Misha Milano
Our Christmas treat!
Misha adds a poetic, expressive dimension to contemporary interiors.
Two sisters, two cities!
Misha is an Italian company that specialises in creating exquisite hand-painted wallpapers. The name Misha represents a merger between the two cities, Milan and Shanghai. The company was founded in 2007 by two sisters who discovered a passion for hand painted silk while living in Shanghai. The artistic form dates back to 17th century China.
Misha is a haute couture atelier
Misha is distinguished by its ability to elevate the concept of decoration into true art. Each piece is the result of an extensive creative process that combines Eastern painting techniques with European perspective techniques, transforming wall coverings into actual works of art. Hand-embroidered details, crafted with silk threads, enrich every creation, giving a three-dimensional effect that enhances the depth and preciousness of the designs. The careful selection of the artisans and the extreme quality of their work are the factors that set Misha apart. With its flexible structure and patient process of honing exclusive products to a very high level of quality, Misha is a haute couture atelier.
Exacting Materials
Misha applies the same level of artistic perfection to the base materials used in the creative process. There is an exacting focus applied to ensure the tactile qualities of different silks, the textures of metal leaf applied by hand, and the luminosity of powders brushed onto the surfaces all deliver on the creative promise. The colour range is updated each year to adapt to new trends. Wallpaper collections are made in Pure Silk, Dupion Silk or Double Silk, Metallic and Natural wallcoverings, which trigger different effects for the design. The choice of background is a key factor in the interior design and in the impact of the motifs of each wallcovering.
Artisanal Embroidery
At Misha, craftsmanship has always been at the heart of everything they do. Known for hand-painted and embroidered silk wallcoverings, they continue to explore new creative horizons while staying true to their artisanal heritage. At Milan Design week this year Misha unveiled ‘Trame’ a collaboration with Paola Lenti of hand embroidered raffia-on-sisal wallcovering. The exhibition showcased a sophisticated interplay of handwoven fabrics with luminous, textured, and natural surfaces, through refined materials such as silk, natural fibers, raffia, and embroidery.
Launching Intrecci – natural woven wallcoverings
Misha has now launched an exciting new wallcovering collection that interweaves raffia, jute, and cotton in a delicate choreography of texture and light. Each weave carries the quiet rhythm of handwork, a gesture of patience, precision, and artistry passed through generations of skilled makers. The Intrecci collection features more than 60 unique variations of pattern, offering textiles in raffia, cotton, and jute. These materials, all natural and handcrafted, can be applied to walls or used for curtains and general upholstery. The collection enriches Misha’s wallcovering textures with a new dimension of artisanal elegance.
Hume is the only company licensed to sell these products across Australia and New Zealand.

The Misha collections are designed in Italy and hand crafted by Chinese artisans with many years of training and experience. The stunning designs retain age-old Asian themes, whilst synthesising both oriental and western historical references and imagery. The artistic quality of the products is what sets them apart: like frescos, wallcoverings become a form of expression that contribute to the design composition of interior spaces.
