AB Concept’s design philosophy is clear:
“Every project we create should be a legacy for our clients. We are selective and only commit to projects that we feel passionate about, those that evoke an emotional response or spark our collective imaginations. It starts with an overarching theme that serves as the foundation. From this basis grows a story and design concept, evolving into a strong narrative”.
AB Concept’s most recent projects include the famous Paper Moon Giardino restaurant in Milan as well as the Lalique flagship store in Shanghai, the first showroom of the brand commissioned to an outside firm.
With forest and the female form being the main sources of inspiration for Lalique’s glass creations, the façade features floor-to-ceiling marugame charcoal wood in a wave and striking black marble to portray the modern equivalent of an enchanting mythical forest.
The design for Paper Moon Giardino takes its inspiration from the area’s eclectic history and architecture to create an elegant and calming sanctuary within bustling Milan. Guests are invited to unwind at informal table settings in a casual and homey, yet elegant, setting.
