Salvatore Ferragamo has opened a new sculptural fashion boutique at Oakridge Park in Vancouver. This venture marks the brand's second North American location to adopt the label's latest architectural and interior design direction that merges Italian-crafted heritage with the innovative vision of Creative Director Maximilian Davis.
The Oakridge Park sculptural fashion boutique interior is organized into three distinct rooms, each dedicated to a specific product category. The retail space offers a unique aesthetic experience while maintaining a cohesive design language defined by exceptional materials. The first room, focused on bags and accessories, features a striking Calacatta Gold marble panel alongside Chambolle stone panels, with a custom-designed table sheathed entirely in sea blue ceramics from the Aquario collection by Italian designer Andrea Mancuso. Passing through elegant arches, visitors enter the second room, which is dedicated to footwear and characterized by a bold Red Napoleon marble front panel and Chambolle stone shelving, with seating and tables designed by Andrea Anastasio. The third room, showcasing ready-to-wear, silk accessories, and eyewear, employs neutral Chambolle stone panels on the walls to create a calm backdrop that allows the collections to stand out.
