Armani's broad instructions to create a setting that "'suggested a period in the past as a point of reference.'" That period was Paris in the '30s.
"'...modernity without futurism.'" That's how Giorgio Armani described the aesthetic he strived for in the design of his apartment.
"Tall, sleek ebonized doors are French polished In the background, the bronze leopard, one of a pair, is from the 30s, attributed to the famous Atelier Primavera. The big cats are crouching on a low goatskin table by Jean Michel Frank. In the foreground the sofa, surrounded by a folding screen, is pure Frank-style."
