Hamburg showroom
The atmosphere of this accessible space continuum mounts across four emotive planes. The discreet elegance at this bespoke Neapolitan tailor communicates with the mirrored-in panorama of the Binnenalster (i.e. the lower, inner-city segment of Hamburg’s Alster Lake), with the rated quality of the finishing materials to meet Hanseatic and classic standards, and with a modern interior design that arouses curiosity all the way to the lounge on the gallery. Polished stainless steel and glass, macassar ebony and a cocoa-brown variety of natural stone are the recurring elements that lend transparency and glamour to the presentation scenario of this luxury brand in the immediate vicinity of the resplendent Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten.

Flagship stores worldwide
Hadi Teherani has been designing stores for the exclusive Kiton label at eminent locations all over the world since 2000. In addition to Milan (2000), Tokyo (2003), London (2007), Rome and New York (both in 2009), the German locations in Düsseldorf (2004) and Hamburg (2007) are among the brand-defining showrooms fashioned by Hadi Teherani. “Satisfaction and curiosity” are the targeted goals the architect states for his shop design, a design that serves to link a brand to a defined place and a specific clientele. Commensurate with the custom-tailored suits that Kiton offers, he creates one-of-a-kind showrooms that typify the local surroundings. In Rome, for instance, a multiply recurring semicircular arch becomes a ‘building block’ for the shop design and an emotional motif for the store. On Hamburg’s Neuer Jungfernstieg, an upmarket lakeside address, the spacious rooms suffused with light combined with precious dark woods form a contrast that provides a luxurious ambience for the fabrics and suits on offer at this Neapolitan tailor for men.
