A new era of refined Italian furniture comes to London with the opening of Luxury Living Group‘s new Knightsbridge store.
Using design expertise perfected over 40 years, the company develops, produces and distributes furniture for its range of high-end furniture brands, with exclusive lines available in the new London store from Bentley Home, Trussardi Casa and the Heritage Collection. United by exquisite craftsmanship, attention to detail and state-of-the-art production technology, the brands each have their own unique design identity.
The first floor of the store is dedicated to Bentley Home, a collection designed by celebrated architect Carlo Colombo. Luxury Living has taken the quintessentially British motoring brand’s codes and interpreted them originally, with a range of expertly crafted furniture, using honest materials such as briar root and marble, that would be equally at home in a spaciously-appointed residence, high-end hotel, yacht or private jet. The collection also includes a range of luxury accessories.
On the ground floor, meanwhile, Trussardi Casa’s collection again combines traditional Italian manufacture but this time with a more minimal, contemporary aesthetic. The collection, also designed by Carlo Colombo, embodies the true spirit of Trussardi maison with a Milanese design.
The Heritage Collection, personally art directed by Luxury Living founder and chairman Alberto Vignatelli, reinterprets classic pieces whilst reviving artisanal techniques to create a collection with timeless appeal. The range includes sofas, armchairs plus crystal glass and porcelain accessories, ideal for private villas or luxury hotel suites alike.
Commenting on the opening, Alberto Vignatelli says, “We are delighted to open our new store in an area of London synonymous with luxury living. London’s high concentration of wealth and power, and international audiences with impeccable taste in interiors, makes it the perfect city to start Luxury Living’s next chapter.”
Each collection in Luxury Living’s portfolio includes not just larger pieces of elegantly styled furniture but textures and products, from carpets and curtains through to tableware and crockery, Murano glassware and hand-blown chandeliers. The company also provides a complete interior design service include bespoke commissions for the complete lifestyle experience.
The interior concept of the 500 square metre store further strengthens the Anglo-Italian relationship. Luxury Living’s design team has worked with the existing Victorian architecture and given it a uniquely Italian twist, for example using emperador and botticino marble to create graphic patterns on the floor.
Large-scale cityscapes of Milan and Rome on the ground and basement levels further reinforce Luxury Living’s Italian roots. The interior colour palette is based on tastefully neutral tones, ranging from ivory and champagne with touches of gold and satin finishes.
This London opening brings the number of Luxury Living stores to nine, with a new opening in Miami plus locations in Paris, Milan, New York and Los Angeles.
