In 1966, Hans Hollein designed the Retti candle shop for a site just 12ft wide. "...designed like a sparkling aluminium jewellery box, with a grand triumphal entrance in the shape of a cartoonish ionic column punched through its metallic facade, framed by glazed display windows on either side, (it) pulled out at angles towards the street. This thin curtain of aluminium continued within, forming a reflective backdrop to displays of candles, arranged like grand organ pipes beneath bespoke globe light fittings."
