Looking Inside the Late Giorgio Armani’s Kitchen Changed How I See Antique Cookware – and the Meaning of Timeless Design
Giorgio Armani's Milan kitchen proves the homely, rustic charm of copper cookware
While many know the late Giorgio Armani for his impeccable couture, the fashion designer's home reveals his talents weren't restricted to just clothing.
Every room in Giorgio's Milan home was (unsurprisingly) artfully designed, but after spotting the antique decor in his farmhouse kitchen, I've been inspired to add more copper cookware to my collection.

Giorgio's vintage kitchen couldn't be more charming. Featuring a wall of antique cookware that stands proud at the center of the space, it's a classic take on the farmhouse kitchen trend. You'll be pleased to know that recreating the look is more than simple with these copper cooking vessels that will bring rustic charm to any cooking space.
Charming in size and design, the Ruffoni copper saucepan is perfect for condiments and small-scale cooking. Whether you're making a sauce or cooking an egg, you'll want to add this staple to your collection.
To pay homage to Giorgio's kitchen, hang this copper spoon on a hook beside other utensils for a handy yet stylish set-up. To keep things truly authentic, add a vintage copper ladle or spatula to the mix.
Perfect for hosting, the Crites metal trays are charmingly rustic. Available in a set of three, you'll want to hang these hammered trays at the heart of a cookware wall or at the center of a pot rail.
From baking trays to antique copper molds, Giorgio's vintage cookware collection is beautifully housed on his kitchen wall. Displayed using a wall-mounted storage panel, it's a clever yet convenient setup that aids all kinds of cooking.
Similar to a pot hanger, the storage allows the entire collection to be displayed without compromising on practicality. A charming statement that adds warmth and homeliness to the cooking space, Giorgio's simple but mighty wall-mounted panelling is the perfect solution for his copper cookware collection.
From large ladles to copper skillets, the wall features cooking vessels of all descriptions, showcasing each piece in all its glory. A way to not only store the collection but to add some interest to a neutral space, the feature wall of antique decor sets the tone of the kitchen and encourages the eye to wander.
