THE TIMELESS ELEGANCE OF RITZWELL PRODUCTS INSIDE THE HYUNDAI DEPARTMENT STORE IN SEOUL.
Ritzwell is among the high-end brands selected to be featured in Villa il DUOMO, the furniture area within Hyundai Department Store located in the Gangnam district in Seoul. A choice which enhances the company’s presence in South Korea, a region which is quickly gaining an increasingly strategic role in the luxury goods industry. The figures clearly confirm this. According to a report by Morgan Stanley, South Korean spending in luxury goods in fact rose by 24% in 2022, reaching 16.8 billion dollars. These are numbers which explain the central role that this Far Eastern country plays today, even in the world of design.
Inside Villa il DUOMO, Ritzwell proposes a total living set-up with a precise formal character generated by the encounter between the fundamentals of Japanese philosophy and an essential language in line with contemporary taste. Founded in 1992 in Fukuoka, the Japanese company asserted itself internationally with its exclusive design, the use of top-quality natural materials and its precious hand-crafted workmanship: aspects that are now also winning over the audience in Seoul. Among the products selected for the first display in the prestigious store are some of the most representative models from the Ritzwell catalogue.
The dining area, for example, takes shape with the MT TABLE, characterised by the slim metal legs and a solid walnut wood top with a slightly rounded edge, and the MT BENCH, composed of interwoven leather straps and a structure in steel and solid walnut. The exhibition proposal is completed by the MARCEL CHAIR, soft lines made of fine matte black stained oak wood, with seat and back made of fabric, and the JABARA SIDEBOARD, composed of a white oak body frame structure with solid wood sliding tambour doors.
