This old store, a retail establishment typical of the Padova area, has been transformed into a modern, trendy space. Minimal design, in the use of space and furnishing is enhanced by materials which are ‘a far cry’ from current design dictates. The huge brass, satin finished sheet together with wenge and maple veneer finishes, are the main ingredients that make up the décor.The way the various activities are organised on different floors, has transformed the stairway and the transparent structure of the lift into the vertical axes around which all spaces converge.
