Dolce & Gabbana Casa opens the doors to its first two dedicated spaces in Milan. Unveiled during Milan Design Week 2022, the two spaces will showcase the fashion house’s rich collections of furniture and accessories, including home textiles, Murano glassware and Sicilian ceramics.

‘With Dolce&Gabbana Casa we wanted to create a unique lifestyle,’ say Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who together launched their fashion brand in the 1980s, adding the Casa line in 2021, with a debut during the Venice Alta Moda presentation.

The home furnishings and accessories debut comprises four distinctive collections, each embodying a different Italian spirit. ‘Blu Mediterraneo’ features sensual motifs in the colour of the sea, while ‘Carretto’ looks at unique Sicilian aesthetics and craft, distilled in a series of bright, colourful patterns reminiscent of Maiolica. Finally, ‘Zebra’ and ‘Leopardo’ embody a different Dolce & Gabbana spirit, with animal prints distinctively taking over furniture surfaces and accessories. 

‘The home is, after all, the 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, welcoming it into our own domestic walls.’ The Dolce & Gabbana home, like the brand’s fashion, is inspired by Italian culture and beauty, with traditional patterns, colours and materials found throughout the collection.

‘Over the years, these elements have been reinterpreted in a unique lifestyle, conceived in the spirit of the Dolce Vita and the joie de vivre,’ continue the designers. ‘Whether in the Faraglioni of Capri, in the blue of Sicily’s sea, in the golden beaches of our coasts, or in the pizza, the pasta, and the sundry sweets that distinguish our culinary tradition, there dwells an extraordinary poetry, a taste for the beautiful and the well-made that for centuries have regaled the world with unique emotions.’

The collections are divided between two locations in Milan: a new space on Corso Venezia 7 is the destination for home accessories, while the brand’s furniture is available at a second space, on Via Durini 23, created with Luxury Living Group.
