Italy is cutting edge when it comes to cool, new, inventive things and here is one great idea the “Design Supermarket” in Milan. It’s white, it’s bright and it looks super chic and oh so designer.
This store is a cool reminder of “The Conran Shop” which is under the Queensboro bridge in Manhattan. This supermarket has opened in the basement of La Rinascente, the largest department store in Milan and carries the most current home decor, travel items with designer boutique inserts.
The space also has a beautifully designed cafe, the colors alone are so upbeat they make you want to shop and eat. I love that the cafe is in the center of the space with open visuals to the rest of the store and not holed away in the basement like the cafe at Barneys NY. There’s something about light and air that makes a place inviting.
If you are going to Milan today, tomorrow or sometime in the near future a stop at the Design Supermarket is a sure bet for wondrous designer finds.
