Versace Home Collection 2012

Elegant collection The new Versace Home collection is a contemporary statement of Versace lifestyle, possessing a strong fashion influence. The message is powerful and direct: very Versace. Three themes are explored: Vanitas, Greek Key and Baroque. All are central to the Versace design lexicon, making this collection a comprehensive study of Versace leitmotifs.
The DNA of the House of Medusa is explored in three distinctive ways: through the soft, feminine lines of Vanitas; the more restrained, masculine application of the Greek Key motif; and finally through Baroque, where magnified shapes turn into three-dimensional forms.
Three different stories that can be brought together and juxtaposed.
Iconic prints feature a colour palette derived from the Versace prêt-à-porter and haute couture collections: sulphur yellow, acid green, electric blue and pearl grey. These foundation colours are interspersed with touches of gold, ivory, stone and black.
Materials are opulent: gold and silver metals, shiny leather, velvet, silk, gold leaf, and precious marbles and wood veneers.
The Vanitas chair, an established Versace Home icon, has been streamlined into a lighter version and completely covered in Baroque-print fabric.
Newcomers to the collection include a dual function dining/gaming table with hand-painted gold leaf top, and the Wave dormeuse chair in bold velvet.
The new Versace Home collection clearly demonstrates that the brand is more than ever a perfect fusion between fashion and design.
