Launched in 2000 in Milan, Armani/Casa forged a new union between luxury fashion and furniture.
But it wasn’t Giorgio Armani’s first foray into interior design. Some two decades earlier in 1982, the forward-thinking fashion designer had extended his tailored aesthetic to the ‘Logo Lamp’, a sophisticated table light that still t0day remains at the core of Armani/Casa’s design DNA.

A New Chapter
Soon, Armani/Casa will relocate its Via Sant’Andrea showroom to the former site of De Padova’s historic headquarters on Corso Venezia. Spanning 1,300 sq m, four storeys and 16 vast windows, the brand new space will form a new permanent home for Armani/Casa, having earlier this year hosted a temporary exhibition during the Salone del Mobile. For now, the view from outside is hidden by lightweight canvases that line the windows, filtering sunlight and offering a feeling of relaxed seclusion from the bustle of the streets, creating a sense of eager anticipation as Milan awaits the unwrapping of the final space.
Textile Treat
The latest Armani/Casa exclusive textile collection by Venetian company Rubelli shines a spotlight on the textures associated with the exquisite embroideries that characterise the Armani style. Evocative Japanese landscapes – plucked from Rubelli’s archive – are the collection’s hallmark, punctuated by notes of ruby red, jade green and sapphire blue with more subdued smoky gold and smoky grey.
From this hand-painted velvet cloth, dating, back to the early twentieth century a compelling family of fabrics is born, including ‘Lafayette’, in silk jacquard, textured with chenille; ‘Lisbon’, with its crackle finish; ‘Lyon’ emulates the softness of embroidered clothing; and ‘Larissa’, printed on cotton grosgrain. Taking an exotic turn, the 100 per cent cashmere ‘Lux’ blanket features jacquard patterns of leopards, while ‘Lumen’ is adorned with polar bears.
