Mercedes Benz - From Luxury Cars to Luxury Furniture




The name Mercedes Benz evokes images of luxury and finesse. Mercedes cars are coveted for two reasons: the luxury of their materials and craftsmanship, and Merc's uncanny ability to infuse an inanimate object with so much sex appeal. The German automaker, Mercedes, together with Italian furniture manufacturer Formitalia Luxury Group, unveiled a complete collection of home goods at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, comprising a sofa, chaise longue, dining room table with chairs, shelf unit, bed, and chest of drawers. Mercedes' foray into home decor and furniture brings luxury, sleek styles and class to one's room, and not just one's garage anymore!.

 


The pieces in the collection feature subtle hints that they were crafted by a car manufacturer such as the abundance of leather and aluminum. The rolling lines and accent stitching lend the luxury furniture line's black leather sofa an uncanny resemblance to a car's backseat, while the smooth streamline of the Mercedes chaise longue has an aerodynamic quality to it. The designs also include a futuristic, finely-tuned aluminum sideboard's glass panel, not unlike a car door, and the legs of a glass table, designed in the same vein as sculpted spokes. The Mercedes-Benz furniture collection was on view at the Daimler Milan showroom, and is set to be available all over the globe from the end of this year.
