The Mercedes-Benz brand name holds up well in any company, so it's not surprising that is being extended into other luxury markets. This time last year we were writing about Mercedes' first luxury helicopter, and the big news from the Milan Furniture Fair (Salone Internazionale del Mobile) is that Mercedes-Benz Style has presented a furniture collection and it will be sold worldwide via exclusive furniture stores, showrooms and interior design stores from October 2012.

The initial Mercedes-Benz Style furniture collection comprises one sofa, chaise lounge, sideboard, dining room table with chairs, shelf unit with integrated home theater system, bed and chest of drawers

The collection is a collaboration with the Formitalia Luxury Group, one of the leading Italian manufacturers of designer furniture.

It would be neat if they came out with some Smart (car) furniture. :)
That furniture looks retro yet high tech. :) IMO.
