The spaces are "born" through the needs and aspirations of their owner. So when they change, they do the same. This is exactly what interior designers Evelina Hatzigoula and Elena Diamantopoulou took advantage of and transformed an old warehouse, just 6.5 sq.m., in Kifissia, into an impressive jewelry store.

Without doubt the Bliss is a place where austerity prevails, giving a subtle
