The Missoni Home line was added to the company’s product range in 1983 and features colorful collections of furnishings, textiles, and décor characterized by unusual fabrics, whimsical prints, and simple shapes.

The line follows Rosita Missoni’s philosophy for living: “The home is alive. It’s constantly evolving and never finished… Furnishing my way means creating a habitat that’s ordered yet informal, versatile and welcoming.”

As Rosita’s niece, Jelmini has worked in the family business for 31 years.

“Inspiration can be captured at any and every moment,” she says. “We take out forms, shapes and colors and start by experimenting with how they could be applied in a new way.”

The Interior Design Show will run from January 22-25, 2015, showcasing hot-topic design trends and the most innovative of international and Canadian design.
