The Architecture of Chanel

Phaidon's coffee table book "The Architecture of Chanel" is a celebration of the beautiful creative intersection between the architecture of Peter Marino and the aesthetic of fashion house Chanel. The architecture book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the buildings Marino designed for Chanel in Chicago, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Los Angeles, Nanjing, New York, Miami, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore and Tokyo.

This stunning celebration of the 25-year collaboration between two remarkable legends - the fashion house Chanel and Peter Marino - through a stunning collection of buildings that Marino designed to enhance the luxury retail spaces of Chanel to be elevated to the realm of art.

Featuring more than 300 stunning images, including construction drawings and original sketches by Marino, along with an introduction by Pilar Viladas of the New York Times and Architectural Digest, an interview by the creator of Pin-Up magazine Felix Burrichter and project descriptions by local writers, each perfectly placed to discuss Marino's work in its geographical context, this book includes all 16 Chanel buildings worldwide for which Marino designed both the buildings and interiors - from the U.S. to Asia.
