French luxury brand Bugatti recently launched the Bugatti Home Collection. This isn't as far-fetched as some might think because Ettore Bugatti's family, the original founders, weren't automotive engineers at all. His grandfather was an architect; his brother a renowned bronze sculptor; his uncle a landscape painter and Carlo Bugatti, the patriarch, made jewelery and furniture. The collection consists of the Royale sofa, the Art Deco Atlantic coffee table and the re-imagined Cobra chair (pictured). The original was created by Carlo Bugatti in 1902 and is a design classic.
