etropolis; a term used rather vaguely in modern days but that is still widely recognized as a term of endearment when describing a city which had grown to

become a cultural, business and technological hub.

We often tend to forget that a metropolis owes its growth and success to its citizen, who have over the centuries injected time and effort in creating a modern day mosaic through its ever evolving architecture and design. Like a fingerprint, no two metropolis could ever be the same, having being influenced through the span of

time by so many diverse factors.

Individuals from the world over, who migrate to such metropolitan areas bringing along with them their cultural heritage, adding to these great works of modern art an international flair. Such a metropolis ends up being a living portfolio of centuries of evolution, foreign influences, diversity and excellence in architecture and design.

We have chosen several of these modern day metropolis, who have over time strived and excelled in becoming design and lifestyle landmarks. The Métropole Collection is an homage to each of these cities, a sign of gratitude to their designers, architects,

artists and creators who have given the world so much beauty.

étropole : terme utilisé de façon plutôt vague en ces temps modernes, mais encore largement reconnu comme un terme affectueux lorsqu’il décrit une ville

qui est devenue un centre culturel, d’affaires et technologique.

Nous avons souvent tendance à oublier qu’une métropole doit sa croissance et son succès à ses citoyens, qui, au fil des siècles, ont consacré temps et énergie pour créer une mosaïque de l’ère moderne qui est le résultat d’une architecture et d’une conception visuelle en constante évolution. Comme dans le cas d’une empreinte digitale, il n’y a pas deux métropoles pareilles, chacune ayant subi l’influence de

nombreux facteurs divers au fil du temps.

Les personnes provenant des quatre coins de la planète qui immigrent dans les métropoles y apportent leur patrimoine culturel, ce qui ajoute un style international à ces grandes œuvres d’art moderne. Ainsi, ces métropoles se transforment en un portfolio vivant qui est le fruit de siècles d’évolution, d’influences étrangères, de la

diversité et de l’excellence de leur architecture et de leur conception visuelle.

Nous avons choisi plusieurs de ces métropoles des temps modernes, qui, au fil du temps, se sont évertuées à devenir des références en matière de conception visuelle et de style de vie et qui ont excellé à le devenir. La Métropole Collection rend hom-mage à chacune de ces villes, ce qui constitue une preuve de gratitude envers leurs concepteurs visuels, leurs architectes, leurs artistes et leurs créateurs qui ont rendu

le monde si beau.

“ Une métropole, c’est la synthèse des activités de l’homme, une preuve de son génie. La providence a fourni les matériaux ; ses créateurs les ont utilisés.”
