Greenwich, Connecticut – Luxury retailer Lugano Diamonds has opened its seventh store, a salon on Greenwich Avenue in Connecticut.
Housed in a historic 1916 building, the store was designed by Studio 43D, with interior concepts by Lugano COO and co-founder Idit Ferder.
The 3,500-square-foot space has a sophisticated, warm and inviting atmosphere, with a fireplace and handcrafted furniture and decorative pieces.
The interior flooring is by the Jamie Beckwith Collection and includes a light sculpture by Andreea Braescu, furniture by Ceccotti Collezioni, Adrianna Hoyos, Porada and Barbara Barry, and artwork by America Martin.
Lugano Diamonds, which was acquired by investment holding company Compass Diversified in 2021, was founded in 2004 by husband and wife team Moti and Idit Ferder.
The company was built on Moti’s long-held vision of offering “one-of-a-kind, wearable works of art”, which he dreamed up while working with his family’s rough diamond business, which was founded in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1965.
Today, the company has multiple locations across the US and maintains a “passion for building relationships, community and philanthropy” by partnering with like-minded brands and organisations in the equestrian, automotive, arts and culture, culinary and golf industries.
To bring its philanthropic initiatives to Greenwich, the company is partnering with local organisations including the Bruce Museum, Greenwich Country Day School, Greenwich Hospital, the Junior League of Greenwich and the Greenwich International Film Festival.
“We are thrilled to be opening our Lugano Diamonds salon in Greenwich, a city full of culture and art that perfectly aligns with the values and passions of our brand,” said Moti.
“We are really looking forward to getting to know the community and establishing a presence here through our philanthropic efforts.”
The company has other salons in Newport Beach, California; Aspen, Colorado; Palm Beach, Florida; Ocala, Florida; Houston, Texas; and Washington, D.C., as well as a salon that travels on the equestrian circuit.
The London salon is scheduled to open in 2024.
