Bulgari’s new flagship store on Fifth Avenue, New York, is now open. Redesigned by Peter Marino, the store presents a mix of Italian masters of design along with Marino’s modern touch. The door, for instance, is a replica of the Baroque Via Condotti door from 1930, while the Gio Ponti chandeliers are from the 1960s and were originally hanging in Parco dei Principi hotel’s ballroom in Rome. The mezzanine floor has a lounge displaying a dazzling selection of vintage Bulgari jewels from the ‘70s, and the lounge itself is inspired by the Salottino Taylor where Elizabeth Taylor admired jewelry. To celebrate the opening of their Fifth Avenue flagship store, Bulgari has also launched a capsule collection of jewelry inspired by New York. Perfect combination!
