Describing the store fit out, the Italian brand said the new boutiques boasts “sophisticated and natural materials, such as glass, oxidized wood and resin, Grès stone, the chiaroscuri of the sands and the warm greys alternate with luminous touches of colour.”

Key elements on display are the latest Molteni&C collection and Dada’s VVD kitchen, which dominates the large terrace overlooking the main street.
