Playful new furniture from Aspesi and Vetsak is dressed to impress
The ‘Transformation’ collection includes a chunky, modular Vetsak sofa, pillows and blankets clad in Aspesi outerwear fabrics
In partnership with Vetsak
With avant-garde design, material innovation and minimalist aesthetics central to its brand DNA, Aspesi has been at the cutting edge of urban apparel since 1969. Fusing a future-facing approach with timeless silhouettes and styles, the Italian brand’s painstaking search for the most technical and versatile fabrics is always a key, creative tenet.
Now, Aspesi has worked with design brand Vetsak – best known for its retro furniture pieces in ultra-wide corduroy fabrics – to develop sofas and accessories inspired by its signature outerwear. The capsule collection represents a fusion of fashion and furnishing: Vetsak dressed in Aspesi.
Launched at Milan Design Week 2024 and now available for purchase, the collection consists of a modular sofa, complemented by blankets, big and ‘jumbo’ pillow sets and ‘cuddly pillows’ (in the shape of soft toys). Based on the hues of Aspesi’s celebrated nylon parachute puffers, the colourways span popsicle brights, utilitarian greens, and shades of blue, grey and black.
‘Vetsak’s philosophy of creating modular and versatile products that seamlessly adapt to people’s daily lives reflects exactly what we aim to offer with our garments. Versatility in everyday life is what makes our brands so complementary.’
The new collection is available to purchase on vetsak.com and from selected furniture retailers. The accessories (not the sofa) are available also at Aspesi stores in Milan, Turin, Rome and Munich.
