The Bvlgari double-storey store at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) has reopened after more than four months of renovations, unveiling uber-luxe interiors designed by Peter Marino.

The award-winning American interior designer drew inspiration from Roman architectural masterpieces such as the Pantheon to design the interiors which showcase Roman tradition juxtaposed with Italian innovation.

The revamped Bvlgari store is a mecca of fine jewellery, handbags and accessories.

The duplex will also be the exclusive home to seven one-of-a-kind bags and clutches including a Serpenti top handle bag in shiny green croco that features a stunning Serpenti Dragone high jewellery hardware.

This fully diamond-paved snakehead design can be transformed in three ways – from a bag closure to a pendant or brooch.

This Serpenti bag is sold exclusively at the MBS boutique and features a high jewellery hardware which can be converted into a bag closure or a piece of jewellery

To mark the opening of the store and to fete the holiday spirit, Bvlgari has also launched the More Than A Wish campaign in the mall.

From now to December 31, spot a complimentary sampan ride down the Bvlgari-branded Canal or take part in an interactive game around the mall and stand a chance to win a three-day-two-night stay at the Bvlgari Resort Bali in Uluwatu worth $2,250.

An eight-pointed burgundy-coloured star inlaid in the gleaming, creamy marble floor greets visitors as they enter the boutique.

And the reason why it is so strategically placed at the entrance of the store of one of Italy’s oldest jewellery brands? It is the Condotti eight-pointed star, made with red porphyry, an igneous rock containing large-grained crystals and the unifying emblem of Bvlgari’s first store in the Via dei Condotti in Rome, built in 1905. It signifies balance, harmony and cosmic order.

The eight lines represent the four cardinal points and time represented by the two solstices and two equinoxes. It is now found in all Bvlgari boutiques around the world.

The star also stands for “Roma Caput Mundi” which is Latin for “Rome is the capital of the world” as well as the phrase “All roads lead to Rome”.

Marino, has also designed oval-shaped counters in light galvanised iron that are inspired by the works of celebrated Italian architect Carlo Scarpa.

There is also a private oval sales room that harks back to the days of Elizabeth Taylor, when the actress visited Via dei Condotti during the 1960s, also called the golden years of Italy’s dolce vita (Italian for “sweet life”).
