The entire process of creating the brand’s refined handbags and accessories takes place inside the factory – from the industrialization of materials, to the careful cutting of leather and meticulous assembly of each designer product.
Inspired by “transparencies, glass, glass, glass, and the great view”, architects Fabio Barluzzi and Barbara Ponticelli of MetroOffice Architetti have designed a modern production facility that inspires its employees and artisans with panoramic views of the Chianti countryside.
La Manufacture’s suspended façade of glass bricks creates a distinct visual identity with a polished, textured finish, while providing transparency, shade and reflection.
This kaleidoscope of grey glass connects deeply with the natural landscape, changing colour throughout the day and reflecting the rich palette of the seasons.
HIGH FASHION MEETS SUSTAINABILITY
To imbue the design with the Celine identity, a thorough analysis of the brand was fundamental for MetroOffice Architetti.
Part of the portfolio of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, Celine’s ready-to-wear collections and outfit-elevating bags are coveted for their minimalist aesthetic and expert craftsmanship.
“It’s clear that architecture does not change as quickly as a fashion collection,” remarks Ponticelli.
