Visit Visionnaire\u2019s Luxe Showroom In London\u2019s Design District<\/h1>\n\n\n

Founded in 2004, Visionnaire<\/a>\u2019s roots actually date back to 1959, when Carlo, Pompeo, and Vittorio Cavalli established IPE, producing automotive upholstery in Bologna, Italy. Two years later, the company\u2019s first furnishing, Mercury, was unveiled at the inaugural Salone del Mobile. The armchair, based on a sketch by sculptor Rito Valla, was made of expanded polyurethane, a material rarely used in furniture at the time. Today, you can see (and sit on) Mercury at the company\u2019s new Italian-luxe showroom in London\u2019s Knightsbridge design district, a space that joins existing locations in Milan, Dubai, Miami, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. Two of the five floors are open at present, with more to come, all anchored by a sculptural staircase, curved armchairs by Alessandro La Spada, and organically shaped wool-silk rugs. Other hits from the brand are also on view, such as Studiopepe\u2019s Shibari chair based on Japanese rope binding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
