A signature of the Piombo brand, ‘Sky Blue’ is the brainchild of creative director Massimo Piombo, who also serves as creative director for OVS
 
In the 1,550-square-foot boutique, Piombo unveils the graphic and colorful universe of a brand with an accessible positioning, anchored on color and graphics.

“My biggest goal is to inspire and encourage customers to let their imagination run free says Piombo. “Italian style and its infinite variety infuse my creations – art, travel, culture rooted in the beauty of my country. We chose Spring Street as our New York location, a dynamic cosmopolitan setting that encourages exploration and curiosity.” 
 
Spring Street is the second boutique opened by the Piombo brand, after the one opened in Italy, in the ski resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo. A third one opened last week in Madrid and the next one will be in Paris next May.
