Bendheim provides laminated geometric pattern glass for the recently completed renovation of the award-winning Ermenegildo Zegna Flagship at 663 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

 

Ermenegildo Zegna’s new global store concept, designed by architect Peter Marino, combines the best of traditional and contemporary design. Inspired by Ermenegildo Zegna’s woven-goods history and its wool mills in the Italian Alps, the architect’s design for the 9,200-sq.-ft. store bears resemblance to a loom in action.

 

The soft geometry of Bendheim’s safety-laminated glass, featured in the central stair, gives a sense of movement to the nature-themed mural behind it. The vertical pattern of the glass draws customers upward to further explore the store’s upper floors. Bendheim’s careful attention to the pronounced linear glass patterns, through the precise engineering and manufacture of individual glass sections, creates a seamless transition between the adjacent units.

 

“The patterned glass combined with the nature mural and lenticular film behind it creates an additional woven element to the store,” Mr. Marino said.

 

“We are pleased Bendheim was selected to partner in this outstanding project,” said Donald Jayson, Vice President of Bendheim. “This special glass carries a dynamic sense of movement and reflects the energy of Ermenegildo Zegna’s corporate brand.”

 

Bendheim’s geometric pattern glass is one of a collection of crisp, linear textured glasses offering superior daylighting properties in a broad range of privacy options, from subtle diffusion to nearly complete obscuration. The glass can be supplied in safety tempered and/or laminated form.
