Diving into Eredi Zucca's Barberia
The new flagship location, designed thoughtfully by The Guild of Saint Luke, encapsulates the historical soul of Eredi Zucca. A veil of linen curtains and the melodic ring of a bell unveils a dim, cool space bathed in black panelled walls, and ornate mosaic floors reminiscent of a bygone era.
Stepping into this barbershop evokes a distinct neoclassical vibe, as present in the millwork's Corinthian columns and the green marble countertops. Three luxurious private rooms for shaving, haircare, and facial treatments await, each exuding comfort thanks to plush green velvet barber chairs. The rooms also feature a leather strop for sharpening razors and brass trays displaying professional tools.
Accessible via a discreet staircase, a breathtaking subterranean suite reveals itself. This elegant space boasts barrel vaults reminiscent of the ceiling of La Scala and floors salvaged from a 19th-century church, adding to its grandeur. The shop is peppered with hidden rooms, drawers, and shelves, contributing to its timeless ambiance.
More than a hundred exquisite shaving and self-care products lie scattered throughout the shop, displayed artfully on wooden pedestals behind dome display cases.
It's the details that really set Eredi Zucca apart. Accessories such as a shaving bowl and a straight razor are made from premium materials like horn and ebony, each item telling a story of the company's history and Milanese origin.
