Reality is bound by realistic parameters, but fantasy is not. So while there's only so much space in our actual living rooms for everything we'd like to fit in there, in the Autoblog Fantasy Living Room, space is not an issue. There we can fit everything from <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/06/the-spy-who-loveseat-aston-martin-db6-sofa/">Aston Martin couches</a> to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/25/coffee-machine-pack-a-few-more-cylinders-into-your-living-room/">engine block coffee tables</a>. And we just might round it all out with an item or two from the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/fiat">Fiat</a> 500 Design Collection.<br />
<br />
The items are designed after the original <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/500">Fiat 500</a> and crafted as furniture by the innovative interior design company Meritalia in collaboration with Lapo Elkann, the Fiat chairman's brother <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/07/lapo-elkann-to-take-over-from-luca-di-montezemolo-as-ferrari-cha/">tipped</a> as a potential future chairman of <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ferrari">Ferrari</a>. The collection includes three pieces: the Picnic table (shown above), the Cin Cin bar counter and the Panorama sofa. Each replicates the front end of the original Cinquecento and is available in red, white, green or black. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/14/fiat-500-design-collection-joins-our-fantasy-living-room/#continued">Follow the jump </a>for the (regrettably) Italian-only press release, or follow <a href="http://www.fiat500design.com">th e link</a> to the collection's dedicated website.<br />
