fashion meets furniture

 The brand Missoni has been synonymous with eye popping patterns and a distinctive look since the early 1950's.  This Italian brand started in knitwear, but the look can now be found on everything from china to sofas.

Check out their site at missoni home to see even more of the current patterns and home line. The look is certainly not for the timid or neutral beige fan, but you can't deny it's unique and daring!
