Fabio Luciani decided to use Aston Martin as inspiration for his new featured 'Drive Me Home' furniture line. Using exquisite materials such as carbon, the line also uses luxury hides as well such as boiled wool.
The Aston Martin Furniture pieces by Fabio Luciani would go well inside the Aston Martin lounge or in any dealership around the world. Check out the featured gallery to see these smooth seating arrangements for yourselves.
Implications - This Aston Martin-inspired piece demonstrates just how much potential the automotive industry has to venture outside of vehicles. Mercedes has created sculptures and Audi has made carbon skis, so why not have large car companies do something similar? If this industry is thinking about expanding their brands, perhaps the move towards at-home designer style products is a move to consider.
