The 3,800 sq. ft. Ultimo San Francisco Boutique was conceived as a red chinoiserie box. Within the boutique, a vaulted ivory ceiling plane floated to conceal ambient lighting that spilled onto the walls and perimeter vitrines as luminescent veils of projected light. A ramp and bluestone display platform led to a stair placed between a silicon bronze wall and a two-story wall of translucent Rosa Portugalo marble, rising through the double height atrium.

The luxurious material palette extends to custom display fixtures designed by Gabellini Sheppard for the space. Silk scrolls, water white mirror panels and walnut trapeze bars are suspended from the ceiling by black tensile fabric cord. The walnut furniture was designed in collaboration with George Nakashima Woodworkers to create a dramatic backdrop to the different collections on display.
