Just below the street level and after walking down the sculptural staircase you enter a space marked by material contrasts and references to the great masters of the design world: from the design of the back doors, which recall some of Jean Prouvé’s design solutions – here in a posh version –, to the interlocking partitions that wink to the meticulous design of Carlo Scarpa’s details.
