For beautiful geometric jewelry in hard stones within a tiny space:
a side with pilasters whose glass shafts act as display cases, their brass capitals serve as air vents, and their padded walnut bases function as drawers, facing a tall mirror that reflects it alongside a ceiling with semicircular reliefs and a red jasper hemisphere at its center.
A black Marquina geometric floor with small pieces of red jasper. Two tufted sofas in dark grey leather. Some fired stucco in the same color.
A glass façade fitted into the existing plain opening. A Yugoslav marble portal with descending steps towards the interior. This frame was meant to seem as if it were carved into the surrounding glass, which was flush with the façade plane. The architects from the Heritage Protection department asked us to pull back the glass, deeming it disrespectful to the building... and, like all our shops in the city, it is now destroyed. My God, what a profession...
