Collina Strada has moved into homewares, gaining a debut collection of a modular sofa and four rug designs developed with Swedish interiors brand Layered. The launch followed Hillary Taymour’s spring 2027 runway at Storm King Art Center and opened to roughly 400 onlookers who then found the pieces on a grassy knoll beyond the catwalk.
The Story in Pictures
The collection centres on a low-slung, modular sofa offered in two patterns: one derived from the floor of Collina Strada’s Chinatown boutique and hand-painted by Taymour, the other lifted from a plaid seen in the fall 2026 collection. The four hand-tufted rugs are presented in four standard sizes and can be custom-cut, echoing the label’s color palette and playful house codes.
“You have to commit, or else it doesn’t feel genuine,” Taymour said, framing the aesthetic risk that underpins the collaboration. Layered’s CMO Sanna Fehrmann called Collina Strada’s approach provocative, saying, “Hillary challenges everything with her perspective,” and noting that the partnership was sparked in part by the brand’s spring 2025 “Touch Grass” show.
The setting underlined the crossover between fashion and interiors. Guests arrived by golf cart and encountered rugs used on the lawn and suspended as tapestries, Scandinavian-inspired small plates by food artist Joon Eats, and a DJ set from Oscar Nñ playing Addison Rae. The after-party kept an easy, lived-in tone, exactly what Taymour intended. “I wanted it to look like a ’70s swingers cabin in the woods,” she said.
Details speak to durability and domestic life as much as to look: the sofa’s wide-wale cotton corduroy is described as forgiving about stains, and the look book was shot at Taymour’s upstate house, which she is beginning to renovate. The initial assortment is modest in SKU count but strong in point of view, and Taymour has signalled further domestic ambitions. “My goal this year is to design sheets,” she said, with a laugh.
The collaboration marks Layered’s first partnership with a fashion label and signals how designers are translating brand identity into home goods. For Collina Strada, the move extends an alternative worldview, one where clothes, interiors and social life are part of a single creative stance.
