The inspiration for the design of the Dolce & Gabbana boutique in Milan found its source in Italian Baroque churches.
To create a dramatic contrast to the pure geometries of the contemporary architecture, a selection of 18th century antique Italian baroque mirrors, tables and porticos are positioned in the spaces. Each floor terminates with a curved apse-like chapel. Thick and robust, these massive curved walls are finished differently on each level in polished red jasper marble or lacquered Radica wood serving as rich and colorful powerful backdrops for the collections of clothing, accessories and jewelry.
The entry level is dedicated to the women’s fashion. On this level, positioned between each window is a cadence of floor-to-ceiling confessional-like boxes.
The overall spatial approach is minimal in form but maximal in materiality, color and texture reflecting the identity and values of the Dolce & Gabbana brand

@hsternofficial is the first Brazilian luxury brand with an international reputation for creative jewelry designs with colored stones.
As CARBONDALE was commissioned to design their new stores, a cohesive spatial strategy was developed to establish the brand’s image at large, medium and small scales. At the exterior, a façade veiled in etched glass creates an exclusive architectural curtain shrouding the customers within.
To allow the expression of the striking colored stone jewelry a list of refined matt-finished materials including marble, limestone, silk textiles, black walnut wood and leathers are selected based on color-tonal variations of H Stern’s branded “Noble Gold”.

The interior design of the Dolce and Gabbana boutique in Monaco is characterized by a game of contrasts between colors.
The women area present four opulent floor-to-ceiling islands crafted in pink Quarzo rosa stone that dissociate with the black marble on the floor and walls. They are randomly positioned to create intimate zones presenting fine jewelry, women’s beachwear, the changing rooms and staircase.

When mirrors are an essential element of architectural projetcs:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️Fitting room in the @longchamp boutique in Hong Kong: the small semi-circular room contains a series of vertical mirrors radiating out at 170° to reflect the spectator positioned in the center, within an unmistakably Parisian context.
▪️Suspended digital mirror in the @bmwfrance showroom in Paris: the expansive 18 meter by 3.5 meter mirror is angled downwards at 45° to reflect the show cars positioned directly below permitting passing pedestrians & automobilists to view the cars from afar.
▪️Cubo at JK, in Sao Paulo: the four columns clad in single mirror panel perfectly reflect the adjacent vegetation and city skyline.
▪️@dolcegabbana boutique in Roma: in a contemporary baroque architectural maneuver the linear half-vaulted space is made magically whole by its reflection within a full-length mirror wall visually completing the vaulted form.
▪️Lobby lounge in Sao Paulo: a feeling of duplication made possible with the vertical mirrors of the lobby.
▪️Dolce and Gabbana boutique in Hong Kong: the large horizontal volumes are designed to gleam and glimmer, the ceiling contributes to the effect by being completely sheathed with sparkling panes of beveled mirror.
