Catherine Bujold’s Space Age Home

Interior Design

Aug 18

Named the Sorellarium, Catherine Bujold took inspiration from her favorite TV show, Space: 1999 to design her home. She renovated her house and furnished with all space age items, including the Sorella Lamp (1972) by Harvey Guzzini which she got the name Sorellarium from. The lamp is also a prominent prop in the TV show.

The futuristic abode features a Joe Colombo ‘Elda’ lounge chair (1960s) and another Colombo creation, the ‘Robo’ side table (1970s) next to, Sergio Mazza ‘Toga’ chairs (1960s) a ‘Pileo’ floor lamp by Gae Aulenti (1970s).

On the left hand side are three stacked ‘Amanta’ tables by Mario Bellini (1960s) with a ‘Tizio’ table lamp by Richard Sapper (1972) sitting upon them. On the right side is the ‘Sorella’ lamp by Harvey Guzzini (1972).

In the bedroom you will find another ‘Sorella’ table lamp by Harvey Guzzini (1972) and a ‘Rodica’ sphere chair by Mario Brunu, (1969).

A space age bathroom!? Yes, please. Beside the bathtub is a Componibili side table/cabinet by Anna Castelli Ferrieri (1967).

One of the two dining areas features a Vico Magistetti dining set (1970s).

The second dining area features a ‘Unibloc’ table with built in seating (1970s).

One last addition to the space is a Pierre Paulin ‘Ribbon’ chair and ottoman, 1960s.
