160 Madison Avenue, New York.
New York, New York
The 1,161sqm space is set out over two levels linked by a dramatic walnut-clad staircase with
travertine marble steps. The spaces within the new store range from an intimate private home
to a contemporary office. Remaining faithful to the building’s original features, Van Duysen
has introduced distinctive elements such as winter gardens brimming with luxurious botanicals
and partitions between rooms interspersed by tall travertine marble-clad portals. Various
shades of bone and warm greys have been teamed with sophisticated, golden-hued natural
materials. The first floor features the Group’s iconic pieces, including the Paul seating system,
the Gliss Master wardrobe system and Gio Ponti designs. Visitors enter through floor-to-ceiling
wooden doors, which are framed by two glass screens. The high-impact scenic space contains,
frames and enhances the Group’s new collections, which includes designs by Van Duysen,
Rodolfo Dordoni, Ron Gilad, Foster + Partners, Jean Nouvel and Patricia Urquiola. The lower
floor comprises a day area, with two 505 bookcase systems enclosing a fireplace, and a bedroom
featuring a sequence of wardrobes that lead through to a kitchen. The lower floor also features
a loft with a Dada kitchen that references the style of a New York apartment.
