Fun on Friday: You Can Literally Wrap Yourself in Gold

How would you like to wrap yourself in gold?
I mean literally wrap yourself in gold.
You can do it if you check into the Seven Stars Ottagono Presidential Suite at the TownHouse Galleria, a 5-star luxury hotel in Milan. The room features specially crafted 24-carat gold sheets.
You’ll sleep like a baby wrapped in these golden sheets designed by Milanese jeweler Federico Buccellati. Unless of course you end up with insomnia worrying about how much money you just plunked for a hotel room.
Piana Clerico fabricates the golden sheets. The artisan manufacturer was founded in Milan in 1582. The Hong Kong Tatler tells us more about how these luxurious sheets are made.
The Piana family has a long-respected tradition for weaving gorgeous woolen textiles using precious materials and fibers, including gold yarn, cashmere, and silk. To make the sheets, Piana wove together its signature yarn, with a large content of 24-carat gold, accounting for 40% of the finished product. The shimmering sheets are a work of art – picture floral details and minute stitching, which glitters as natural light spills from the balcony into the bedroom.’
