Palazzo Fendi Milano Opens as Immersive Art and Fashion Space
FENDI has launched Palazzo FENDI Milano, a versatile venue located at the intersection of Via Montenapoleone and Corso Matteotti. Originally constructed between 1933 and 1936 by Emilio Lancia, the rationalist structure underwent renovations by FENDI Architecture, harmonizing Milanese Art Deco with the brand's signature style. The space features unique artworks from contemporary creators, such as a ceramic column by Anton Alvarez and a fresco by Edoardo Piermattei, who also showcased live performances at the Atelier, crafting pieces in pigmented concrete. A limited edition of the iconic Peekaboo bag is available in white canvas and recycled materials. The second floor boasts Calce Romana walls and VIP rooms adorned with sculptures by Florian Tomballe, while the FENDI Apartment presents a reinterpretation of the Pantheon alongside works by Agostino Bonalumi and Arnaldo Pomodoro.
