Diesel Lifestyle with Cool Furniture & Textiles

Monday October 26, 2009

IMHO, Diesel’s Liftestyle collection – the home textile and furniture & lighting range – has led a secluded existence. If my information is correct, the “home collection” is 6 months old – and I haven’t yet seen it everywhere! The furniture is manufactured in collaboration with Moroso, lighting with Foscarini and home textiles with Zucchi. There are some really nice pieces in the Successful Living design. I particularly fancy this cool stool and the lovely-coloured textile below.

At the moment, the Swedish Residence magazine is holding a vote on whether to love or hate the Diesel Nebula Nine sofa, below. This stone-washed linen sofa is “soft like a large cloud”! I couldn’t say I love it, so I reluctantly pressed hate. At the time of my vote, there were 90 participants: 79 % for love, 21 % hating. And oh, there’s a great comment to it: “The sofa looks like an unmade bed.” It surely looks inviting for a nap. Would you?
