Glenn Spiro Opens Mayfair Jewellery Atelier at 26 Bruton Street with Designer Valerie Name Bolaño
A new jewellery showroom has been launched by Glenn Spiro at 26 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London, in collaboration with Venezuelan designer Valerie Name Bolaño and his son, Joe Spiro. This atelier, once the workspace of Sir Norman Hartnell—where gowns for Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret were crafted—boasts a modern aesthetic while honoring its historical roots. The space is designed to feel like a cozy salon, featuring layered materials and a soft cream color scheme. Notably, the Green Room, inspired by a jewellery box, provides clients with a secluded area. Bolaño aimed to create a homely vibe, integrating elements from the Spiro legacy, including bronze ceramic buttons in the furnishings. The design embodies Glenn Spiro's commitment to art, jewellery, and design.
