The colour pink, the symbol of Palazzo Avino Hotel, and the sea are the starting point for the project which follows a signature look developed ad hoc to establish a dialogue with the building and its surroundings. The boutique stands a few yards from the hotel entrance. In a setting of dusty pink which characterizes the walls and the high ceilings with a soaring cross vault, on the floor inlaid polychromatic marble stands out, recreating the changing shades of the seabed: from the tones of aquamarine green to liberty green and to Aegean pink. Transparencies and reflecting surfaces pervade the space and some accessories to recall the surface of the sea, while the walls are partially covered in enamelled ceramic tiles in shells shape in a mixture of shades of pale green and pink, blending on to the walls until they disappear. The central island is a functional microarchitecture covered in mirrors on the side facing the entrance and in soft nabuk leather on the side facing the fitting room. The space reveals showcases with wonders, small chairs and furniture with delicate volumes designed for the occasion, while the fitting room is a soft and padded niche, covered in decorated carpet. Completing the design with refined decorative touches, two large suspension lamps inspired by the world of jewellery, a rotating mirror with an incorporated visor and a mosaic in marble and mirror enriching the frame of the showcase.
