A total declaration of love for beauty, and a tribute to the craftsmanship of Italian artisans, Dolce&amp;Gabbana's Casa Collection is the perfect expression of a vision with an unmistakable aesthetic signature.

Dolce&amp;Gabbana celebrates the art of the home with the inauguration of their latest homeware collection. The luxury brand inaugurated their store in St Barth on 19 Rue de la Republique with their Casa Collection. The duo decided to undertake a new challenge and present a furniture collection with the aim of &ldquo;putting back elegance on the table.&rdquo; The collection features the brand&rsquo;s emblematic Leopard print, a graphic Zebra pattern, the Blu Mediteraneo print, and the Carretto Siciliano. Ranging across furniture, table accessories, fabric, and various decorative objects, the collection truly encapsulates the brand&rsquo;s DNA while also transposing it into home. In it, we find objects such as Murano mouth- blown glasses, colorful and folkloric ceramics, printed quilts, duchess cushions, lacquered wooden bar stools, and sofas. Eclectic and refined, the Casa Collection condenses the finer elements of Italian artistry. Dolce&amp;Gabbana sought to celebrate &ldquo; fatto a mano&rdquo;&mdash;Italian for favoring handmade over the use of machinery&mdash;enabling them to collaborate with local artisans. It features artistic carpentry, straw weaving, woodcarving, and intarsia, an ancient glassware technique. Their unique designs are in contrast with the current trends of interior lines, which tend to privilege even and neutral tones. &ldquo;Just caress a fabric, or gaze at one of our pieces of furniture, and you will immediately understand their basic values: the love of fine crafts, respect for tradition, and the pursuit of innovation.&rdquo; While Dolce&amp;Gabbana initially released their first home collection back in 1994, they later discontinued it in 1999. In 2017 and 2019 Dolce&amp;Gabbana launched a line of electronics appliances with Smeg, comprising juicers, blenders, and kitchen-aid assistants. The imperative of staying home during confinement led them to channel their inspiration into furniture once again. Shot by Mert Alaş &amp; Marcus Piggott the Casa campaign suffuses us in a dreamlike atmosphere. The images echo the timeless character of this collection&rsquo;s main themes. Protagonists write letters to past lovers, asking if &ldquo;magic exists,&rdquo; surrounded by Dolce&amp;Gabbana furnishings. The flagship store will include many of the colorful and vibrant objects of the Casa Collection. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana affirmed they &ldquo;wanted the St Barth store to have a relaxing atmosphere, for it to be a meeting place to enjoy a moment of tranquility at the water&rsquo;s edge&rdquo;. Overlooking the ocean and dubbed &ldquo;the treasure chest of the Caribbean,&rdquo; American architect Steven Harris designed it with the intent of merging St Barth&rsquo;s Caribbean flair with a distinctly Mediterranean atmosphere. The boutique&rsquo;s marble floor references the 1950s Italian interiors, and incorporates elements inspired by Casa Malaparte in Capri as well as Gio Ponti&rsquo;s Villa Plancharts. A hidden martini bar will also be available on the ground floor, enclosed by palm trees. The Dolce&amp;Gabbana St Barths store is meant as an exclusive oasis within paradise.
