Jutta van Doornick I visited Corso Como shop short after their opening in 1990. In those days the floor was not as shiny! They started their shop in an old workshop for cars and I loved the old concrete floor full of "oily" spots! It was the most amazing shop I've ever seen before, full of crazy fashion, design furniture, stuff, stuff, stuff, and only 2 or 3 "kitchen tables" of books. Each book a treasure! Still have a paper bag with their Logo which I guess is still the same today.
