The FURLA Metropolis collection aims to link ancient tradition with modern technology, running the spectrum of baroque influencers to minimalism, exuberance to sobriety. Soft, supple and woven into the Vergolino fabric like a memory, akin to the thread connecting the elements of a story that spans over centuries, textile traditions are common to many cultures of the world. Keeping with the notion, FURLA has selected black, white and red shades that belong to any ethnic heritage.
