Lanificio Colombo
Lanificio Colombo
We collaborated with Agilite solutions to deliver the new Lanificio Colombo corner within Harrods new women designer department. The fit out was designed by Mantero Associati in collaboration with Ga.Be Solutions Srl while we took on the role of local Architect.
The Lanificio Colombo corner in Harrods is designed as a serene, immersive environment that reflects the brand’s dedication to exceptional craftsmanship and understated luxury. The space pairs a warm, natural material palette with refined architectural detailing to create an atmosphere of calm, tactile elegance.
“The space pairs a warm, natural material palette with refined architectural detailing to create an atmosphere of calm, tactile elegance.”
A circular layout defines the heart of the concept, inviting customers into an intimate and fluid browsing experience. Curved metal display structures and sculptural burnished panels, each featuring a subtle cut-out of the iconic Colombo goat, frame the garments while guiding movement around the space. At the centre, a soft upholstered pouf adds comfort and reinforces the boutique-like ambience.
Materiality plays a key role in shaping the identity of the corner. Vertical wooden slats line the perimeter, adding rhythm, warmth, and texture. Soft stone flooring and a circular area rug introduce additional layers of natural tactility, while the neutral palette—camels, greys, and creams—creates a harmonious visual dialogue with Colombo’s luxurious textiles.

Lighting is carefully composed to enhance the overall atmosphere. Warm spotlights highlight the richness of the garments, and discreet linear lighting integrated behind the slatted walls casts a gentle glow, adding depth and architectural refinement.
A tall, rounded mirror is seamlessly embedded within the wooden backdrop, visually expanding the space and bringing balance to the central circular composition. Garments are displayed with generous spacing, allowing each piece to be appreciated individually and underscoring Colombo’s attention to quality and detail.
The resulting design expresses a modern interpretation of quiet luxury—an environment where softness, material honesty, and precise craftsmanship come together to embody the spirit of Lanificio Colombo within the prestigious context of Harrods.
