The new Armani/Casa collection finds inspiration in the beauty of nature surrounding all of us, subtly taking on its eternally empowering sentiment. For the elegant designs it was of utmost importance to use eco-friendly materials, such as striped banana tree finishes gathered only after the crops were cut. Another standout material is the Japanese ash wood reminiscent of Zen gardens recalling in its grains movements of the same. As always with Armani the new designs even when referring to classic furniture pieces, embody pure lines and simple shapes drawn with a contemporary edge in mind. The new collection was presented at Teatro Armani during the latest design week in Milano.
