While women of fashion are lost in contemplation of Haute Couture winter/spring 2009-2010, we are perplexed. In fact we observed exactly same design trends at various international contemporary furniture exhibitions. Both fashion designers and furniture designers are people of many inspirations and untamed imaginations…which, at times…are one and the same. Don’t believe? — look at our selection.
Christian Lacroix amalgamated basic blacks with lush gold toned embroidery in his Collection to arrive at magnificent panache. Back in 1998, Ross Lovegrove designed the Landscape Dining Set for Frighetto with the limited edition coated in gold leaf with black “border like” dining chairs, while Brianform in the Monte Nappoleone Collection upholstered the super popular and ultra modern Tiffany Sofa in textured gold colored leather.

Givenchy’s Collection featured Middle Eastern inspired garments. A similar inspiration was observed back in 2005 when Marcel Wonders designed the Diary Sofa for Moooi which debuted in the signature scarlet fabric upholstery with ethnic trim. In 2008, Enrico Fratesi added Luisa Table to the product line up of the Danish manufacturer Softline.
