Description
The recent opening of the Panerai boutique in Taipei marks a turning point in the Chinese luxury market and strengthens the partnership between Officine Panerai and Area-17, who acts as the project manager for the brand in the Asia Pacific area.
Area-17 tastefully adjusts to specific needs the new concept by famous Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, who reinterpreted the Maison’s aesthetic and technical codes paying the greatest respect to its historical identity.
Oak, dark brushed brass, “cannettato” glass, and polished Calacatta marbles decorate an elegant space characterized by a timeless design. Clear references to a marine world both in materials and colors hint at the brand’s illustrious past, when it was the official supplier of the Italian Navy between the 1930s and 1950s.
