BARCELONA


PRADA OPENS IN BARCELONA

Prada opens a new store in Barcelona in Paseo de Gracia, a few steps from Gaudí’s La Pedrera. The boutique offers women’s and men’s collections of ready-to-wear, leather goods, accessories and footwear. Designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi, it is one of Prada’s biggest European stores, occupying a total area of 1600 square metres on a single level. The façade blends harmoniously into that of the beautiful old building hosting the store. The entrances and store windows exhibit the brand’s classic materials, such as black metal and burnished brass, which complement the building’s cast iron columns. The entrances lead to two very different settings. The women’s area features a perspective sequence of black marble and mirror portals flanked by elegant polished steel cabinets with black marble drawers, used for displaying leather goods and accessories. The veined black and white marble floor, the green canvas walls and the brightly coloured counter displays create a setting that is both sophisticated and exclusive, carefully studied for each individual product. The sequence of portals leads to a raised room; this, too, is devoted to leather goods. Here, the black and white marble floor is replaced by soft beige carpeting, the steel cabinets are succeeded by Prada’s traditional display niches set into green canvas-lined walls. This is followed by two large rooms, the first hosting a special selection of Made to Order accessories, the second given over to footwear. The soft effect of the walls and the refinement of the polished-steel and glass tables are enhanced by the deep green velvet of ‘Clover Leaf’ sofas designed by Verner Panton and reproduced exclusively for Prada. The last room, featuring womenswear, is lined with green canvas and furnished with Perspex display cases, clear skylights, Perspex and steel tables in original, geometric shapes and green velvet seating, creating an intimate, captivating ambiance. A major detail of this room is the large window, framed in beautiful, black marble, that opens onto the outdoor garden. The masculine character of the men’s area is defined by the flooring of thin Saint Laurent marble slabs and walls finished in bright orange encaustic work. The leather goods and accessories collections are in the first room. A Saint Laurent marble staircase leads to the footwear and ready-to-wear department, where orange ostrich-leather walls and sofas and ebony floorboards create a bold setting with a strong character. Palladium and glass cabinets and counters with colourful displays complete the furnishings. The Made to Measure project is presented in a dedicated area with green saffiano leather-lined walls. The inner courtyard, reached via a travertine staircase, is particularly stunning. The green marble walls and the cast iron columns – a legacy of this elegant old building – reveal an intimate space reserved for the most discerning clientele; it can also be accessed from the women’s area.
 
 







 
 
PRADA INAUGURA A BARCELLONA

 Prada inaugura un nuovo negozio a Barcellona, sul Paseo de Gracia a pochi passi da La Pedrera di Gaudì. La boutique offre le collezioni femminili e maschili di abbigliamento, pelletteria, accessori e calzature. Lo spazio, uno dei più grandi negozi Prada in Europa, è progettato dall’architetto Roberto Baciocchi e si estende su un unico livello per una superficie totale di 1600 metri quadrati. La facciata si inserisce in modo armonioso nella cornice del palazzo storico; gli ingressi e le vetrine, caratterizzati dai materiali classici del marchio, quali il metallo nero e l’ottone brunito, si combinano alle colonne in ghisa dell’edificio. I due ingressi introducono in ambienti molto diversi tra loro. L’area donna presenta una prospettica sequenza di portali in marmo nero e specchio, ai lati dei quali si sviluppano preziose teche in acciaio lucido con cassetti in marmo nero, dedicate all’esposizione di pelletteria e accessori. Il pavimento in marmo bianco e nero venato, le pareti in tela verde, i colori accesi del display dei banchi creano un ambiente prezioso ed esclusivo, studiato per ogni specifico prodotto. La sequenza di portali conduce a una stanza sopraelevata, dedicata anch’essa alla pelletteria. Da qui il marmo bianco e nero del pavimento si trasforma in morbida moquette beige, le teche in acciaio lasciano il posto alle tradizionali buche Prada, interpretate su pareti in tenda di tela verde. Seguono due grandi ambienti: il primo dedicato a una speciale selezione di accessori Made to Order; il secondo alle calzature. La leggerezza delle pareti e la preziosità dei tavoli in acciaio lucido e cristallo è esaltata dal velluto verde intenso dei divani “Clover Leaf”, progettati da Verner Panton e riprodotti in esclusiva per Prada. L’ultima stanza, dedicata all’abbigliamento donna, è completamente rivestita in tenda di tela verde e presenta espositori in lame di perspex, lucernari trasparenti, tavoli in perspex e acciaio dalle originali geometrie e sedute in velluto verde, che rendono l’ambiente intimo e seducente. Di particolare rilievo la grande vetrata - incorniciata da prezioso marmo nero - che si apre sul giardino esterno. Il carattere maschile dell’area uomo è definito dal pavimento a doghe sottili in marmo Saint Laurent e dalle pareti in encausto arancione acceso. La prima stanza è dedicata alle collezioni di pelletteria e accessori. Una scala in marmo Saint Laurent conduce all’area calzature e abbigliamento, dove le pareti e i divani in struzzo color arancio e il pavimento in legno di ebano a doghe rendono l’ambiente grintoso e di carattere. Teche e banchi in metallo palladio e cristallo con display colorati completano l’arredo. Il progetto Made to Measure è proposto in un ambiente dedicato rivestito in tenda di saffiano verde. Di particolare rilievo, la corte interna cui si accede tramite una scalinata in travertino. Le pareti in marmo verde e le colonne in ghisa, eredità dello storico palazzo, lasciano intravedere uno spazio intimo, dedicato alla clientela più esigente, accessibile anche dall’area donna.

