Timeless Objects for the Modern Host The Art of Hosting

Timeless Objects for the Modern Host combines minimalist design with elegance and functionality, offering a refined approach to contemporary tableware and home objects. Inspired by modernist movements, the collection explores clean geometric lines and honest materials to elevate everyday rituals.

The pieces reflect De=Francesco’s signature design language - precise, considered, and timeless. Each object continues Sofia’s exploration of high-end contemporary design, highlighting the refined dialogue between stainless steel and solid wood.

The T4 Tray transforms a functional serving piece into a statement of balance and structure. The C1 Coaster reinterprets the everyday ritual of drinking through an architectural composition that blends geometry with tactile warmth.

Debuted at Milan Design Week 2025 as part of the exhibition Elevating Objects by DEORON.
