The project

The concept

The spectacular façade, designed by Peter Marino, is illuminated by an unstructured representation of the Dior cannage motif, which traces its origins back to the woven cane pattern of the chairs the fashion house’s clients once sat on.

What did we do?

We designed, engineered, supplied and installed 685 sqm of façade, which is comprised of custom extruded aluminium cladding with white PVDF (Polyvinylidene Difluoride) coating and integrated LED lighting. We provided jumbo-sized, low-iron extra-clear glass for vision windows and lightboxes. We also supplied all exterior doors and hardware for the store.
