The interior of the jewellers, by the Belgian designer Britt Van Namen, results in an ode to femininity. To create this enchanting space, a surface with a velvet, tactile appearance was needed: Ideal Work’s Microtopping® was chosen as the perfect material to give the environment a strong look without appearing too intrusive.

The designer wanted the client to feel as if they were stepping into a ‘bubble’ where the only things that exist are beauty and the glitter of jewels.
