At this year's Salone del Mobile, Versace debuted a fashion chair that takes inspiration from its iconic emblem. The 'Mesedia' chair is made from climate-proof aluminium and comes in a range of colors, including orange, purple and a vibrant pink.
While Versace Home was first launched in 1992, designs will now be created in-house in order to create more cohesion between the clothing and accessories released by the company. Other pieces showed at the annual design and furniture fair already showcased how this plan will be carried forward. For instance, the Gesù Palazzo Empire sofa takes inspiration from the brand's Palazzo Empire bag.
Alongside Versace, high-end fashion brands like Giorgio Armani, Fendi and Hermès were among the companies that showed off furniture collections at this year's Salone del Mobile in Milan.
