L’Of ciel Living
GUCCIJust as eclectic and extravagant as its fashion counterpart, Gucci Décor’s updated
catalogue was brimming with over-the-top offerings. Unveiled at a temporary duplex
store at 19 Via Santo Spirito with the showcase running through June, the collection
bedecked the space with the grand ambience of an abode. The decorated, panelled
doors; the coffered ceiling over the first floor; and the marble fireplace were brought
to life with Gucci-patterned wallpapers; hanging blankets and more. The latest
rendering saw Gucci’s familiar motifs repurposed into a number of furniture pieces
and decorative items. Its iconic floral embroidery was reworked onto shell-shaped
armchairs inspired by ‘50s Hollywood; its wildlife elements injected into the vinyl,
paper or silk wallpapers; and the star patterns revisited in the porcelain mugs, tea cups
and candle holders. New designs in line with creative director Alessandro Michele’s
aesthetic for the house were also introduced—in the forms of a teddy bear cross-
stitch motif on velvet cushions and the “Hypnotism” imagery on metal folding tables,
among others.
