Inspired by Missoni's heritage, MISSONI SKY promises to redefine luxury living with its masterful blend of artistic expression and modern functionality. The tower will showcase Missoni's signature geometric style, seamlessly integrating the brand's iconic zigzag patterns and vibrant colour harmonies into every element — from the expansive lobbies and rooftop terraces to the fashion-inspired amenities and sophisticated interiors of the exclusive residences.

"MISSONI SKY represents the successful translation of our brand's style into an immersive living experience," said Alberto Caliri, Creative Director of Missoni Home. "This development brings Missoni's artistic essence to life, infusing every corner of the tower with our distinctive approach."

Elevating the Art of Luxury Living

MISSONI SKY's design pays homage to Missoni's rich artistic legacy, featuring the brand's use of bold colors, iconic patterns, and intricate details across its furnishings, textiles, and wallpapers. Each space within the tower exudes a modern, unmistakable Missoni ambiance, creating a harmonious blend of beauty and functionality. From the meticulously curated interiors to the spectacular amenities, every element of the tower will embody the brand's heritage, offering residents an environment where they can craft their own legacy amidst beauty and harmony.

To bring this vision to life, Missoni teamed up with Toronto-based design studio II BY IV DESIGN. Known for their innovative approach, II BY IV DESIGN has adeptly translated Missoni's fashion-forward ethos into the tower's interiors. "Working with Missoni has been an incredible journey, allowing us to craft living spaces that feel like stepping into a piece of art – modern, bold, and timeless," said Dan Menchions, Principal at II BY IV DESIGN.

A Beacon of Contemporary Architecture

Located in the vicinity of the King-Jarvis design district in downtown Toronto, MISSONI SKY will stand as a beacon of contemporary architecture. The tower's sleek, modern silhouette emerges from an elegant eight-storey brick podium that will house a boutique hotel, restaurants, and luxurious residential spaces. Rising above the podium is a striking glass tower offering panoramic views of Lake Ontario and beyond. Designed by the award-winning CORE Architects, the building "pushes creative boundaries and sets a new standard for urban living in Toronto," said Deni Poletti, lead architect at CORE Architects.

A Sustainable Vision for the Future

MISSONI SKY will set a new standard for eco-conscious development. In line with Amexon's Green Development Standard, MISSONI SKY will integrate numerous cutting-edge environmental initiatives, including EV charging stations in every parking space, underscoring Amexon's commitment to sustainable luxury living, placing Missoni Sky at the forefront of sustainable development in Canada.
"We are delighted to be working with Amexon on Missoni SKY interiors design project in Toronto, and excited to be furnishing the finest fabrics and design throughout this incredible tower," said Livio Proli, Missoni CEO. "Our creative team has come together to design bespoke luxury interiors that perfectly compliment the urban surroundings".
