The House Of Armani

For those who may not have been at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile to see the latest Armani Casa collection—and couldn't wait until it hit the floor stateside—Interior Design hosted a preview party at the company's store in New York. Fashion designer Giorgio Armani's furnishings arm re-created its Milan presentation, which included the limited-edition Borromini chair with Macassar ebony arms, the sculptural Braques bench in smoky-finished ash, and the pneumatic-looking upholstered Baloon chair.
