   A few kilometers from its home city of Turin, in the beating heart of Milan, Europe’s first Persol concept store could only have debuted in Brera, the iconic district for art, fashion, and style, at via Fiori Chiari, 16.

   

   The store’s one thousand square feet proudly display the brand’s love for refined materials and the master craftsmanship behind every pair of glasses, without ever neglecting attention to authenticity and contemporary style.

   The basic idea was to reveal the authentic architecture of the site chosen to host the Persol concept store via a process of recovering the building’s existing embedded features, rather than hiding them with new ones, thus creating a link between the store and the neighborhood, and between the essence of the brand and the soul of Milan.

   Jay Gatsby would not look out of place inside the new Jacob Cohën flagship store in Milan. In fact, had the sartorially-savvy character worn jeans at all, the retailer’s denim constructions would likely have been his first choice: they offer maximum tailoring, personalization, and craftsmanship. So, when the Cohën team brought on interior design and architecture firm Area-17 to design the space, they had already their traditional, core values sturdily established: maintain a sense of laid-back elegance, comfort ­– preciousness, even. The key was to have a store that would reflect the denim itself.

   Area-17 is a full-service architecture and interior design firm, whose philosophy of work is rooted in the Italian design culture. We proudly pursue the excellence of the Italian design, providing our clients with innovative design solutions, fulfilling their cultural, aesthetic, operational, and marketing objectives. The firm specializes in retail, hospitality and residential environments, with a focus on high-end and luxury sectors.
