CASADEI OPENS IN FLORENCE



Casadei announce the opening of their new flagship store in Florence.

 

The 70 square meter boutique is situated on the prestigious Via Tornabuoni in the historical city center. The space is divided into two distinct areas. The first is characterized by a boiserie in fine waxed Afromosia wood, featuring vertical illuminated cuts, highlighting the geometric structure. The opposite wall is covered with mirrored panels decorated with a pattern of fine silk-screened silver stripes.



The second area is more intimate and accentuated by walls covered in black-lacquered glass panels. The left wall, partially covered with mirrors, is enhanced by a prismatic mirrored surface with full-length panels arranged at 45 degrees, creating a play of light and reflections. The right wall features a fishbone structured boiserie in waxed Afromosia wood that lines the stairs to the upper level. A sophisticated crocodile skin day-bed is set in the center atop a floor insert of the same ornate boiserie, offering comfortable seating and a complete view of the Casadei collection.  The same luxurious crocodile skin covers the top of the mirrored cash counter.


The furniture is elegant and linear, complimenting the space, with shelving in white leather and stainless steel frames. The multiple mirrors and reflections of light multiply and merge with the warm color of the wooden boiserie, creating a bright atmosphere and an ideal boutique space for Casadei’s sophisticated creations.
