Prada Hideaway – A pop up designed by Martino Gamper for Prada
Harrods, London, 4 – 28 September 2020

Renowned designer Martino Gamper is the creator of a site-specific pop up for Prada at Harrods, London. The bespoke furniture defines and divides the space covering 90 square meters covered in vertical and horizontal lines. According to Prada’s statement, wooden patterns fold across the walls to become wooden landscapes with both intimate spaces and openings with views.

Harrods storefront window displays have the texture of a wooden environment – a fragmented tree. Black and white cyclic moving images of branches, wood grain and growth rings contrast with the soft natural tones and tapered edges of the oblique shelves. This play between the foreground frame and backdrop creates interior movement and unusual perspectives highlighting a timeless, natural beauty.

Prada Hideaway’s collection reflects the idea of simplicity, the return to the quintessential quality and beauty of natural materials. We found bags, women’s ready to wear, accessories and footwear. The luxury fashion house put a focus on a special selection of shearling jackets in neutral tones as well as a variety of garments made of the finest cashmere with special hand-made treatments.

Prada Abstract: A pop up in collaboration with Printemps Haussmann, 3rd September – 18th October 2020.

Prada also landed in Paris at Printemps Haussmann luxury department store. The key concept and inspiration behind the project is the absence of colour to emphasize Prada’s contemporary identity. Black and white are used for all elements: white for the floor and walls; black for the three- dimensional logo.
