Partnering with a group of respected artists–including Simon Hasan, Carl Auböck, Bottega Ghianda, and San Lorenzo–each piece contains a part of the menswear brand's identity in the form of rich leathers, silky woods, and delicate ceramics.


Versace Home

Versace first dropped its luxury homeware collection in 1992, initially launching with fabrics and dinnerware and later expanding to a wide range of items for the home from bedding to wallpaper. Aligning with the brand's DNA, the aesthetic of these pieces follow a maximalist Baroque style that's practically dripping in gold. Not to mention, the house's signature Medusa head is used on a variety of the homewares for an added touch of Versace to the home.

Incorporating Missoni's bold color combinations and iconic linear patterns. Missoni Home currently has boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, and Saudi Arabia with furnishings also in Missoni Hotels worldwide.


Balenciaga x Harry Nuriev

While the house doesn't have an official homeware collection, Balenciaga displayed its first dip into homewares in 2019 at Art Basel Miami, where New York-based designer Harry Nuriev partnered with the house in creating a furniture piece. The colorful sofa comprised old pieces of Balenciaga clothing packed under a layer of vinyl. The art piece presented a new idea for designers to upcycle their clothes in new and interesting ways. Though it doesn't seem far off, we can only hope for a Balenciaga home collection.


Louis Vuitton Art Of Living

Louis Vuitton's focus on home goods throughout the years has slowly garnered the attention of décor addicts.

More recently, the house announced a line of small home accents and collectables including a colorful dice kit and branded cocktail shaker.


Altuzarra Home

Designer Joseph Altuzarra's spare time is oft spent antiquing or hunting for vintage treasure. His hobby made it quite easy to dive into interiors partnered with e-commerce site Etsy. “I wanted to express the universe of the brand, but in an interior way,” said Altuzarra. The home accent pieces are crafted by eight Etsy artisans across various fields from ceramics to weaving. Despite being made by different hands all around the globe, each item breathes a little of Altuzarra's flair into the home, whether through coasters made of espadrille materials or accents of cognac tones (the designer's signature color) in artful vases.
