An exquisite element joins the spaces that already make up Palazzo Avino: The Pink Closet.In the magical atmosphere of the historic dwelling perched on the picturesque cliffs of Ravello, an exclusive boutique designed by the architect Cristina Celestino is opening.

The colour pink, the symbol of the Hotel, and the sea are the starting point for the project which follows a signature look developed ad hoc to establish a dialogue with the building and its surroundings. A cosy and sophisticated scenario perfectly balanced between the land and sea, where nature has been transposed in regular geometries.

The boutique stands a few yards from the hotel entrance and access is through a store window looking on to the street. After you cross the threshold, the perception is that of being in a contemporary grotto, with shadows of the sea that fade out in the depths. In a setting of dusty pink which characterizes the walls and the high ceilings with a soaring cross vault, on the floor inlaid polychromatic marble stands out, recreating the changing shades of the seabed: from the tones of aquamarine green to liberty green and to Aegean pink.

The space is characterized by the echoes between finishes and materials which connote the architectonic elements and the furnishings, between smooth and textured surfaces and others that are more finished and lacquered.Transparencies and reflecting surfaces of antiqued mirrors pervade the space and some accessories to recall the surface of the sea, while the walls are partially covered in enamelled ceramic shells in a mixture of shades of pale green and pink, blending on to the walls until they disappear.

The central island is a functional microarchitecture covered in mirrors on the side facing the entrance and in soft nabuk leather on the side facing the fitting room.The space, filled with original shapes and exquisite details, discreetly reveals showcases with wonders, small chairs and furniture with delicate volumes designed for the occasion, while the fitting room is a soft and padded niche, covered in decorated carpet.

Completing the design with refined decorative touches, two large suspension lamps inspired by the world of jewellery, a rotating mirror with an incorporated visor and an exquisite micro-mosaic in marble and mirror enriching the frame of the showcase.
