this store is a must,
set within a 16th-century palazzo in renowned Roman square
Piazza di Spagna, the Dolce &
Gabbana store has been decadently designed by Paris and Brazil-based
studio Carbondale to
reflect "a city synonymous with magnificence and uniqueness",
"Rome is a baroque city built by artists and architects
such as Francesco Borromini and Gian Lorenzo Bernin – their creations are vital
and characterized by a hyper-reality," explained the brand,
"The designers wanted to bring to life this baroque
inspiration in a contemporary way, with modern materials and techniques."
mosaic appears in the store's 22-metre-long "grand
room" where small pieces of gold, red and Burgundy stone have been used to
clad two huge domes in the ceiling,
this is complemented by the accessory display plinths and
clothing rails, which are crafted from brass, and the scarlet-coloured walls
and velvet sofas, the floor and peripheral structural columns have been covered
with 15 different types of marble,
other spaces in the store have been completed with rich
walnut surfaces and Murano glass chandeliers, in case you think this store is unique, this is the fourth Dolce & Gabbana branch to open in
Italy's capital, joining another store in the city centre and two more in
Rome's regional airport Fiumicino, now that's what you call shopping in style!
