“We have started to diversify the range, adopting a more varied approach. For example, in terms of bed linen, we previously utilised the same fabric for pillowcases, sheets and duvet covers. We’re now offering a wider choice, allowing customers to make unusual combinations,” said Caliri. “We’re keen to promote the outdoor section of the range, as well as table linens and curtains, where I’m trying to introduce more dynamic three-dimensional concepts, for example by resorting to materials normally used for clothes, pleated fabrics, and iridescent colours. Some of our wallpapers are printed on a metallic material, resulting in effects that vary between day and evening,” he added.

 
Among the Missoni Home novelties presented during Milan Design Week, the new Nastri (ribbons) line, in which jacquard fabrics available in six 3D-effect colourways are used to upholster seats, cushions and pouffes, such as the new Ciambellone and Panettone models. The same pattern features on cashmere throws, hexagonal coffee tables and other accessories, and is also the leitmotif of the Missoni Nastri tableware collection, produced and distributed under license by Arnolfo di Cambio.

Missoni Home is currently distributed in Italy, Northern Europe, America and Australia, but Caliri has ambitious goals: “The brand has a very strong identity, the real challenge will be to establish a presence in other regions and, above all, in the homes of people who are not yet [Missoni] fans.”  
 
Meanwhile, Caliri is working on a new project that will probably be unveiled at next September’s Milan Fashion Week

“We are developing a new line we are labelling ‘pleasurewear’, a reference to the pleasure of being well-dressed when at home: it will consist of knitwear, jersey items, silk and cotton pyjamas for women and men, featuring the iconic Missoni zigzag pattern and new prints too,” said Caliri.
