Amidst plates adorned with kohl-highlighted eyes, tree-shaped cutlery, and ladybug glasses, Zara Home unveils an extraordinary interior belonging to none other than Marisa Berenson. With her capsule collection titled **The House of Marisa**, the 1970s icon transforms her flair for spectacular decor into whimsical yet sophisticated home objects.
This new **Zara Home collection by Marisa Berenson**, featuring approximately 45 pieces that launched online on June 5, 2026, as well as in select Zara stores and through a pop-in at Zara Ginza in Tokyo, does not emerge from thin air. It encapsulates a rich family history where Parisian salons, Christmas holidays in Switzerland, and a Moroccan riad weave a narrative centered around the art of hosting as a subtle spectacle. The story begins with her grandmother, Elsa.
Marisa Berenson: Heir to the Art of Entertaining by Schiaparelli
As the granddaughter of the renowned designer **Elsa Schiaparelli**, Marisa Berenson grew up in a Parisian mansion filled with art, leopard skins, and treasures collected from around the globe. Her grandmother's salons were frequented by luminaries like Salvador Dalí, Jean Cocteau, and other artist friends. "I grew up surrounded by art and beautiful things," Marisa Berenson shared with ELLE Decor. "My family has always been well-cultured. I have this love for beauty and interiors. I've always decorated my homes. If I weren't an actress, I would have been an interior designer. I simply adore creating universes, you know?"
Marisa's mother, Gogo Schiaparelli, continued this tradition with her festive table settings in the family's Christmas home in Switzerland, where guests like Gene Kelly and Greta Garbo would gather. This theatrical spirit is reflected in Marisa's compositions, which she continually reinvents in her riad in Marrakech. "The house has evolved since," Marisa Berenson recounts. "The garden is much more beautiful now. I've changed the decor, the patio, and the terrace. It keeps changing and developing, just like all of us."
The House of Marisa: An Eclectic Zara Home Collection
It is within this Moroccan setting, blending Venetian sofas, fountains adorned with Sevilla tiles, lush gardens, and Parisian antiques, that the capsule **The House of Marisa Berenson** was born. For nine months, the actress collaborated with the Zara Home teams, initiated by her friend Marta Ortega, president of Inditex. "This is something very personal for me," she confides regarding the collection. Each piece encapsulates a fragment of her life and is designed to fit seamlessly on both a rustic table and in an urban apartment.
At the heart of this vision lies symbolism, an inheritance from Elsa. "My grandmother loved symbols; she was very drawn to things that had meaning," Marisa Berenson explains. "I feel that too. I adore symbolic items and the beautiful universal mysteries. I am very oriented toward the spiritual world. I suppose I inherited that from her." This is reflected in the zodiac signs on the glassware and table linens, snakes and butterflies around the candlesticks, and Marisa's kohl-lined eye at the center of the plates.
For Marisa Berenson, setting a table is fundamentally an act of sharing. Whether in Marrakech or East Hampton, she blends colors, textures, and symbols to transport her guests immediately. This joy is something she succinctly captures. "It brings me so much joy," she expresses. "It’s all about the joy of living, enhancing life. The Zara Home collection is all that emotion concentrated into 45 small objects. They are accessible to everyone, allowing them to enrich their homes with a touch of joy, a hint of beauty, a dash of glamour, and a sprinkle of sophistication. It brings a bit of zest into life."
