Furnished By Ferrari

For car aficionados, names like Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz conjure up images of speed, divine craftsmanship and impeccable style. But these traits need no longer be confined to the garage; some top luxury carmakers are now applying them to home furnishings.

The Tonino Lamborghini home collection, produced by Formitalia, reflects the power and elegance of the cars, as well as the irresistible Italian style of the brand (formitalia-tr.com). The six-seat Pista sofa (€20,550) is made of gray

ostrich and deer leather and looks dashing next to the black lacquered side table (€6,300); the Raceway chaise longue features white ostrich leather and nickel legs (€4,300). Their unusual shapes, crafted from exquisitely upholstered leather, mirror the high quality interiors of Lamborghini cars.

Those looking to make a bold statement in the kitchen can add striking pieces in trademark racy colors, including a red ostrich-leather double-door fridge (€14,000) and a yellow ostrich-leather wall clock (€400). For the bedroom, color combinations can be customized to suit the client's tastes. The Monza double bed is crafted from ostrich leather and dark brown oak (€9,500). Ostrich-leather Touring beds are available in single or double, and feature headboards made from veal leather worked to a luxurious suede-effect finish(single: €7,500; double: €8,500).

And, as with high-quality vehicles, in home design it's the smallest details that count. The Mercedes-Benz Lifestyle Collection includes a cut-glass candleholder (€52) and vase (€37) laser-engraved with the Mercedes logo (www2.mercedes-benz.co.uk). Ferrari sells an umbrella stand made of plexiglass and lined with fabric bearing images of the steering wheel and dashboard of a vintage Ferrari (€204; ferraristore.com). And for some quintessential English elegance, Aston Martin offers a range of merchandise sure to satisfy any 007 fan. A black leather CD holder comes embossed with the famous logo (€125), as does a tan watch case lined with black suede, which has room for three watches (€271; www.astonmartin.com). Car not included.
