Inspired by the brand’s philosophy of the “Art of Fusion”, the boutique showcases high-end materials such as marble and ebony, pairing them with mirrors, glass and metal.

The materials create a dialogue with one another and with their environment: The historical façade of the boutique which has been kept unchanged, and this square, charged with history, and boasting its iconic fountain and 18th century steps. Despite its urban accents, this showcase is designed to be warm and inviting.
