Armani/Casa at<br />
this year’s Milan<br />
Furniture Fair.<br />
- Armani/Casa -<br />
With a name that speaks proudly of sleek lines,<br />
sophistication and heady scents, Armani<br />
hasn’t shied away from turning its hands to interior<br />
design. For the past 19 years, Armani/Casa has been<br />
producing items for every room of the house, and it all<br />
started with a lamp Giorgio Armani designed in 1982.<br />
From the Logo lamp came the first store in 2000,<br />
but four years on, it was time to add an interior design<br />
studio to satisfy clients who just couldn’t get enough of<br />
that Armani touch – one that is all about subtle luxury,<br />
achieved through meticulous detail, fine materials and<br />
nothing positioned without a purpose.<br />
The new collection was revealed in Milan, where,<br />
once again, the brand’s Oriental influences were seen<br />
in motifs and patterns throughout textile, accessory<br />
and tableware items. Light blue, blue, red and pale<br />
gold formed the palette, with the design dialogue<br />
including clean, contemporary and exotic. Whether it’s<br />
a rug, the woven leather Onda chaise lounge or a set<br />
of playing cards (for a game of memory), if the bank<br />
balance allowed, we can certainly see how Giorgio’s<br />
promised sense of well-being could be achieved when<br />
surrounded by such items.<br />
