Celine opens fresh flagship on Milan’s via Montenapoleone

Celine has quietly unveiled its fresh new via Montenapoleone flagship on Milan’s key luxury shopping thoroughfare, boasting a novel selection of curated art pieces.

The store opened in mid-October, and it recently welcomed the Spring 2026 collection – the first designed by recently appointed creative director Michael Rider – as part of the exclusive selection of stores launching the collection worldwide.
 
With the address of via Montenapoleone 10, the new store is located on one of the most prestigious street corners in luxury, on an angle with haute prestige shopping path Via Sant’ Andrea.

Celine’s new store spans over 600 square metres, spread across two floors, and showcases the brand’s women’s, men’s, and accessories collections. It is located in a dramatic Rationalist era building which houses other clients including Van Cleef & Arpels, Casadei, and Jimmy Choo.
 
The space also boasts the latest Celine Art Project. A large selection of curated art pieces is on display – including paintings by Susan Rothenberg, Luisa Gardini, Giangiacomo Rossetti, and Samuel Hindolo, alongside sculptures by American ceramicist Peter Schlesinger and artists John Duff, Simone Fattal, and Yngve Holen.
 
Respecting Celine’s bold modernist DNA, the entire space features the finest natural stones and materials, such as Oyster Calacatta and Arabescato marbles, paired with grey travertine. Grand antique marble floors are laid over both levels, enhanced by extra-clear mirrors in antique gold and black lacquered walls.
 
The ground level features Celine’s leather goods, accessory, and fine jewellery collections, coexisting with its Haute Parfumerie and Beauté offering.
 
The central polished gold, metallic staircase connects the two stories. Its structure is decorated with oak and glass blades, which are intermittently side lit to emphasise verticality, forming a quiet and elegant reference to the vintage wood furniture distributed across each room.
 
The upper floor is home to women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, textile accessories, and Maison collections.  This area is enriched with more open resting areas, as well as private salons, adorned with French inspired chevron-patterned oak flooring.
