Time to breathe a sigh after the moody and broody days of winter when spirits lighten, outlooks brighten, the weather warms and life is good; La Dolce Vita, Milano style.

There is excitement in the air as Milan readies itself for the Salone del Mobile, its annual furniture fair held each Spring, where the international design communities descend upon Italy’s fashion, style and design center to see what directions the interiors and fashion leaders are heading.

Inspired by mountainous landscapes, Savannah features prints, weaves and embroideries that reflect nature’s rugged beauty. With upholstery-weight cross stripes and woodblock-style leaf jacquards, the collection emphasises outdoor elegance, enriched by tribal motifs and intricate dot work. A nature-inspired palette of rich navy, rust and bold black and white suits a variety of décor styles.

The Veva collection takes us on a passionate journey inspired by an unusually surprising Portuguese woman, a great lady of her time who broke standards and challenged taboos like no one else in that “well-behaved” Portugal, that lived, astonished, with Veva’s fascinating personality.

The Veva collection explores the decorative elements of the golden period of Art Deco and the metamorphosis of motifs, the richness of materials and the eclecticism of different cultures.
