Buongiorno from the Amalfi coastlines — right here in Singapore. As someone who’s spent more than a decade exploring trends in furniture and lifestyle design, I can say this confidently: Commune’s new Hotel Paradiso collection might just be one of the most refreshing home launches we’ve seen in 2025. Bold, nostalgic, and effortlessly elegant, it offers something rare in today’s saturated interior landscape — furniture with soul.
When I stepped into the showroom, I felt instantly transported — the kind of immersion that usually takes a plane ticket and several espresso shots to achieve. Commune has taken the timeless essence of the Mediterranean and distilled it into a collection that feels both distinctly European and deeply relevant for modern homes.
Mediterranean Living, Reinvented
Launched on 3 April 2025, Hotel Paradiso is Commune’s latest ode to slow living, effortless elegance, and vintage European flair. This Mediterranean-inspired collection doesn’t just bring summer into your home — it brings soul. Every piece radiates warmth, joy, and nostalgia, from fluted wood details to the playful yet grounded colour palettes.
“Dolce far niente,” the Italians call it — the sweetness of doing nothing — and that’s exactly the energy this collection bottles up and delivers into your living space.
As someone who believes in curating a home that feels more like a personal sanctuary than a showroom, I was drawn to the tactility and character of every item. The ribbed sideboards? Absolutely divine. The curved silhouettes of the tables? Pure Italian charm. And the martini side table in sage green? Instantly on my wishlist.
Hotel Paradiso doesn’t follow trends — it resurrects and refines timeless ones. If you’re a fan of the golden age of Italian cinema, mid-century Riviera aesthetics, and unapologetic glamour, you’ll find yourself right at home.
Standouts of the collection include:
-
Bold, sun-washed tones that evoke coastal terracotta, olive trees, and seafoam blues
-
Ribbed textures and fluted designs that harken back to classical Mediterranean architecture
-
Retro geometric patterns that feel nostalgic but never dated
-
Sustainable materials and durable craftsmanship designed for modern living
What I personally loved most was how effortlessly the pieces blended with contemporary interiors. You could easily pair the statement couch with neutral, Scandinavian-inspired pieces — or go full retro-chic with coloured ceramics and woven rugs.
Finishing Touches: Lighting and Fans That Complete the Story
Design is about the full experience, and Commune clearly gets this. Their collaborations with JBL for lighting and Home Decor Fan for bespoke ceiling fans complete the Hotel Paradiso lifestyle. These additions aren’t afterthoughts — they’re integral to achieving that sunlit Italian villa meets Singapore chic aesthetic.
Bonus: fans from Home Decor Fan are eligible for Singapore’s Climate Vouchers, making this breezy upgrade easy on both your wallet and the planet.
Design That Grows With You:
The Commune x Hegen 3-Way Stool
While Hotel Paradiso is all about indulgent living, the Commune x Hegen 3-Way Stool is a masterclass in smart design — and it’s no surprise that it just earned the iF Design Award 2025. As an editor (and a design enthusiast), I can tell you: awards like these are hard-won, judged by industry veterans who look for innovation, sustainability, and real-world usability.
So, what makes this stool special? Just about everything.
Why It Deserves the Spotlight
-
Three configurations in one: Seat, toddler-safe chair, and tabletop
-
Soft curves and no sharp edges, echoing the Hegen Sqround™ bottle design
-
Adaptive design that grows with your child – from mealtime to playtime
-
Speco antimicrobial protection, for peace of mind in busy households
This is more than a nursery essential — it’s a quiet revolution in multipurpose furniture. Whether you’re a parent or just someone who appreciates design with heart, this piece proves that style and safety can coexist beautifully.
