Missoni Home, Kalmar Lighting, J.T. Kalmar
Kalmar was founded in Vienna in 1881 by Julius August Kalmar as a producer of handcrafted metal objects. His son Julius Theodor Kalmar, known as J.T. Kalmar, took over in 1913 and transformed the company into an important modern lighting manufacturer. Trained in Birmingham and at the Vienna School of Applied Arts under Josef Hoffmann, J.T. Kalmar collaborated with architects including Josef Frank, Oskar Wlach, Ernst Plischke and Oswald Haerdtl.
Missoni was founded in Italy in 1953 by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni. The company became internationally known for colorful knitwear created with Raschel knitting machines, particularly its layered zigzag, stripe and geometric patterns. Missoni’s distinctive approach to color and textile design later extended from fashion into rugs, seating and home furnishings.
