Article source: lamatilde The former San Maurizio monastery dates back to 1619 and it has been the memory of local knowledge and traditions for four hundred years, a place of culture of food, wine and wellness, for body and soul. The preservation and the divulgation of this heritage are intrinsic and essential finalities.  Image Courtesy © lamatilde

Volumes are simple by choice and materials are typically local, the characteristic decorative elements come from the drawings designed on purpose by artist Nicola Oliveri, inspired by botanical monastic documentations. The essences of the products are crystallized inside the resin artworks of designer Marco Stefanelli. The first flagship store San Maurizio 1619 was opened in Turin in November 2015, after two months of preparatory works.

They are being illuminated from inside in order to bring out luminescent hazelnuts and pomegranates.

The following space has more homey image: a platform on the wall papered glass floor with a small stone basin serves as a testing area.  Image Courtesy © lamatilde  Image Courtesy © lamatilde
