The architect has decided to make this boutique quite different from the average clothes shop. Italian dress collections have suggested a surprising way of its decor: a tailor's workshop, with sale assistant as a host. Originally the boutique room consisted of two separate rooms with posts. The partition between the rooms was broken down; the rusty coating of posts was cleaned out and then gilded. One of them, domed with gauzy textile, is the dominant of the interior dividing the room into the entrance area and the show-room. The principle colours of the interior are claret and grey in its variations. Such a combination brings a severe style, maintained by Italian clothes. The forged trees where clothes are hung are a special feature of the interior. They cast fancy shadows onto the walls taking part in light and shade game that is reinforced with lights - glass dummies.