Lo spazio interno č organizzato secondo un susseguirsi di stanze, ciascuna definita da una propria geometria e dalla scelta accurata dei materiali.

L’area dedicata alle calzature donna presenta pareti in tenda di tela verde dagli angoli stondati con scenografici tagli che ospitano le buche espositive e un pavimento in moquette beige.

For Men Only

 
 
A NEW IMAGE FOR PRADA IN NEW IMAGE
Prada renews its men's store in Via Monte Napoleone 6, Milano with a project designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi. The inside space, arranged on three floors, occupies a total surface of 860 square metres. Outside, the storefront, that respects the building’s original architecture, features a new, wide central entrance creating an immediate visual connection between the store’s inside and the city.
The ground floor and first floor offer the leather goods, accessories, footwear and ready-to-wear collections. The Prada Made to Order service provides for the possibility to customise garments, accessories and footwear by choosing among different materials, finishes and colours.
On the second floor, the Made to Measure service is available: a project designed to meet the expectations of the most demanding male customers, whereby a wide range of "bespoke" variations of suits, coats, jackets, shirts and trousers are created.
A new combination between the masculine, contemporary character of the location and an apparent dissonance in the choice of materials and finishes characterises the ground floor. The black and white chequered marble floor, one of Prada’s historic brand identity elements, contrasts against the walls clad in natural aluminium corrugated panels, an experimental material looking like a 1950s industrial finish.
Also, the traditional beamed ceiling architectural theme is interpreted by matching the classic Prada pale green with aluminium details. The upper floor, about 220 square metres large, is an open space, characterised by ebony wood floors and aluminium panels covering the walls completely.
This environment is rhythmically arranged with a wall made of an evenly spaced sequence of windows and a long black marble colonnade, interrupted by the marble stairs and by the crystal elevator casing connecting all the floors. Light metal and crystal frames are used to display products, whilst bright red, green and blue saffiano leather is used in the design of display counters.
Furniture is completed by seats and sofas made of precious ostrich leather in the same colours. The top floor, bright with daylight, is clad in thin staves of wood. The masculine, atelier-like flair of this space is interpreted in a more intimate key here; the product display also highlights the welcoming character of this environment, which is dedicated to special collections and the Made to Measure service.








 
UNA NUOVA IMMAGINE PER PRADA IN VIA MONTE NAPOLEONE
Prada rinnova il suo negozio dedicato alle collezioni maschili e sito in Via Monte Napoleone 6, Milano, con un intervento curato dall’architetto Roberto Baciocchi. Lo spazio interno, suddiviso su tre piani, occupa una superficie totale di 860 metri quadrati.
Il fronte esterno, rispettando l’architettura originale del palazzo, presenta un nuovo ampio ingresso centrale che mette in immediata relazione visiva lo spazio del negozio con la città. Il piano terra e il primo piano sono dedicati alle collezioni di pelletteria, accessori, calzature e abbigliamento. Il servizio Prada Made to Order offre la possibilità di personalizzare capi d’abbigliamento, accessori e calzature, scegliendo tra diversi materiali, finissaggi e colori.
Il secondo piano è dedicato al servizio Made to Measure: progetto volto a soddisfare le richieste della clientela maschile più sofisticata ed esigente, permettendo di realizzare in un‘ampia gamma di varianti abiti, cappotti, giacche, camicie e pantaloni “su misura”.
Il piano terra propone un nuovo accostamento tra il carattere maschile e contemporaneo degli spazi e un’apparente dissonanza nella scelta di materiali e finiture. Il pavimento a scacchi in marmo bianco e nero, identità storica del marchio Prada, contrasta con le pareti rivestite da pannelli in lamiera ondulata in alluminio naturale, un materiale sperimentale, di carattere industriale anni ‘50.
Inoltre, il tradizionale tema architettonico del soffitto a travi viene interpretato accostando il classico verde pallido Prada a dettagli in alluminio. Lo spazio al piano superiore, di circa 220 metri quadrati, è un ambiente aperto, caratterizzato da un pavimento in legno di ebano e da pannelli in alluminio che rivestono interamente le pareti.
 
