In the new Diesel Home offerings of bedding and textiles, the Trompe l'oeil collection of photo-realistic printed fabrics include this sofa throw with a Chesterfield-like pattern of tufted buttons...

 
 

Other designs include bedsheets printed with a pattern of photo-realistic metal studs! We can't wait to see more! This collection has already launched in Europe, and is scheduled to be available in the States this Spring.

That Chesterfaux is Real Tacky.

I think it's silly and funny. I could see this working in a dorm room or somesuch, in an environment with really crappy furniture.

It made me laugh. It has a nice masculine vibe and I think it would be great in an young man's apartment. Goodness knows, men have been forced to endure generations of furniture throws that look suspiciously like they came from some old cat lady's apartment, with horrid florals or some of that trendy 60s (barf) green.

As someone who desperately wants a chesterfield sofa, but will probably never be able to afford one, this might be my only hope.

No way. I just don't get the decor based on illusion, such as posters of bookshelves, prints of headboards above the bed and blankets that look like sofas. I just think it's tacky.

I don't particularly like the color, but I do think it's funny. It could be used effectively.

I think it's funny. I bet it looks much better in the photo than it would in real life, though.

I'm with d-love. That stuff is just strange to me.

And, yuck is right.

Not a fan of throws...disguise it if you must, but it's still an ugly throw.

Voted hot for the sheer amusement factor. I don't think it's intended to be high fashion, guys - it's supposed to be more, uh, smartarsed.

Someone at Diesel is trying way too hard. As usual.

I am chesterfield obsessive, half my blog is dedicated to chesterfields. While I would not put this in my home, I do find it humorous and whimsical.

Not hot. It reminds me of those stupid t-shirts that have fake tuxedos printed on them. Funny for about a minute.

I think blatant faux is [can be?] witty.

Voted hot just because it was so weird, and then became funny.It could work somewhere- take up that challenge AT!

I love AT because it makes me see things in a new way and think about why I - or anyone- likes one style or another. A visual picnic every day-- thank you!
