Gitane Agency creates and develops concepts for restaurants, retail locations, private homes, and events. Everything from total renovations to interior concept & design, to (interior) styling, events and staging a home for sale.
PRIVATE RESIDENCE
Historic house, South of France
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The owner of this historic holiday home in the South of France wanted to retain the original character of the house while creating a modern, easy to maintain space. Due to covid-19 restrictions, we couldn’t visit the location in the South of France and had to imagine, source and create the interior remotely – an exciting challenge.
HOSPITALITY
Restaurant Hangar, Amsterdam
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Casa Gitane’s flagship project covered every task imaginable – a corrugated metal exterior and interior that honours the industrial vibe of the harbour setting, brainstorming about the type of dishes on the menu, creating the website, hunting down the right bar stools and overhead pendants. Hangar now has a second location.
PRIVATE RESIDENCE
Totally renovated house, Amsterdam
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Completely renovated house in Amsterdam’s city centre which included patching together broken-up and non-functional spaces. This casa is filled with many of our treasures, curated to give it an atmosphere that exudes tranquillity and sophisticated comfort.
RETAIL
Love Stories, stores worldwide
ABOUT THE PROJECT
In 2013, lingerie brand Love Stories provided a colourful and eclectic answer to the lingerie trends of that time. Because their retail boutiques and shop-in-shops throughout Europe are situated in existing locations, the concept needed a made-to-measure approach that incorporated local rules and regulations, while keeping the brand message and shopfronts instantly recognizable.
HOSPITALITY
Restaurant Ferrili’s, Amsterdam
ABOUT THE PROJECT
A two-in-one approach for this Italian eatery, with a coffee bar and restaurant in downtown Amsterdam, and a stylish restaurant in its business district, The Zuidas. The challenge was to create a upscale environment for business lunches that conveyed the genuine Italian roots of the ownership, while providing a gentle atmosphere for cosy family dinners and coffee dates. Gitane Agency landed on a warm palette rendered in sleek lines and luxurious finishes.
RETAIL
Fabienne Chapot store, Amsterdam
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Amsterdam fashion brand Fabienne Chapot is just like it’s namesake entrepreneur – it favours bold prints and vibrant colours, encouraging women to re-evaluate their existing wardrobes and add some fun. All garment displays in the boutiques reflect that idea, with warm golden hues and bright ‘gumballs’ on clothes racks.
OFFICE
Colourcake Agency, Amsterdam
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This Amsterdam-based brand agency uses branding, content, print and design to build brands.
Gitane Agency coordinated a full-space makeover that covered everything from colours and fabrics to storage space, seating arrangements and furniture. A specific point of interest was the setup and flow of meeting spaces. These were furnished with multi-purpose and mobile pieces to cater to various group sizes, and pleasant lighting and visually inspiring shapes befitting the character of the company.
