Luca Guadagnino’s Dreamy Home Collection Lands at Zara

Luca Guadagnino may be best known for the aching romance of Call Me by Your Name, but his eye for space and mood runs deeper than any love story. In fact, two‑thirds of the apartment you see in “After the Hunt” is filled with objects that came straight from his own stash.

Now the director has taken that knack for atmosphere and turned it into a full‑blown home line. Together with longtime production designer Stefano Baisi, he has birthed Baisi Guadagnino for Zara Home, a sprawling collection that rolls out more than 200 pieces – from curvy sofas and sculptural lamps to hand‑woven rugs, scented candles and even a gender‑fluid ready‑to‑wear capsule.

The launch is set for September 26, when the pieces go live on Zara Home’s website and in stores worldwide. To give the drop a cinematic flourish, Guadagnino commissioned a short film written by Scott Z. Burns (the man behind “Contagion” and “The Bourne Ultimatum”). The 8‑minute vignette stars Jamie Bell, Chase Sui Wonders, Michael Stuhlbarg and Patricia Arquette, and it will debut alongside the collection.

Baisi isn’t a newcomer to the director’s inner circle. He helped craft the stylized 1950s‑Mexico City of “Queer” (2024) and the layered interiors of “After the Hunt”. This time, his design language feels like a movie set you could actually live in. The pieces draw on the clean geometry of Viennese Secession, the glitter of French Art Deco, the boldness of Brazilian Modernism and the experimental edge of Italian Radical Design.

Each item gets its own whimsical name – “Purkersdorf”, “Nape”, “Ophiuchi”, “Blinking” and “Sacred Spring” – as the collaborators describe the line as an “atlas of desire”. The mood board also sneaks in homages to 1980s Jean‑Luc Godard, as well as the visual poetry of Edward Yang and Nagisa Ōshima.

The fashion side mirrors the home range’s fluidity. Tailored jackets and loose‑fit tweeds mingle with sculptural dresses that borrow color palettes from Belgian avant‑garde and volume tricks from Japanese design. It’s a wardrobe that refuses to be boxed into gender.

To celebrate the debut, Zara Home will turn Milan’s La Pelota into a two‑day pop‑up during Milan Fashion Week, September 26‑27. The space, designed by Guadagnino and Baisi, will feel like stepping onto a set – complete with installations that echo the collection’s curves and lines.

Whether you’re furnishing a living room or searching for a statement piece that feels like it belongs in a film, the Baisi Guadagnino line promises something more than décor. It’s an invitation to live inside a story.
