What to expect at LuisaViaRoma La Terrazza by Floret

There’s a real move towards mindfulness in this space – a welcome surprise, given its location inside Italy’s biggest fashion concept store. Flora and fauna sprawl from every free corner, and simple wooden side tables nestle up to soft pink sofas and rattan baskets – adding to the natural, yet contemporary, look. There’s a Nordic charm to the space – the neutral-toned ceramics, organic shapes and muted palette easily conjure Scandi stillness. And once inside, you’ll forget the droves of fashion-forward shoppers prowling the racks of one of Italy’s busiest fashion stores below.
