Gucci

Gucci, founded in 1921, has always been a leading luxury fashion brand, renowned for its creativity, innovation and Italian craftsmanship. It continues to do so under the leadership of creative director Alessandro Michele, appointed in 2015, with the new homeware range Gucci Décor. The interiors collection is rich with intricate motifs and hand-applied embroidery, which takes up to 10 hours to complete, conveying a unique maximalist vision.

Contemporary romanticism, intended to redefine 21st luxury, is what characterises this range, from candles, to plates, wallpapers, cushions and furniture. Therefore, each piece is bespoke, which allows for a completely flexible and personal means of decoration.

Within the short space of two years, Michele has attained a number of awards and accolades; the International Designer Award from the British Fashion Awards, the International Award from the CFDA and the British GQ Designer of the Year Award. Originally from Rome, Michele studied costume design at Rome’s Academy of Costume and Fashion, followed by a tutelage under Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi at Fendi in the late 90’s where he designed leather goods, before joining Gucci under Tom Ford in 2002. As a designer, he has successfully balanced his own distinctive sense of vintage style with the brand’s indispensable identity and history, resulting in a new and exciting creative narrative for Gucci. In March 2017, the brand announced its strongest revenue increase in 20 years, of 51 percent all-encompassing.

Amongst the Gucci Décor range, designed by Alessandro Michele and available at WallpaperSTORE*, customers can find items featuring the house motif, scented candles in porcelain jars, lacquered chairs upholstered with embroidered seats, and detailed wallpaper designs. The line also includes trays, cushions, mugs and metal folding tables.
