The aesthetic of the boutique is both welcoming and relaxed, with flexible elements, such as velvet armchairs, contrast with more massive surfaces and industrial details such as rivets. Contemporary luxury is suggested by the use of magnificent characteristic materials, but also through a decidedly limited use of space.

If the inner atmosphere of the shop relies on discretion, the unexpected alliance of materials, such as marble which produce a three-dimensional decorative effects on the floors while integrating harmoniously with the functional side of the cement. Lavish chairs are installed throughout the shop, while vintage carpets are superimposed on each other to create a textured effect.The result is a space that seduces, surprises and embodies the new personality of Gucci.
