Description
The concept for this cult luxury global brand is based on a mystical Baroque palazzo drowning, like Hamlet’s Ophelia, in a lake strewn with floating golden leaves.
There is a playful interaction between the large scale of the american black walnut display tanks and the actual space. This Alice in Wonderland quality is further enhanced by the vast fresco mirrored walls shimmering with ghostly layers of texture and multiple reflections. The glass-like finish of the resin floor is contrasted by soft walls of vividly coloured Chinoiserie linen.
Industrial steelwork and slabs of transparent Lucite give an altogether more anarchic feel to this magical world of faded grandeur in this futuristic palazzo.
