The design follows a severity of expression and is mixed up with an
attempt to rethink the production of the so-called "Milanese
architectural School". In the redesign of the small retail store, the
volumes of the original spaces have been kept intact and any
juxtapositions made by previous interventions removed. Within the
original shell of the building, the architects wished to express a
sensation of calm in a space characterised by a strong architectural
identity. For this purpose, the materials chosen - natural brass,
brushed glossy laquer, leather upholstery - recreate a sense of classic
elegance and sincere simplicity. A backdrop with simple and clean lines
has been created by covering the walls, ceiling and doorways in a smooth
plasterwork and by positioning large square polished stone floor tiles
underfoot.
The pieces of furniture, distinguished by their simple elegance and
refined details, represent and rediscover the values of "artisan
handmade" items and pursue the perfection of timeless realisation. The
laquered green display systems are accentuated with brass-meshwork
shelves and the accompanying brass detailing and fittings add a crisp
grandeur to the space. The lighting beams, incorporating recessed
spotlights, were expressly designed for the boutique and were produced
by Viabizzuno.
