Armani/Casa opens in Vancouver and doubles its store in Los Angeles

Elegant and fluid, the general effect is one of luxurious freshness, which is characteristic of the brand.

Giorgio Armani announce the opening of the Armani/Casa store at 1656 W 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia V6J 1H4, Canada. The underlying concept behind the Armani/Casa store (135 M2) is to create a distinctive atmosphere through a combination of products that range from furniture and furnishings to accessories, décor and fabrics - for both day and night zones - carefully selected for their compatibility in terms of shape, material and colour, and all displayed within a bright but softly lit environment.

Around the entire perimeter and within the space itself, the spaces are defined by double sheets of fine, platinum-coloured metal mesh spanning the entire height of the walls, an impalpable element that creates subtle divisions between the various settings, just like a design studio.

The dynamic, streamlined design of tables and displays underlines the sense of a constantly evolving project, a living environment and bold creativity. The main colour is platinum, with its soft, stylish look, contrasted here and there with the red and bottle green tones of objects and accessories. Elegant and fluid, the general effect is one of luxurious freshness, which is characteristic of the brand.

Also, Giorgio Armani announce the relocation of the Armani/Casa store in Los Angeles at the Pacific Design Center. The new store will move within the center to a space which is almost double the footage (460 square meters) than the previous location and boasts 9 glass windows around three sides, some to the outside of the mall, some to the inside.

It has been fitted with the current new concept first revealed in Milan’s flagship boutique on Corso Venezia which features sleek lines in pale oak, the signature wood chosen for the interiors, covering the interior walls and then thin, vertical slit platinum metal mesh screens hung from the ceiling to filter the light, allowing a muted view of the furniture displayed. A symbol of Armani/Casa, this simple lamp motif is found inside, carved in the wood panels that cover the walls on the ground floor.

The space will showcase the current season’s novelties, including furniture, lamps, upholstered pieces and accessories as well as wallcoverings, fabrics, rugs and textiles.
