Karl Lagerfeld

Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld is yet again shifting gears in the design world. The creative director of Chanel and Fendi presented his first exhibition of sculptural works at Carpenters Workshop Gallery in Paris past October. Called Architectures, the collection encompasses tables, fountains, mirrors and other marble objects, designed in collaboration with architect Asmar d’Amman.

Drawing from Greek architecture and the golden ratio — which fosters organic and natural looking compositions, the German creative redefined antiquity from his perspective: beauty, culture and modernity. These elements inspired the monochromatic collection carved from carefully sourced white Arabescato Fantastico marble.
