This highly exclusive shoe store is defined by its sparkle and refined glamour. Shoppers enter under a glittering “raining” canopy of strands thread with thousands of crystal beads; each bead an inch in diameter. Inside, an equally impressive spiral couch boasts upholstery incorporating over 100,000 tiny Swarovski crystals. This Italian designed seating seduces shoppers into trying on merchandize which, in some cases, cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Over the couch, A Roger Thomas chandelier hangs from the rotunda ceiling; and glass shelving, anchored by champagne colored powder-coat finished metal, moves fluidly along the interior’s round perimeter. Directly under the contemporary chandelier, the carpet’s four bold concentric bands encircle the crystal encrusted couch; at once assuring its impact and reinforcing an overall sense of elegant dynamism.
