Description
Officine Panerai asked Patricia Urquiola to rethink the image of its high-end stores, the concept is beautifully applied to the boutique at Yin Tai Center in Beijing. The new opening also renovates the partnership between Panerai and Area-17, who acts as the project manager for the brand in the Asia Pacific area.
The famous Spanish designer 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.
