COLOUR MEETS CRAFT

“You need only to behold one of our furnishings or caress a fabric to immediately perceive its foundational values: impeccable craftsmanship, love for the fatto a mano (handmade), respect for tradition and the quest for innovation,” say Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. “The senses of sight, touch, hearing and smell are constantly stimulated by our creations, which all contribute to the dream of building a habitat tailored to your personality, your passions and your tastes.”

According to the designers, a home is after all a place that best reflects who we are, that protects us from the outside world – but at the same time allows us to open up to it. Italian culture and beauty have always been their main sources of inspiration, and Dolce & Gabbana’s Casa collection is no different.
