Local design firm Eligo Studios has created a captivating showroom in Milan for Italian winemaker Masciarelli Tenute Agricole. The space is led by the design unit which is coated in a burgundy tonal leather finish in the middle of the apartment-style space.
It was on Corso Magenta and the ambiance is warm and welcoming where visitors would sample the wines and experience a deeper connection with the brand's culture in a more informal setting. The studio joined the brand on a closer brief to reflect its passion for art as well. Founder of Eligo studio, Alberto Nespoli speaks to Dezeen about the design project, stating "We strongly believe that retail spaces should have a domestic, experiential and welcoming atmosphere. We look to avoid cliches and fashions and instead create a timeless aesthetic."
