Experience an unusual connection with nature, through luxuriously functional furniture that can transform any space into an exotic forest.

The Forest collection, designed by renowned designer Marcantonio, includes sculptural wonders including cabinets, seating, and accessories.

Quirky shapes, sophisticated colours and brass finishes create a sense of eccentricity and luxury.

As Marcantonio mentions, the idea was to create an “elegant irony”. Witness this ode to nature at the Milan Design Week, Fuorisalone 2023.

Signor Ciuco and Lady Luna created a global phenomenon by getting married in Goa in December 2022. Designed by Matteo Cibic, Signor Ciuco, famous for its form and functionality, is a special cabinet covered with the new Scarlet Splendour logo shaped gold studs on a rich black jacket.

He holds a universe of love and joy within and commands a room with his handsome presence. Lady Luna is a dazzling cabinet in ruby red.

The inside has gleaming brass arches and secret objects housed within.A one-of-a-kind wedding of two custom made and recently launched cabinets have been the talk of the town all through their honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast! The happy couple decided to stop by Milan on their way back home and will be present at 10 Corso Como to meet their admirers especially for Milan Design Week.

Discover magic, as motion merges with the motionless to create a silent rhythm and awe-inspiring furniture. The Chhau Donna Cabinet designed by Elena Salmistraro, is inspired by the female Chhau dancers of India. Defined by Italian contemporary forms and exquisite Indian craftsmanship.

The collection, IDanzatori borrows from the classical dances of India and the grandeur of the dancers’ costumes. It revives some of India’s deep-rooted cultures, philosophies and stories with a contemporary design style.

It takes the spectators by surprise and into a trance like state with its mesmerising structure.

Similar to dancers rehearsing their flawless movements over countless hours, our skilled local craftsmen too, have spent days perfecting the sculptural yet functional collection. Capturing the expressive details with geometric nuances and an alluring gamut of colours using materials like plywood and nautical resin.

A chair unlike anything you ever imagined. Designed to impress and crafted in pure brass. The Wolk Chair can fill your home and heart with happiness every time you experience it.

Richard Hutten’s Wolk collection for Scarlet Splendour is inspired by beautiful, rare mammatus clouds. Translated into furniture it becomes larger than life and is a testimony to the brilliance of Dutch design. Experience e rg o n o m i c e u p h o r i a w i t h o u r shimmering Wolk Chair.

About Marcantonio

Marcantonio (Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba) was born in 1976 in Massalombarda, Italy.

He attended the Art Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts.As soon as he graduated, he started working in the theater scene, designing scenographies and collaborating with various architects, making commissioned furniture.

He soon begins to create unique pieces of design in parallel with an artistic production of sculptures with naturalistic subjects.Step by step the two careers begin to become contaminated.

Thus his design is enriched with artistic concepts and sculpture becomes more usable.

Connections between man and nature are his favorite theme, in interpreting the dynamics and beauties of nature showing the attitude of the man who alters the original.

Marcantonio loves to think of his work as a direct manifestation of his creative instinct, also defined as natural, to realize what his mind imagined.

He has learned from Art how an idea can be elegant, which is why he’s always looking for pure and synthetic concepts.

“I think the greatest inspiration comes from nature, both from its forms and from its attitude, nothing is superfluous in nature, everything is essential, functional. I feel a strong appeal from nature, a sense of belonging, I see great similarities in the natural world, within it and also compared to our world. The expansion of a city and its streets recalls the growth of certain micro organisms, a tree remembers our veins. So, more than looking for new forms, I look for new concepts”.
