Brand spotlight: Misha Milano
Unparalleled Wallpaper Hand Painted Silk Elegance
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.
The collections are designed in Italy and hand painted 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 The stunning designs retain age-old Asian themes, whilst synthesising both oriental and western historical references and imagery.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.
Through the refined aesthetic taste of Chinoiseries, the poetical influence of Japanese art, or the adventure conceived by the Grand Tour, the hand-painted collections reinterpret the age-old silk painting techniques in a contemporary way.
The precisely chosen range of solid colours, natural textures and metallic backgrounds transform decorative textile wallcoverings into a new material language. Like contemporary scenery, Misha creations bring the charm and elegance of a timeless design into your interiors.
The exclusive Misha hand-painted wallcoverings convey a unique interpretation of a distant culture. The painstaking in-house research, which combines design and fine craftsmanship, creates not only luxurious collections, but also a sophisticated and contemporary figurative language, raising painted fabric to the status of a work of art.
Range spotlight:
Asia Collection
The Asia collection combines the typical subjects of the Chinese iconic tradition with Japanese figurative overtones, while drawing inspiration from the entire Far East. The imagery reflects an extraordinary wealth of themes, drawing on oriental style and nature for inspiration in an erudite, refined figurative eclecticism. Abstract and asymmetrical compositions let the imagination roam freely, creating a game of outdoor vistas inside interiors.
Hume is the only company licensed to sell these products across Australia and New Zealand.
