Heritage, craftsmanship, savoir-faire. Delvaux, the oldest luxury leather goods company in the world, founded in Belgium in 1829, has inaugurated its new flagship store in Beijing, inside the prestigious Wang Fu Central shopping mall. The Milan architecture studio Vudafieri-Saverino Partners, who has been curating the global concept for the Delvaux boutique since 2012, has created an interior design project in line with the Maison’s roots and expressive codes, while also maintaining a unique character that draws on the local cultural heritage and symbols.
Reinterpreting the interiors with a contemporary approach, rich in refined and sophisticated references, the architects Tiziano Vudafieri and Claudio Saverino have combined a Belgian style and character with the beauty of fine details and antique pieces, to create an enveloping and refined atmospherecapable of making customers feel an authentic connection with the brand's values.
The flagship store covers a surface area of 130 sq.m divided into three different environments: at the entrance, the foyer separates the Delvaux bar, on the left, from the VIC (Very Important Customer) room, a welcoming and fascinating lounge area with walls covered in an imperial red colour in homage to China.
