giant bambu in milan
a chocolate factory converted into the sophisticated
headquarters of Pomellato, the famous jewelry brand. The
intervention brief was to convert the courtyard into a
garden of oriental inspiration marking the contrast between
the peace which it inspires and the reality of the jewelry
company. The space welcomes visitors and clients in addition
to hosting company events. The strong choice of red lacquer
on the walls brings out the delicate green and the suppleness
of the giant bamboo which arise from islands suspended in a
pond fed by a fountain. The murmur of the water and the rustle
of leaves invite a moment of silence and reflection, transforming
even a rapid walk through the courtyard into something special.
