Story

Milestones

1978

Gianni Versace founds the fashion house

Gianni Versace, born 1946 in Reggio Calabria, opens his first boutique on Via della Spiga in Milan and presents his debut collection at La Permanente in March. The original company, registered as Gianni Versace Donna, will grow into the global luxury house headquartered today at Piazza Luigi Einaudi 4, Milan.

1982

Move into housewares

Versace expands beyond fashion into jewellery, china and textiles for the home — the first foothold of what will later be formalised as Versace Home.

1988

The Greca (Greek Key) motif debuts

Gianni Versace introduces the Greek Key in the Fall-Winter 1988 ready-to-wear collection. Decades later, La Greca returns as a defining pattern across Versace Home upholstery and bed linen.

1989

Atelier Versace haute couture

The Atelier Versace haute couture line is launched, presented for the first time in Paris.

1992

Versace Home interiors launch

Versace becomes one of the first fashion houses to launch a dedicated home-interiors line — beginning with textiles and quickly expanding to porcelain tableware through a partnership with the German manufacturer Rosenthal that is still running today.

1994

Vanitas chair

The wooden Vanitas chair, the earliest dated piece in the Versace Home furniture canon, debuts. It will be re-upholstered in velvet and re-presented at Salone del Mobile 2025.

1997

Gianni Versace assassinated; Donatella becomes Creative Director

Gianni Versace is murdered outside his Miami Beach home, Casa Casuarina, on 15 July 1997. His sister Donatella Versace, who had been Vice President since 1978, becomes Creative Director — a role she will hold until 2025.

2014

Blackstone takes a minority stake

Blackstone purchases a 20% stake in Versace for €210 million — the brand's first non-family ownership.

2019

Capri Holdings acquires Versace

On 2 January 2019, Capri Holdings (the former Michael Kors group) closes its acquisition of Versace for approximately US$2.1 billion.

2020

Versace Home furniture licensed to Lifestyle Design Group

Versace signs a licence with Lifestyle Design Group — the Italian home-design division of US-based Haworth Group — for the production and distribution of Versace Home furniture. The licence covers furniture only; textiles and accessories remain in-house, ceramics continue under Rosenthal, and wallpaper and floor tiles stay with their respective licensees.

2023

Rosenthal × Versace turns 30

The Rosenthal × Versace partnership marks 30 years with a limited mug collection that revives a 1993 design — gold-toned Barocco motifs paired with a Medusa lid.

2024

"If These Walls Could Talk" at Palazzo Versace

Salone del Mobile installation at the brand's original Milan atelier on Via Gesù 12 debuts the Medusa '95 Conversation Sofa, La Greca Bed, Lady Desk, and Moon Island sofa and armchair.

2025

Prada Group acquires Versace

Announced 10 April 2025 and closed 2 December 2025: Prada Group acquires Versace from Capri Holdings for €1.25 billion (~US$1.375 billion). The same year Donatella Versace steps down as Chief Creative Officer (effective 12 March) and becomes Chief Brand Ambassador (1 April); Dario Vitale is appointed Chief Creative Officer.

Inside

Construction

Throne-like silhouette, modern tailoring

"An undisputed icon, the Medusa Trono sofa by Versace Home mixes a modern and youthful design and tailoring with beautifully detailed stitching" (manufacturer's own copy). "Trono" is Italian for throne — the silhouette cites the throne archetype in a contemporary register.

Curved wooden frame, polyurethane + fibrefill

Curved wooden frame padded with polyurethane and fibrefill. Seat cushions: polyurethane and fibrefill. Back cushions: polyurethane and feather — for a softer back register against the firmer seat.

Frame in non-removable leather

The visible frame — the throne shell — ships in non-removable leather. The manufacturer does not publish a fabric option for the frame; only the cushions accept fabric or leather to your spec.

Cushion covers — non-removable too

Cushion covers are also non-removable, in fabric or leather — the sofa ships sealed across both frame and cushions. Care is leather-care via professional service rather than spot-cleaning.

Fabrics & finishes

Throne-shell silhouette

Throne-shell silhouette

Detail of the throne-like shell — the curved leather-wrapped frame is the line's primary visual. The Medusa logo and brand-mark detailing keep the otherwise minimal silhouette firmly Versace.

Modules

Single configuration

159 × 85 × 84 H cm

One published size: 159 × 85 × 84 H cm. The 84 cm overall height is unusually tall for a sofa register — "throne"-scale, in keeping with the line's name. Compact width keeps it sized for an intimate room rather than a great-room.

    Medusa Trono family on the catalogue

    The Medusa Trono is a three-SKU family on the manufacturer's catalogue — armchair (90 × 85 × 84 H), sofa (this one, 159 × 85 × 84 H), and chair (52 × 56 × 80 H). The catalogue does not publish a launch year or a press date for this family. Contextual mentions surface only inside installation coverage (e.g. the Xi'an flagship and the Palazzo della Permanente exhibition).

FAQ

Frequently asked

One published configuration: 159 × 85 × 84 H cm. The 84 cm overall height is unusually tall for a sofa — "throne"-scale in keeping with the line's name ("Trono" is Italian for throne).

Three SKUs share this design language: an armchair (90 × 85 × 84 H cm), this sofa (159 × 85 × 84 H), and a slim throne-style dining/side chair (52 × 56 × 80 H cm). All three share the curved wooden frame, the leather-wrapped throne-shell silhouette, and the same back-cushion construction (polyurethane and feather).

No — neither the frame nor the cushions ship with removable covers. The frame is sealed in non-removable leather; the cushion covers are also non-removable, in fabric or leather to your spec. Care is leather-care via professional service.

The manufacturer's product page lists no metal-finish options for the sofa specifically. The companion Medusa Trono chair publishes a Medusa logo with polished gold or polished chrome finishing; the sofa keeps its branding lower-key, with the throne-shell silhouette as the primary visual mark.

The manufacturer's product page does not publish a designer attribution or a launch year for the Medusa Trono family. Contextual mentions surface only inside installation coverage (Xi'an flagship; Palazzo della Permanente) — neither dated. We record the SKU as undated until the manufacturer publishes a date.
