strenght
The environment that stimulates all senses.
Lighting
The lighting choice is designed to create a smooth transition between light and shade. Suffused light for the store. Spot-on, warm lights for the display case to magnify fragrances’ nuances.
Metalworks
Metal was chosen after an accurate research for the right metal colour and finish: a specific alloy of copper and brass. All metal details – from lights to signboards – were moulded through different and refined craftsmanship techniques.
Shou sugi ban
All joinery and furniture are made of spruce coming from The Magnificent Mountain Community of Val di Fiemme (South Tyrol – Italy). The wood was worked using an ancient Japanese technique called Shou Sugi Ban (焼杉板), which preserve and enhance wood natural features through a step-by-step process: heat treatment until carbonization, baths, mechanical rubbing, and oil-rubbing it at the end. This technique is completely ecological; it enables to strengthen the wood, giving a rich warm colour to its surface, and sending out a distinctive and enveloping woody scent.
Location
The boutique is a glimpse of Patagonia in the hearth of Milano, next to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
A prestigious, highly visible corner shop that captures attention with its uniqueness and mysterious allure.
