The new shop has an “L” shape, where, in the widest part facing the public road, takes place the sales activities, while in the deepest part there are office, warehouse and service areas.
The design’s process challenge was to expose at least 500 glasses giving however to the customer the feel to be in a boutique and not in a department store.
