Visitors who swing by will notice that the second floor of the store sports a futuristic look with sleek metal surfaces, aluminium and brass bars as well as a lightscape mimicking the stars. The intergalactic scenography is the work of renowned Milan-based design outfit JoAnn Tan Studio who was inspired by the set in Stanley Kubrick’s seminal show 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). But the attraction does not stop there. The Hour Glass also commissioned four trailblazers in the contemporary design scene to create limited edition objets d'art that interpret the beauty and the essence of time.
