The restyled showroom of

Zucchetti. Kos in Milan, designed

by the studio Ludovica+Roberto

Palomba, rearranges the space to

offer professionals a place to view

the collections by the company and

to discover the compositional

potentials and imagine ad hoc

solutions. The new showroom

intends to be a place of encounter,

meeting and exchange.

The Swedish clothes brand Gina

Tricot has asked Note and Open Studio

to design its new flagship store in

Stockholm. In addition to keeping

the building’s historic elements, the

key challenge was to create a flexible

yet coherent model for the other 180

shops and to enhance the experience

of shopping, creating a meeting place

and snack bar on the upper floor.
