The new #Printemps store in New York is a cup runneth over of Art Nouveau frescoes, sweeping pink marble stairs, two-story mirrored walls inspired by Coco Chanel and intimate eateries such as the 25-seat Salon Vert raw bar. Designed by architect Laura Gonzalez, who did the Cartier mansion redo on Fifth Avenue in 2023, it’s a fever dream of a Belle Époch Parisian apartment whose owner chose the décor with a bottomless checkbook in one hand and a bottle of hallucinogenic absinthe in the other. The landmark Red Room has been transformed into a shoe salon with a forest of ‘trees’ that light up the #Dior, Aquazurra, Bottega Veneta and other wares, many in exclusive red colours as an homage to the space. It’s the latest example of what Christina Binkley is thinking of as the ‘New Retail’, in which multi-brand stores shrink, boost the opulence of service and décor, and wrest back control of their stores’ square footage from brands. Printemps store wants to usher in a new era of shopping as it lands in America for the first time. Will it work? https://lnkd.in/dZz6Kjxx

Dernier tournant avant l’ouverture du Printemps New York ! Plongez dans les coulisses du #OneWallStreet et plus précisément de la Red Room : un des 50 intérieurs classés comme les plus spectaculaires de la ville de New York. Officiellement connue sous le nom de "The Banking Room", elle servait autrefois à l’accueil des clients les plus fortunés à l'Irving Trust Compagny.  Conçue par la célèbre mosaïste Art Déco Hildreth Meière, cette pièce est ornée de 1 200 m2 de mosaïques de verre rouge et or, créant un effet flamboyant sur les murs et les plafonds. Fermée au public depuis 2001, la "Red Room" sera à nouveau accessible au cœur du Printemps New York. © International Hildreth Meière Association #PrintempsNewYork #ToutCommenceAuPrintemps #NotADepartmentStore  ** The last turn before the opening of Printemps New York!

Diamonds are forever and we know it! 💎 I’m extremely proud of our continuous collaboration with MVRDV for a new incredible façade, this time for our Tiffany & Co. Stuttgart store located in Dorotheen Quartier. The façade features 2829 hand-crafted ceramic diamonds, glazed in a gradient of 9 colors with an iridescent treatment inspired by the favrile glass technique of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Each diamond is mounted on the glass storefront with a special fixing detail which creates this “floating” effect. Come visit us! Thanks to: Koninklijke Tichelaar B.V. , the oldest ceramics manufacturer in the Netherlands , that hand-crafted one by one all these beautiful diamonds; Mestieri Somec Gruppo that manufactured the façade helping us to find the best engineering solutions to respect our design intent. #Tiffany #MVRDV
