To mark the reopening of Louis Vuitton’s historic location at No. 2 Via Monte Napoleone, Fantini Mosaici – which has already delivered prestigious works for the brand’s boutiques around the world – contributed to the creation of the flooring for the exclusive Da Vittorio Caffè Louis Vuitton.
The courtyard is conceived as an elegant jardin d’hiver and features at its center a floor where the original design by artist Martin Klein comes to life through a composition of natural marble pebbles, crafted using the traditional reverse mosaic technique on paper. The stones, all sourced in Italy—including Carrara, Occhialino, Giallo Siena, and Fior di Pesco marbles—were selected to create a nuanced gradient of whites, greys, and blacks.
Covering approximately 88 square meters, the flooring required three months of work in the workshop and twenty days of on-site installation, carried out by a highly specialized team.
This collaboration is part of the broader restoration of Palazzo Taverna, a historic residence dating back to 1835, originally designed by Ferdinando Albertolli. Thanks to the vision of architect Peter Marino, the building has been transformed into a multifunctional space blending fashion, design, and fine dining—redefining the brand experience in the heart of Milan.
In this context, Fantini Mosaici’s contribution goes well beyond the courtyard: the company also oversaw the installation of marble floors, cladding and staircases across approximately 2,500 square meters, including the spectacular monumental staircase that connects the different levels of the store.
