The Golden Age of Armani / Casa. Collection 2012-2013

Since its birth, more than ten years ago, the Armani / Casa project has become a symbol of a new approach to the design of living space. He combined the ideas of minimalism with the use of bright and expensive elements of decor, creating a completely new fusion - an unprecedented mixture of styles.

Armani / Casa is, first of all, a relentless search for the perfect harmony of form and content, a window into the world where the quality of materials is so impeccable that it itself becomes a synonym for beauty. All together, this became the basis for a new collection, with the help of which we seem to make an imaginary journey from the cradle of Italian art, Venice, - directly to the East, to mysterious Japan.

I would also like to dwell on the high-quality textiles Armani / Casa Exclusive Textiles by Rubelli, a striking feature of which was a whimsical embroidery, inspired by the traditional painting of the icons of the Renaissance. The original geometric ornaments are distinguished by the unsurpassed quality of handmade, especially noticeable on the unique texture of fabrics in the smallest rib (micro-cannette).

The philosophy of Armani / Casa is the possession of rare prestigious things. What, for example, is a bookcase with the intriguing name Freud, - it can also be used for zoning the room. The surface of the rack is made using the Marqueterie de Paille technique, which gained popularity in France in the 20s and 30s of the last century, largely thanks to the famous designer and decorator Jean Michel Franck. Subsequently, the masters were forced to abandon it - too much work and time were required.

Today in the world there are only a few furniture workshops that can reproduce this technology. The secret is that the master manually beats every twig with a hammer, cuts it into pre-measured parts and arranges them to obtain the necessary ornament. Many pieces of furniture - coffee tables, bureaus, desks - are covered with special glaze, called "tortoise shell", which gives things a luxurious and elegant look.

Another characteristic detail is the decoration of objects with strips of the finest decorative foil - silver or with a golden tint, it gives things three-dimensionality and volume, and is also able to give pleasant tactile sensations.

It is unlikely that you will find somewhere else such skillfully decorated furniture. Warm colors with a touch of brass, pierced by streams, streaks and flashes of gilding - they seem to frame objects in an unusual soft glow. Such unique details turn furniture into luxurious interior elements. Especially when they are carefully and passionately collected by the collector in the surrounding space. This composition has the self-titled name "Gold on Gold" ("Gold on Gold"). In it, objects with golden decor are placed in the same golden interior, forming a single ensemble with it.

Pay attention to other interior art objects: Murano glass has become a legend - vases with volumetric texture, the finest hand engraving and etching, as well as special trays for storing coins and small items, paperweight and much more ...

Armani / Casa has recently been opened in Dubai on Al Ittihad Road, Deira.
