Cosimo de' Medici

As part of the “Re-enchanting Villa Medici” programme, the lemon garden was renovated by landscape architect Bas Smets in collaboration with Pierre-Antoine Gatier, senior architect of Historic Monuments. For the occasion, Tectona is launching the furniture line Cosimo’ de Medici, which was specially designed for the garden by the design duo Muller Van Severen and will be unveiled in spring 2025. 

Tectona and Muller Van Severen for the lemon garden of Villa Medici

The duo named the new collection Cosimo de’ Medici, in honour of the Grand Duke of Toscany Cosimo I, a collector of rare citrus trees. It consists of metal pieces – tables, chairs and sun loungers – featuring minimal lines and sleek forms enriched by a subtle graphic detail: the triangle. “We imagined a composition with a rhythm set by repeating metallic blades, each ending in a triangle. This design choice draws in your eyes and also evokes the triangular forms of the garden and the lozenge motifs found throughout Villa Medici,” they continue. A skillful and pertinent tribute, made possible by the savoir-faire of Tectona.
