TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2024
/CNW/ - Missoni, world-renowned Italian fashion house, makes its
debut in downtown Toronto with
MISSONI SKY, a luxurious residential tower being developed with
Amexon Development Corporation, one of Toronto's leading real estate developers. This
visionary tower will blend the world of high fashion with elevated
urban living, establishing a new global benchmark for
fashion-inspired developments.
Inspired by Missoni's heritage, MISSONI SKY promises to redefine
luxury living with its masterful blend of artistic expression and
modern functionality. The tower will showcase Missoni's signature
geometric style, seamlessly integrating the brand's iconic zigzag
patterns and vibrant colour harmonies into every element — from the
expansive lobbies and rooftop terraces to the fashion-inspired
amenities and sophisticated interiors of the exclusive
residences.
"MISSONI SKY represents the successful translation of our
brand's style into an immersive living experience," said
Alberto Caliri, Creative Director of
Missoni Home. "This development brings Missoni's artistic essence
to life, infusing every corner of the tower with our distinctive
approach."
Elevating the Art of Luxury Living
MISSONI SKY's design pays homage to Missoni's rich artistic
legacy, featuring the brand's use of bold colors, iconic patterns,
and intricate details across its furnishings, textiles, and
wallpapers. Each space within the tower exudes a modern,
unmistakable Missoni ambiance, creating a harmonious blend of
beauty and functionality. From the meticulously curated interiors
to the spectacular amenities, every element of the tower will
embody the brand's heritage, offering residents an environment
where they can craft their own legacy amidst beauty and
harmony.
To bring this vision to life, Missoni teamed up with
Toronto-based design studio II BY
IV DESIGN. Known for their innovative approach, II BY IV DESIGN has
adeptly translated Missoni's fashion-forward ethos into the tower's
interiors. "Working with Missoni has been an incredible journey,
allowing us to craft living spaces that feel like stepping into a
piece of art – modern, bold, and timeless," said Dan Menchions, Principal at II BY IV DESIGN.
A Beacon of Contemporary Architecture
Located in the vicinity of the King-Jarvis design district in
downtown Toronto, MISSONI SKY will
stand as a beacon of contemporary architecture. The tower's sleek,
modern silhouette emerges from an elegant eight-storey brick podium
that will house a boutique hotel, restaurants, and luxurious
residential spaces. Rising above the podium is a striking glass
tower offering panoramic views of Lake
Ontario and beyond. Designed by the award-winning CORE
Architects, the building "pushes creative boundaries and sets a new
standard for urban living in Toronto," said Deni
Poletti, lead architect at CORE Architects.
A Sustainable Vision for the Future
MISSONI SKY will set a new standard for eco-conscious
development. In line with Amexon's Green Development Standard,
MISSONI SKY will integrate numerous cutting-edge environmental
initiatives, including EV charging stations in every parking space,
underscoring Amexon's commitment to sustainable luxury living,
placing Missoni Sky at the forefront of sustainable development in
Canada.
"We are delighted to be working with Amexon on Missoni SKY
interiors design project in Toronto, and excited to be furnishing the
finest fabrics and design throughout this incredible tower," said
Livio Proli, Missoni CEO. "Our
creative team has come together to design bespoke luxury interiors
that perfectly compliment the urban surroundings".
