Dec. 12 - Miu Miu, famous brand of the Prada Group, recently opened its second store in Macau - in the prestigious Four Seasons Galleria department store. The Miu Miu shop, designed by the architect Roberto Baciocchi, offers ready-to-wear clothing, handbags and shoes. The decor reflects the brand’s personality: the windows are integrated into the facade with glass and metal screens backlit with light boxes framed in matte gold profiles. The interior, which extends over 305 m2 on a single level, is composed of three large spaces communicating through mirror passages. The style chosen by Miu Miu evokes the charm of a bank vault, where individual products are presented to customers as precious objects. The rest of the furniture is composed of damask sofas and chairs to entertain clients.
