This project explores memory as a spatial design tool.

The starting point was a burgundy Gucci Jackie 1961 handbag that my client's mother carried for decades. Charged with personal meaning, the object became a narrative anchor from which the entire environment was developed.

Rather than referencing the handbag directly, its emotional qualities were translated into spatial form through color, materiality, proportion, scent and atmosphere. The project investigates how objects can act as carriers of memory, and how personal narratives can be transformed into immersive spatial experiences.

The dressing room became more than a functional space, it became a physical expression of ritual, identity, and remembrance.
