In one of the historic streets in the centre of Padua, not far from the Scrovegni Chapel, Crown Bijoux is an intimate boutique housed in an ancient palace of great value. The project was developed starting from the enhancement of the authentic structure, characterized by exposed brick arches and a beautiful stone floor that give a great character to the central space.

The chromatic choices start from the natural tones of the stone to widen the range to shades of beige, cream and intense greys that, together with shaved velvets and brocades, give life to a soft and enveloping atmosphere. To leave room for the environment, the exhibition areas have been set up on the two side walls, with a system of natural wood slats that intersect to create shelves at various heights. From here, a series of spotlights descend to support the central lighting, creating additional lighting points. On the lower floor, under the ancient vaulted ceiling, there is a small showroom space whose charm has been preserved by working exclusively on the floor, enlivened by a system of natural wood discs that give an original and contemporary touch.
