Fashion house [Bottega Veneta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-homeware-collection) introduces a special Spring 2025 show with a childhood theme during Milan Fashion Week to showcase the Ark collection. It is a capsule of [lounge chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parka-sofa) that is inspired by the biblical story of [Noah's Ark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noahs-ark-nursery). Creative director Matthieu Blazy wants to create a sense of playfulness in the show that could be integrated into a child's bedroom.

There are 15 different creatures of mammals, birds, insects, dogs, pandas, otters, and much more. Blazy shares, "It was the idea of The Ark: a joyful world with a sense of wonder, populated by friendly companions that make you smile and say 'wow'. I hope this sense of wonder continues every time people come across them, whether at home or elsewhere."
