Only in Milan could you find a barbershop as sophisticated as Eredi Zucca’s new flagship. The salon, located in the design capital’s Quadrilatero della Moda shopping district, is an example of gentlemanly elegance with an interior rooted in sophisticated design codes and heritage.

Eredi Zucca offers a selection of items for men’s self-care which includes products for skin, hair, body and other grooming essentials.

The new flagship space, designed by The Guild of Saint Luke, captures the core essence of Eredi Zucca’s history.

The interiors are distinctly neoclassical in flavour, with Corinthian columns carved into the millwork, green marble countertops and ornate plasterwork. The shop houses three private rooms for shaving, haircare and facial treatments. In each room comfort is key, as demonstrated by plush green velvet barber chairs. Other details include a leather strop for sharpening razors, and brass trays holding and displaying tools.

One level down, via a tucked-away staircase, is a spectacular subterranean suite with barrel vaults inspired by the ceiling of La Scala and floors salvaged from a 19th-century church.

More than a hundred shaving and self-care products are available for purchase and each is displayed like a miniature sculpture on wooden pedestals behind dome display cases.

It’s this attention to finer details that sets Eredi Zucca apart. The brand’s philosophy is built on valuing the beauty in everyday rituals. It offers an environment where everything is considered and steeped in tradition — the perfect sanctuary in which to relax, ponder and indulge.