Il ritmo dell’ambiente è scandito dalla parete composta da una sequenza regolare di finestre un lungo colonnato in marmo nero, interrotta dalle scale in marmo e dal volume in cristallo dell’ascensore che collega tutti i livelli. Leggeri telai in metallo e cristallo espongono il prodotto, mentre i toni accesi del saffiano rosso, verde e blu compongono il disegno dei banchi espositivi.
Completano l’arredo, le sedute e i divani in preziosa pelle di struzzo negli stessi colori. L’ultimo piano, illuminato dalla luce naturale, presenta un rivestimento in legno a doghe sottili. Il carattere maschile e sartoriale dello spazio è qui interpretato in chiave più intima; anche l’esposizione del prodotto sottolinea i toni accoglienti dell’ambiente, dedicato alle collezioni speciali e al servizio Made to Measure.

KARL LAGERFELD - CONCEPT STORE IN AMSTERDAM

KARL LAGERFELD TO OPEN EUROPEAN CONCEPT STORE
IN AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
 
 
 
 
 
KARL LAGERFELD is pleased to announce the opening of its Amsterdam concept store, located at Hartenstraat 16, in spring 2013. As part of an international rollout of store openings, the Amsterdam location will feature KARL LAGERFELD’s contemporary concept – first revealed at its new Paris store, which opened February 28, 2013. Additional locations are set to open throughout 2013 in other major European cities , followed by an expansion still this year into the Asian market.
The KARL LAGERFELD Amsterdam store will combine the brand’s accessible luxury collections with cutting‐edge digital technology and Lagerfeld’s iconic design aesthetic. The store will be located in the picturesque Jordaan district, in a charming 18thcentury listed building. Original structural elements have been preserved and incorporated into the newly renovated design. As customers journey through the 150‐sq‐m space, their visit will encapsulate the KARL LAGERFELD experience. The entire interior décor reflects the distinctive essence of the brand; modern features combine with classic accents, while shiny and matte elements juxtapose black and white compositions.
The ground floor space will showcase women’s ready‐to‐wear, footwear, eyewear, accessories and a unique assortment of gifts such as Lagerfeld’s favorite photography and design books. Venturing down a flight of stairs to the lower ground floor, guests will discover men’s ready‐to‐wear, eyewear
and accessories. All the while, mirrors and walls of light will illuminate and enhance the collection displays.
Beyond fashion and accessories collections, the store will also embrace KARL LAGERFELD’S affinity and connection to the digital world, doubling as a virtual window to Karl Lagerfeld himself. The Amsterdam location will create unparalleled, engaging ways for consumers to connect with the multi‐faceted brand.
Shoppers can use a digital Guestbook on iPads, where they can view the latest collections and news, watch videos, surf Karl.com, and take photos of their favorite items. They will also be invited to personally contact Karl Lagerfeld by leaving a note for the designer. Fitting rooms will be equipped with unique Photobooths; built‐in touchscreens will allow shoppers to photograph their looks and apply various Karl‐inspired filters to their photos. They can share these images via Facebook, Twitter, and email.
Meanwhile, iPad minis will be integrated into display racks, inviting visitors to explore the entire collection online. The shopping experience concludes at the check out; payment can be made quickly and efficiently using a mobile device.
"I'm delighted we are expanding our retail presence in such an up‐and‐coming location as the ‘9 straatjes’ in Amsterdam,” says Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of KARL LAGERFELD. “The area fits perfectly the cool and vibrant feel of our brand. We will be able to equally interact with fashion interested locals as well as international travelers."
Amsterdam is an ideal location for the KARL LAGERFELD store, as the city is also home to the company’s offices of roughly 50 employees. The boutique’s location in the Jordaan district has been carefully selected, as it is recognized as a hub for both young designers and global fashion brands.
The neighborhood is known for its “9 Straatjes” or “9 little streets” area brimming with quaint cafés and boutiques.
The KARL LAGERFELD Amsterdam concept store will open as of May, 2013.
