Description
Area-17 developed the concept for Cavalleria Toscana’s flagship stores. Cavalleria Toscana is an historic Italian brand, made up of two souls: horse-riding apparel and everyday sportswear. The first two stores will open in Seoul, in the Shinsegae Main and Gangnam buildings.
The design takes inspiration from the beautiful Tuscan countryside, the perfect setting for a horse ride. Walls are made of wooden panels, which still show marks of manufacturing, and it evokes the pleasant smell of natural essences in the air. Iron details and heavy crimson drapes complete the country-chic atmosphere.
Glass volumes intersect with the space and gather in the saddlery, the core of the store, where products for equestrians are displayed as jewels in a showcase. A light iron framework acts as a filter between the volumes of light and the last room, which on occasion can be completely separated to create a private area.
