Five “Precious Boxes” concentrate the program—VIP area, temporary art installation space, exterior lounge, back office, and signage—leaving the space between the boxes as an exhibition gallery. Three of the boxes are located inside the store, and two are outside, extending the exhibition gallery onto the terraces. The boxes are clad in gold stainless steel panels with a mirror‑reflective finish. The cutting of the steel panels has been deformed, creating slightly wavy joints that produce subtle surface distortions on the orthogonal boxes. These deformations distort the reflections on the boxes.
The interior space, defined only by three glass façades, is illuminated by a backlit matte white textile ceiling, providing even and intense lighting that avoids reflections on the golden boxes while emphasizing their distorted effects.

Each of the boxes features a horizontal slit at eye level in one of its corners, creating two display areas: one attached to the façade that functions as a window toward the exterior, and another that opens into the interior of the store. On the exterior terrace by the sea, there are two additional boxes of different sizes: one serves as a lounge bed with a display, and the other, smaller, houses the store’s sole signage.

The result is a collection of abstract sculptural pieces that reflect a golden and subtly distorted environment. The project reflects on the world of luxury, proposing a play of illusion and appearances—where things seem to be what they are not—so that the simple, orthogonal boxes appear wavy and distorted, while the marina and yachts are reflected as radiant, complex, and sublime.
