LUXURY DESIGN The first of two entries is located on the upper level off of the Boulevard des Moulin. This rectangular space is conceived as an oversized architectural wardrobe displaying an irresistible visual cocktail of bags, shoes and accessories. Inspired by the photography of Helmut Newton the space blends the contrasts of sharp orthogonal geometries lined with black nero marquina marble with the crisp facets of an entirely mirrored ceiling and rhythmically mirrored walls. Together the combination of sharp and burry architectural surfaces creates an intangible and magical impression as if stepping inside a jewel. From lower level, a second discreet VIP private entry is accessed from the Avenue de la Madone. Upon entering, a long narrow space architecturally interprets the famous swirling “007 gun-barrel” with dramatic alternating spirals of black marble and pink Quarzo rosa stone lining the floor, walls and ceiling. The elegant and dynamic volume intimately displays the women’s Serra clothing, shoes and accessories. Issue 44 2020 The Art of Luxury 65
