Art is dress, it is furniture.
PIERRE CARDIN signs the Arblu capsule collection: haute couture meets Made in Italy transforming into furniture, space, atmosphere. Haute couture and design come together in a harmonious blend of creativity, savoir-faire, sartorial expertise, and experimental vision. From the catwalks to high-profile residences, Pierre Cardin by Arblu is a project that seamlessly blends fashion and design.
Among the capsule products, ‘La Clé’ is a piece of furniture that embodies the encounter between colour and form, enhancing the originality and customisation that characterise Arblu’s approach to design. The composition is a distinctive element, born from the desire to reinterpret a form cherished by Rodrigo Cardin, the creative director of the Maison. This form transcends time, finding itself in the signs of the past and present, from fashion to design, to objects and accessories.
The washbasin, light point and semi-circular mirror fit into an ideal dimension where functionality is expressed in its purest essence. The idea of wrapping them with two truncated and opposite pyramids is not only an aesthetic choice, but a design expedient to emphasise the heart of the whole: a central sphere that becomes a visual and symbolic fulcrum.
The exhibition also includes the Lune cabinet; rounded sides, fronts and top integrate in perfect harmony the special handle that takes up the shape of the circle, a recurring geometric element in CARDIN’s creations.
Milan Design Week saw the presentation of the renewed iconic Dorian freestanding mirror, protagonist of the first historic cover that Time magazine dedicated to a designer, in 1974, which was Monsieur Cardin himself.
The installation also includes elements linked to the creative identity of the Maison, such as haute couture dresses and a selection of the Maison’s iconic fragrances, including ‘Pour Monsieur’, launched in 1972, which marked PIERRE CARDIN’s entry into the world of men’s fragrances.
Also unveiled in the exhibition space are two representative pieces of the Parisian Maison, ‘Arbre de Lavande’ and ‘Tramonto’ designed in 2016 by Rodrigo CARDIN, two of the main masterpieces of the famous designer’s design collection. These works embody CARDIN’s visionary aesthetic, fusing bold geometric shapes with a refined colour palette.
This artistic collaboration was born with the desire to undertake and explore new paths, new creative collaborations, emphasising the shared values of innovation and aesthetic research. Combining Arblu experience in interior design with the stylistic heritage of PIERRE CARDIN, the project thus aims to celebrate the meeting of two creative worlds, offering furnishing solutions that are true statements of style and personalisation.
