Ten years from its launch, the Armani/Casa division of the Giorgio Armani Group has established itself as a global leader in the luxury interiors market. Synonymous with an elegant and contemporary lifestyle, Armani/Casa is the expression of Giorgio Armani’s own vision of the home as an intimate but sophisticated setting with an atmosphere of comfort and harmony.

Collection IV

The theme of the 2012-2013 collection is the western approach to the oriental culture.

The new fabrics have been created to strengthen and enrich the world of Armani/Casa Exclusive Textiles by Rubelli.

The most interesting aspects of the new collection are the combination and superimposition of different elements: on one side traditional patterns and decorative motifs, the essence of the Venetian heritage of Rubelli, on the other the rigorous designs, the canneté and the damier of Armani/Casa.

The signature piece from the collection is “Fenice”, a highly decorative design woven on a silk loom and showing a detail of a Venetian Renaissance painting by Tintoretto. The large scale design is treated tone on tone and it is available in a highly sophisticated palette of colours such as pale gold on gold.

A fine chromatic fil rouge runs through this collection: the precious shades of gold, silver and metallic colours which characterise the 2012-2013 Armani/Casa’s collection. “The Golden Age”.

Collection III

Textural effects, micro structures, surfaces and colour: the Armani/Casa Exclusive Textiles by Rubelli collection combines the vast assortment of basic and decorative fabrics created during the previous two seasons.

The world of plants is the new source of inspiration for the collection, with the image of the branches and leaves of an age-old oak as the idea behind the Edmonton silk lampas and the Ellora printed silk satin.
A weave reminds us, in a modern graphic version, of a typical basket construction, and warp and weft alternate in the Elvezia matelassé to create three-dimensional surfaces. In addition to all-over patterns, such as Eldorado, Equador and Espoo, botanical textures are experimented in which the typical lines and ribbing of leaves become decorative elements (England).

The animal print, always a feature of Armani/Casa creations, is introduced with inspiration drawn from crocodiles (Eraclea), snakes (Ely) and sea-horses (Este) developed via weaving and printing techniques.

The latter represents an important new feature which adds value to the vast textile experiments of Armani/Casa fabrics. The technique of digital printing is applied to exclusive grounds in silk (Elvas) and linen (Este), with the palette showing a preference for neutral and natural colours.

Colour continues to dominate with timeless non-colours such as dove, ivory, sand and greige. This delicate palette is rounded off with touches of meadow green, shocking pink and coral orange as expressions of the latest trends in fashion.

Collection II

This collection perfectly embodies Giorgio Armani’s aesthetic approach: luxurious and understated. These are beautifully elegant fabrics that reflect that indefinable sense of glamour that derives from the fashion scene, thus allowing you to dress your own home in Armani.

The range emphasises wool and silk and cotton and silk combinations, which impart body to textures that alternate between glossy and matt. Geometric or wavy motifs, patterned or solid in contrast colours team unusual shades such as peacock blue and pink; these are juxtaposed with simpler fabrics such as rough linen, silk and cotton that reveal the intrinsic visual quality of the weave.

To round off the collection, lightweight curtains in textured silk and a selection of weights bring a further dimension to this exceptional range.

Collection I

The first collection, featuring jacquard, damask, velvet and curtains, is designed to provide contemporary and cosmopolitan home furnishing solutions.
Silk plays a primary role amongst the fabrics of the new collection.
The 20’s and 30’s era provides the leitmotif for the creations and is revisited through evocative interpretations of samples and themes typical of the first decades of the twentieth century: stylised plant motifs, the sinuosity of lines and animal themes which are featured in the most significant patterns in the collection.
Armani textures and cult iconography figure prominently, including checks, damier patterns, plain fabrics and micro patterns, all of which are interpreted in this collection in a variety of new weaves and colours exclusive to the Maison. The collection is completed by a range of lightweight drapes, indispensable to the total look of the interior.
