Bisazza continued its strategy of worldwide expansion with the opening of a Chicago flagship store in mid-June, the third such showroom for the company in the United States. Planned to coincide with NeoCon®, the trade fair for design and contract furnishings, the store has been designed by architect Carlo Dal Bianco, director of the Bisazza Design Studio. Occupying 330 sq m on two levels, the lower space will host an exhibition showroom of the company’s Home Collection, with work by designers such as Andrée Putman, Patricia Urquiola, Marcel Wanders, Carlo Dal Bianco, Studio Job, Jaime Hayon, Jürgen Mayer H. and Tord Boontje. Chicago joins Barcelona, Berlin, London, Los Angeles, Milan, New York, Paris, Rome, Moscow, Antwerp and Tokyo as a location with which the company aims to strengthen and coordinate its international image and identity.
