Soft Touch
The bed, the bath, and the table are well covered at the new Pratesi boutique at 400 Hibiscus Avenue in Palm Beach. Designed by Studio Monteleone & Associates, the store is as exquisite as the inventory with travertine floors, tufted wool carpets inspired by the brand’s butterfly motif, and accents in aniline leather and copper. In terms of fabrics, the venue offers various of Pratesi’s best-known collections, including Angel Luxe, Paradise, Tre Righe, Treccia, Federico, Fresia, Divino, and Marca. Think hand-sewn towels, 900-thread count down comforters, Egyptian cotton sheets, tablecloths worthy of state dinners, and cashmere throws featuring the iconic “P” logo.
Solid Case
After making its name in Wynwood, ARCA has crossed two county lines with a new gallery at 2408 Florida Avenue in West Palm Beach conceptualized by renowned architect Vincent Van Duysen. The space’s earthy hues and sleek contours provide the ideal backdrop for ARCA’s museum-like displays of natural stone, wood, and tiles. The showroom’s layout takes visitors through various vignettes of textures arranged like masterpieces. And we have to say, slabs of marble have never looked so good. “Vincent’s design transforms the gallery into a sanctuary of modern elegance, seamlessly blending art, design, and artisanal craftsmanship,” says José Fernandez, the company’s worldwide CEO. “Each corner of this space reflects our dedication to showcasing the intrinsic allure of natural materials.”
