Buccellati and Chahan Minassian Open Intimate Caviar Bar in Milan's Palazzo Gavazzi
Buccellati, the renowned jewellery brand, has unveiled a new caviar bar at its flagship location, Palazzo Gavazzi in Milan, which was designed by Chahan Minassian. This elegant venue, overlooking the courtyard, draws inspiration from Buccellati's caviar tableware collection dating back to the 1930s. It harmoniously combines Neoclassical architecture, crafted by Luigi Chierichetti in 1839, with a color scheme of silvery greys, taupes, bronze, and gold. Minassian created the furnishings using luxurious materials like velvet, Fortuny fabrics, textured leather, custom rugs, and vintage Murano glass chandeliers. The two-level bar, featuring a mezzanine, includes copper, silver, and mirrored panels, and displays Buccellati's pieces alongside Ginori and the Furry Animals series. The address is Via Monte Napoleone, 23, 20121 Milan, Italy.
