It's a Family Affair


Can you keep a secret?  Not, really?  Well, no worries because the secret is out-- or soon to be for the masses.  Bolon by Missoni will be unveiled at the Missoni Showroom (Via Solferino, 9) next week in Milan during the Salone del Mobile.  Bolon, a cutting-edge Swedish flooring company, well-known as the first in the world to produce woven vinyl floor coverings, has a fabulous new collaborator (and my favorite Italian fashion house, http://jennifermicocciinteriors.blogspot.it/2011_01_01_archive.html): Missoni.  It makes perfect sense that the two companies would meld their ideas.  At the root they are the same: family companies with an amazing eye for detail.  Annica Eklund, Managing Director of Bolon explains, "The same philosophy about life, views about design, both Bolon and Missoni are strong family businesses with their own production lines, third-generation entrepreneurs, our products are woven-- as you can imagine, we see eye-to-eye on most things."  Based on classic Missoni patterns and their vibrant color ranges, Bolon by Missoni has reproduced three designs: Optical, Bayadere and Flame.  Ci vedremo a Milano!
