframini CACTUS® in 6 colourways at the Livingspace showroom.

For this special 50th anniversary of the daring CACTUS® sculpture, you can now find it in it’s original large-scale design, and the new Guframini. The Guframini CACTUS® is a perfectly miniaturized version of the iconic silhouette. This concentrate version sits on a scale of 1:8 to it’s original size, ideal for small extra small spaces. Available in 6 colourways.

Gufram has also continued their collaboration with Paul Smith, unveiling of the SUNRISE CACTUS® – a fresh colourway of the design originally conceived by Guido Drocco and Franco Mello in 1972. SUNRISE CACTUS® draws inspiration from the dawn of a new day and Paul Smith’s mantra, “every day is a new beginning,” which is also engraved on the objects’ base.

Discover the Gufram and Guframini CACTUS® models in-store at our Vancouver Showroom, situated in the Armoury District.

The Gufram & Guframini CACTUS®

Did you know each Gufram CACTUS® is handmade?

The iconic design is crafted from the original design mould – used since it’s inception, then carefully sculpted, and hand-finished by specialized artisans at Gufram’s Italian headquarters, ensuring each piece is unique. The surface features 2,165 polyurethane spikes (give or take a few), which are then painted with Guflac®, Gufram’s patented paint that maintains its flexibility and softness.

As we finalize the last details, we’re thrilled to unveil one of Antonio Citterio’s most contemporary kitchen creations: Principia.

When conceptualizing Principia, Citterio’s primary focus was on upholding the fundamental philosophy of the kitchen as the heart of the home—a space where both physical and spiritual nourishment thrive. He seamlessly merged tradition with a fresh aesthetic and cutting-edge functionality, crafting a modern yet inviting environment where family and friends can gather. Thus, Principia derives its name from the term “principles,” emphasizing its commitment to the foundational values of the kitchen.
