It's a family affair: Bolon by Missoni

What happens when award-winning Swedish design meets legendary Italian fashion? The answer will be revealed this spring when the results of a new, cross-border venture between two internationally renowned and highly regarded family businesses are unveiled. The Swedish flooring company Bolon has joined with the Italian fashion house Missoni to create its latest collection. This brilliantly coloured, uplifting and energising collection of exclusive woven floors gives new and exciting expression to Missoni's beloved and characteristic attributes.

"My sister Marie and I came into contact with Missoni a few years ago and we quickly found common ground. The same philosophy about life, views about design, both Bolon and Missoni are strong family businesses with their own production lines, third-generation entrepreneurs, our products are woven - as you can imagine, we saw eye-to-eye on most things. The idea of entering into a partnership also came naturally. As you know, we love finding new dimensions and setting ourselves new challenges. Creative collaborations, like this one with Missoni, give us the energy to shift into a higher gear," says Annica Eklund, Managing Director of Bolon.
