You are one of the most important presences in the Brera Design District, how has the district changed over the years and how important is it for new companies to have the opportunity to exhibit in Brera?

Brera, with its famous Academy, art galleries and luxury brands showrooms, seemed just the ideal place to build Florim Flagship store. For this reason, in 2009, we opened our first permanent space in Via Fatebenefratelli and in 2015 we moved to Foro Buonaparte, in a location that allowed us to double the space available, around 1000 SQM.
