Crafting Luxury: the Fendi store project

Overcoming global challenges to create luxurious spaces

Introduction

For several years now, another leading client that has engaged us with its challenging projects worldwide is Fendi. The Fendi store boasts a luxurious concept, with painted metals, satin steel, and stuccoes that render the store both chic and delicate. This article delves into the process behind the creation of Fendi stores, showcasing our expertise and the sophisticated design and execution challenges we have overcome.

Project development: from concept to reality

The journey for each Fendi store begins with the reception of design plans via email. Our technical team then embarks on a meticulous selection process for samples to propose to the client, typically including satin steel, champagne painted metal with a satin effect, and marble Our technical team then embarks on a meticulous selection process for samples to propose to the client, typically including satin steel, champagne painted metal with a satin effect, and marble. Moreover, we coordinate with other suppliers chosen by the client to collaboratively bring the store to life, such as executing stuccoes on our panels.

Material Selection and Prototyping

Once the samples are approved, our technician and project manager conduct site inspections to finalize all details, considering any discrepancies that might affect the precise creation of the store. This step is crucial for planning both internal and external production timelines effectively.

Execution Phase

With a clear timeline established, the real execution phase begins, involving the creation of various designs. These designs, once sent to the client and approved, lead to the detailed extraction of components including metals, wood panels and frames, furniture lighting, glass and mirrors, hardware, fabrics if present, and travertine marble.

Assembly and Installation

As the production of panels and frames nears completion and orders from various suppliers arrive, the pre-assembly phase kicks off with a selected team of assemblers who will perform the final on-site assembly. For all stores, whether in Europe or beyond, that cannot be reached by land, a phase for the executive design of wooden crates is necessary, which we acquire from a trusted supplier to ensure certification.

Logistics and Customs Documentation

A critical and delicate phase is the drafting of customs documents, meticulously managed by our logistics office team, enabling us to secure certifications like EORI, REX, and AUTHORIZED EXPORTER for many countries, issued directly by the Customs Agency.

Conclusion

Once logistics operations are complete and the goods arrive at their destination, the team responsible for pre-assembly begins the installation, initially supported on-site by the technician and project manager, and then remotely. The realization of Fendi stores across the globe is not just an architectural and design achievement; it’s a testament to the skill, passion, and dedication of Alberto Tacchi Arredamenti in bringing spaces that define luxury and excellence in interior design to light.
