The new antoniolupi space will be unveiled during the busiest week of the year and we will finally find out how close-knit pair of architects Calvi Brambilla chose to renovate this large space. From no less than 14 full-length windows, we will be able to admire a sequence of bathrooms, characterised by consecutive and irregular faces that aim to demphasise the artful arrangement of the products on display. Their inspiration, Sultan Suleiman’s hammam, was a vision of how the architects should no longer think of the space as a mere display cabinet for the company’s products, but as a “place for socialising, meeting people, a place to do business and form alliances”.
