Prada opens in St. Barts. In this iconic location, Prada presents an original design with an exotic vibe to create a unique, contemporary shopping experience. The store concept – inspired by the architecture of 1950s South American mansions – exhibits an exotic reinterpretation of Prada’s classic heritage elements. The checkered marble floor teamed with natural materials such as wood, within a bright atmosphere, creates an elegant yet relaxed setting. The original white-and-yellow striped entrance ceiling is a modern take on a characteristic coffered ceiling. The entire space is flooded with natural light which filters through the large windows and the wooden brise soleils.

Rooms with original, creative vintage-fabric wall coverings, which were inspired by iconic prints from the Prada collections and reinterpreted in an architectural context, house the special products in a brightly colored versatile setting. The collections are displayed on shelves made of natural wood or printed with graphic motifs. To complete the furnishings, rare design pieces, such as tubular-framed wicker armchairs from the Fifties, original seating by Giò Ponti and rattan armchairs designed by Franco Albini, create intimate spaces for relaxing moments of leisure.

The new store exudes a sophisticated atmosphere which gives the feeling of a relaxing, luxury holiday in a unique, original place.

About author
Sophisticated and trendsetting, Prada’s inspiring concept of uncompromised quality and constant innovation has endured from 1913, when Mario Prada, Miuccia Prada’s grandfather, opened a shop of luxury goods in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan. The search for rare and valuable materials and sophisticated manufacturing techniques is part of Prada’s DNA.
