The colours and sensations of Colombia and a discovery of artisan traditions arrive to Italy thanks to Marni.

The Marni Vereda is a place where colours, tastes and folklore are the backdrop to the new collection of furnishings and accessories of the brand that, this year, is enriched by new crafts and materials.

The now celebrated chairs explore unexpected forms; the backs open into striking peacock tails or take the shape of dreaming birds. The usual PVC weaves give way every so often to a new texture that has a loom-woven effect, bringing sinuous designs to life, an addition to the classical stripes and to the more linear geometric patterns.

Las Veredas are tiny urban settlements that develop around one or two streets or a cluster of houses, giving rise to small rural communities

Each of the items is hand made with care and contributes to a very special cause.

 

As with previous years, Marni’s Salone del Mobile project supports a children’s charity, and part of the profits from the sale of the products will finance “La casa sull’albero” project, promoted by Piccolo Principe S.C.S Onlus (www.piccoloprincipe.va.it), to give help to minors and their families who have taken the road to adoption and to fostering children in the province of Milan.

Marni La Vereda will be in Viale Umbria 42 from 19th to 22nd April.
