Gucci opens store in Grand Hotel Park Gstaad
Giannini’s innovative store design (it employs warm and luxury materials with natural lights to spectacular effects), is a grand departure from codified retail spaces and paves the way for the modern Gucci-look of the 21st century. The connection of classic elements like rosewood and marble, with new materials such as ribbed glass, polished gold, smoked mirrors and smoked glass, recalls the elegance and richness of the Art Deco era. Geometric lines, which include a stylized version of the famous striped webbing, characterize the interior. Smoked mirrors and glass ensure a spacious perspective; door handles contain strips of glass or gold; black marble strips reach from
the white marble floor to the ceiling; shelves and display cases are dressed with bronze glass and varnish. Walls, covered in both bronze glass and bronze mirror, contribute to the warmth and elegance. The modern product range consists of handbags, shoes, small leather articles, watches and fancy goods. The customer in the Gucci store in Gstaad will encounter an incomparable combination of personal service and love for detail that characterizes the Gucci shopping experience since Guccio Gucci opened its first store in 1921. The Gucci flagship store in Gstaad is one of 130 stores worldwide designed by Frida Giannini and follows the example of international cities such as New York, Rome, Hong Kong, London, Shanghai, Paris, Milan, Singapore and Seoul. The store is open daily from 10h00 to 19h00. Special opening times are possible upon request. TRANSLATED AND ADAPTED FROM THE PRESS RELEASE AVS 04.01.2013
