5 designers with homewear lines From Rick Owens' brutalism to Alexander Michael's décor

Originally fashion was only about clothes but, over the decades, the world of great designers has begun to broaden its creative vision to lifestyle in the most total sense of the term. This creative expansion has led several creative fashion directors and designer-artists to start their own homeware and furniture lines, transferring their aesthetic sensibilities to everyday objects. The list of 5 designers with homeware lines that follow therefore wants to be as wide as possible: from the now-famous décor line by Gucci to the conceptual décor of Daniel Arsham passing through the brutalist luxury of Rick Owens, to the elucubrations of Raf Simons and the minimalist Gothic by Ann Demeulemeester. 

Alessandro Michele/Gucci Décor

When he doesn't create marble artwork and quartz crystals, when he doesn't collaborate with Dior or IKEA, and when he's not busy painting paintings that will carpet art galleries around the world, Daniel Arsham, along with Alex Mustonen and the rest of the Snarkitecture studio team, also produces home design. The latest collection, in collaboration with Gufram, is called The Broken Series includes a mirror, bench and wall frame all composed of polyurethane – objects that with their "broken" aesthetic want to suggest the idea of a distortion of reality with soft materials and imitate the concrete and the shape of the mirror that creates an optical illusion that makes it look like an open gap to another dimension.
