Baleri Italia launched a new product line and a new fabric collection in the newly refurbished showroom?in Milan 2005, from designers Ilse Crawford, Arik Levy, Jeff Miller, Marcel Wanders, Hannes Wettstein and eb&c. The Baleri Italia?home embraces warmth and sensuous, luminous color. The showroom itself has been completely remodeled, designed by Ilse Crawford with the theme "Boy Meets Girl"

Crawford has created three installations representing three home environments - one that a man would decorate, one that a woman would decorate and one that a man and woman would decorate together. The showroom creates a?metaphor?in a?Baleri world in which men and women possess different complementary values and attributes and decorate their home together.

Crawford said:?"In this increasingly virtual world, we have a greater need for physicality: to touch, see and hear."

Tatino (image below) is a playful seating option, fun and childish in bright colours and touchable fabrics, soft and yielding when sat upon.
