Oratio
Interior Design · Product Design
Located on Via Santo Spirito, in the heart of Milan’s fashion district, the project transformed a Tadao Ando-designed space into Oratio’s flagship boutique.
The intervention focused on preserving the architectural integrity and material rigor of the existing interior while introducing the warmth and sophistication envisioned by the brand. The aim was to create an intimate and refined retail environment that could coexist naturally with Ando’s strong geometries and minimal language.
Our contribution combined interior and product design. On the lower floor, we introduced a dedicated tailor’s fitting room to create a more private and personalized customer experience. Throughout the boutique, we designed bespoke furniture and clothing rails conceived specifically for the display of the collections.
On the upper floor, a custom dressoire was integrated into the central architectural element, reinforcing its role in organizing the space and guiding circulation. A large bespoke meeting table was also developed around the client’s functional requirements and desired aesthetic.
The result is a careful balance between architectural restraint, functionality, and warmth, allowing the identity of the original space and that of Oratio to coexist.
