The Milan flagship store features two glazed cylinders connecting the ground and first floors, each developed with a distinct architectural purpose.

The smaller inclined tube creates a visual connection between the two levels, allowing views through the building and reinforcing the relationship between the spaces. The larger vertical cylinder encloses a spiral staircase, creating a physical connection between floors while becoming a defining architectural feature within the store.

The project required the integration of bespoke curved glazing within a concealed structural support system. Steel drums were first installed and fixed to the building structure, creating the primary framework to which the curved glass panels were connected using specialist point-fixed supports.
