Rumors that Karl Lagerfeld is winding down his career have now been put to rest with the announcement that he is, in fact, taking on even more projects. In addition to his work for Chanel, Fendi, and his own label, Lagerfeld will be delving into the world of interior design with his first residential project in the United States. The fashion icon will be working on the lobbies for the Estates at Acqualina, luxury condos in Miami.
In a press release, Lagerfeld expressed his excitement at being able to design these important communal spaces. “I am excited by the opportunity to design the lobbies of The Estates at Acqualina and take great pride in knowing that the spaces I create will be such important spaces in the building. Not only are they significant because they offer the first impression of the building, they are also the spaces where people come to socialize daily; they are like a common living room.” Details on the designs themselves are vague at the moment, but Lagerfeld intends to pay homage to the warmth and vitality of Miami and make sure that lobbies express the best of Floridian luxury living.
The Estates at Acqualina are slated for completion in 2020. Units are currently priced between $3.9 and $9 million.
