GUCCI
Just 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, 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.
