"AD Revisits Giorgio Armani\nThe fashion designer is no stranger to Architectural Digest: His Swiss alpine retreat, featured in our March issue, is his fifth home (including a very livable yacht) to be profiled in the magazine. In honor of his latest appearance, we tour his residences around the world\nForte dei Marmi, Italy\n\n Giorgio Armani retained the traditional, rustic exterior of his farmhouse on the Tuscan coast, but he completely restructured the interiors (seen in the next three slides), applying a contemporary, Japanese-infused aesthetic. (May 1983 and December 2004)\nForte dei Marmi, Italy\n\n The living room is decorated in neutral shades\u2014from the wood-and-aluminum paneling to the coconut matting on the floor. Armani designed the bold brass lamps with pyramidal shades as well as the graduated chests of drawers beneath the stairs, which were inspired by an image in a Japanese magazine. (May 1983 and December 2004)\nForte dei Marmi, Italy\n\n Armani used vintage pieces sparingly: The 1930s table and chairs in the dining room reflect the clean lines and simplicity that dominate throughout the house. (May 1983 and December 2004)\nForte dei Marmi, Italy\n\n A master suite is furnished with a brass canopy bed, a leather club chair and ottoman, and a pair of 1920s brass-and-wood table lamps topped with Armani shades. (May 1983 and December 2004)\nNew York City\n\n Armani's Central Park West pied-\u00E0-terre was renovated with the help of Thomas O'Brien of Aero Studios. The living room of the penthouse space displays several Armani/Casa designs, including the sofa, silk-upholstered slipper chair, and bronze table lamp. (April 2002)\nNew York City\n\n To give the decor a cohesive feeling, Armani and O'Brien employed many of the same materials throughout the apartment. The sofa fabric also appears in the window treatments, sisal rugs can be found in several rooms, and the dark wood flooring in the living room is used in the kitchen and baths as well. (April 2002)\nNew York City\n\n The 3,200-square-foot terrace nearly doubles the footprint of the apartment and offers sweeping views of Central Park. (April 2002)\nNew York City\n\n The relaxed yet elegant dining room is furnished with items by Armani/Casa, from the table and chairs to the dinnerware and candles. (April 2002)\nNew York City\n\n The light-filled master suite's masculine wood bed, dressed in neutral linens, complements the 1940s mahogany-and-leather desk, designed by Edward Wormley. The ultra-minimal fireplace design was also used in the living room. (April 2002)\nSaint-Tropez, France\n\n Armani's sleek yacht, Mari\u00F9, which he docks in Saint-Tropez, France, showcases his style from stem to stern (even the crew's uniforms are Armani). Built with the help of architect Giancarlo Ortelli, the boat's exterior sports two tones of gray, chosen to diminish glare. (November 2003)\nSaint-Tropez, France\n\n The lower deck features a versatile living and dining area. The walls are clad in white-washed teak, the floors are teak planks separated by thin strips of ebony, and the ceiling is paneled with titanium. (November 2003)\nSaint-Tropez, France\n\n The teak table and captain's chairs on the dining terrace were created especially for the Mari\u00F9. The table is set with Armani/Casa designs. (November 2003)\nSaint-Tropez, France\n\n Striped linens add a nautical touch to the pickled-oak bed in Armani's stateroom. The cabinets and shelves were inspired by a Japanese tansu chest. (November 2003)\nAntigua\n\n Armani's dramatic cliff-side retreat in Antigua combines two villas, three guest pavilions, multiple swimming pools, expansive tropical gardens, and a private beach. A network of terraces and pathways connect the various parts of the compound. (November 2006)\nAntigua\n\n The designer used different muted color palettes in the two villas\u2014gray in Villa Flower and beige in Villa Serena. The walls of Villa Flower's living room (pictured here) are sheathed in tatami, and the furnishings are by Armani/Casa. (November 2006)\nAntigua\n\n The bed in Villa Flower's master bedroom is oriented to optimize views of the terrace and the ocean, while dark louvered shutters offer privacy. (November 2006)\nAntigua\n\n In this expansive, high-ceilinged guest bathroom, the walls are covered in a wood laminate protected by sheets of glass. (November 2006)\nAntigua\n\n One of the multiple outdoor dining areas overlooks an infinity pool. All of the decks and walkways are made of cumaru, a wood also known as Brazilian teak. (November 2006)\nLa Punt, Switzerland\n\n The living room of the designer's winter getaway near Saint Moritz features abundant mahogany and furnishings by Armani/Casa.
