Renowned Italian designer Giorgio Armani's Armani/Casa opened its first store on the island to showcase three different expressions of the Armani lifestyle.
The Armani/Casa featuring the furniture section, Armani/Flori, the floral section, and Armani/Dolci, chocolate and food section, is now open for business at Al A'ali Mall in Seef district.
A spokesperson for the company explained that the underlying concept behind the 180sq/m Armani/Casa Manama Bahrain store is to create a distinctive atmosphere through a combination of products that range from furniture and furnishings to accessories, dŽcor and fabrics for day and night.
Armani/Casa, the home furnishings collection by Giorgio Armani was launched in 2000 at its first store at Armani/Via Manzoni in Milan with the objective to bring the designer's philosophy of style to the world of home interiors.
The collection is multi-faceted and offers a complete environment.
There are items of furniture, tableware, decorative accessories, fabrics, ornaments, lighting, as well as original ideas for the bathroom and the kitchen.
In addition, Armani/Casa also offers an exclusive interior design service in each store providing 'made to measure' solutions for private clients and property developers.
Armani/Fiori is the floral section of the store with a display of decorative arrangements for the office and home.
Armani/Dolci was launched in 2002 at Armani/Via Manzoni, and since then other stores have been opened in Dubai, Hong Kong, Munich, Shanghai, Tokyo and Kuwait.
This section features a range of chocolates, hand-made biscuits in four different flavours - chocolate, coffee, lemon and orange - and also a selection of exotic teas, jams and creams.
The store also features a cafŽ offering Italian cuisine with a dash of the local culture under the supervision of Italian chef Fabrizio Pellegini.
Today Armani/Casa has 80 dedicated stores in 45 countries and further six new openings are planned by the end of 2009.
