Sì, Missoni’s gypsy-glam zigzags,
stripes and bright-as-a-Tuscan
sunset colors light up cocktail
dresses, sweaters and men’s ties.
But the exuberant Italian design
house’s rainbow patterns also
shine on its line of home items
— groovy bath towels, bright
bedding, plush poufs (shown,
$710), butterfly-print pillows
and curvy settees. The dolce vita
array, just in stock at Georgetown’s
Contemporaria (3303 Cady’s
Alley NW; 202-338-0193), makes
an ideal backdrop for lounging
around drinking glasses of Barolo,
maybe while cavorting on the
Divano Modular Sofa (components
$710-$3,885), a louche grouping of
slouchy seats in a wild floral print.
