The new store concept, designed by Italian architect Matteo Fraticelli of FROM Architecture in New York City, translates Vhernier’s philosophy into architecture — a space where the purity of form, the richness of materials, and the artistry of jewelry coexist in perfect harmony within a seductive yet understated environment.
Guided by the brand’s sculptural design language and refined simplicity, the environment is intimate and immersive, allowing each creation to take center stage within an atmosphere of quiet elegance.
Bronze and glass vitrines define the spatial rhythm, while seamless walls and floors—finished in fine-grained plaster and terrazzo using a mix of botticino and thasso marble, inspired by Milanese palazzi—create a continuous, refined shell. Concealed lighting enhances the interplay of texture and form.
Consultation desks and freestanding showcases echo the same material harmony, reinforcing an unified narrative. A dedicated room for the De Vecchi silver collection, conceived as a modern Wunderkammer, features carved wall niches and cast glass shelves.
The threshold between interior and exterior is defined by a storefront that harnesses the light as a dynamic design element. Stone blocks are broken into sections, forming a semi-transparent screen where structural elements integrate the display vitrines.
This concept is an architectural expression of Vhernier’s philosophy: an environment where the purity of form, the richness of materials, and the art of jewelry come together in perfect harmony.
