The Moliera 2 boutique featuring such luxury brands is located in the prestigious neighborhood of the Metropolitan building in Warsaw, where elegant shops, clubs and restaurants mingle harmoniously with historic architecture. The project aspired both to match with the urban backdrop and to fit in the context of the high profile of the international brands that were to be handled by the boutique. Therefore, an obvious reference for the project was the world standard for this class of fashion boutiques, supplemented by some new and individually designed elements that were lifted from a Valentino creation – a characteristic application in the shape of a rose on a leather bag. The brand's emblematic figure was used in this project as an over-scaled decorative motif: large cream and black wall reliefs in the form of a rose broke the minimalistic style of the interior, and become one of the most important distinguishing features of Warsaw's Valentino boutique.
