This collection is created as part of a collab between Donatella Versace and the famous duo of design architects: Roberto Palomba and Ludovica Serafini. From runway to the home. the brand’s new La Greca pattern forms a jacquard that dresses furnishings, elevating the look of any room.

 

Additionally, the house’s signature Medusa, Barocco and Trésor de la Mer motifs give three-dimensionality to the details of sofas and chairs, coffee tables, beds and lampshades, mirrors and cabinets.
