Bulgari?s flagship store in Kuala Lumpur has opened with a new fac?ade that imagines the luxury brand?s heritage, and experiments with traditional materials. The storefront is the first in a series of MVRDV fac?ade designs for the luxury brand. This concrete and resin facade is permeated by gold light to create a marble-veined fac?ade.
