Maserati and Zegna Collaborated to Create Stylish Car Seats

— September 8, 2015 — Autos
Two powerhouse brands have embarked on a long-term partnership to create luxe car interiors. Luxury carmakers Maserati and fashion house Zegna have decided to re-spark an earlier collaboration, but this time for good. The two brands recently announced that Zegna fabric will be used as an option for its trim, seats, door linings and ceiling head liners for its regular production models.

The fabrics used will be more durable than those used for clothing, but will maintain Zegna's stylish aesthetic. The fabrics will have a much warmer feel compared to typical materials used like leather, metal and wood.

The Zenga trim models are comfortable and non-stick in warm weather. The use of Zenga fabrics and designs are subtle and not overpowering, creating a tasteful accent to Maserati's car interiors.
