Kaleidoscope Eyes
The Missoni brand is known for bold color
palettes seemingly caught in a frozen firework of textures and patterns.
Geometrics, florals, stripes, abstracts, each
Missoni print is designed to make a visually striking statement, in expressions
of wearable and livable art.
Based in Varese, Italy, Missoni traces its
roots to 1953, when Ottavio and Rosita Missoni decided to use a scarf machine
to knit dresses instead. The light-as-air fabrics in candy-bright colors remain
an editorial and fashion favorite, giving the brand an iconic stature in a land
of fashion giants.
The Missoni palette has since expanded to
decorative home furnishings and textiles, extending its kaleidoscope canvas to
go beyond the sartorial sentence into an imperative of interior design.
The Fabric of Family
The vaunted house of Missoni, now in its 3rd
generation, prides itself for weaving a pattern of success that is more about
family and relationships as it is about business and fashion.
Ottavio and Rosita, along with their three
children, are interwoven by the fine threads of familial bond. There is a
pattern of warmth, whimsy and strength that surfaces from every Missoni print,
a tight weave that is ever buoyant, resilient and full of spirit.
Indeed, it is this thread of family that
renders the Missoni brand as unmistakable and vibrant; strands of various
colors and characters woven together in a pattern that is bursting with life.
For this familial passion and love for
quality craftsmanship and design, Century Properties is honored to partner with
Missoni, creating the first and only Missoni-branded homes in the world.
