Upstairs, the kitchen features a rainbow motif and original checkerboard floor; hallways bear a kaleidoscope of wallpaper prints; and Martin\u2019s office (The Download Den) has a custom intarsia rug inspired by Italian churches. \u201cEven the elevator has a galactic print inside of it,\u201d Martin says. \u201cIt\u2019s like a spaceship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The move was long overdue. For years, the team operated from a corner of a showroom owned by Martin\u2019s business partner (and ex-husband) Andrea Ciccoli. By 2025, over 80 employees were \u201csquashed into a tiny space,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was hilarious. We were like an anthill.\u201d Now the entire company, including design, e-commerce, and back-office teams, is united under one roof.<\/p>\n<p>As Martin recounts in her 2023 coffee-table missive Mamma Milano, the brand\u2019s ethereal ethos was there from the start. She had moved to Milan from New York in 2001 to follow Ciccoli, then her boyfriend, to his motherland. After they married, Martin struggled with infertility and consulted an energy healer for guidance and support. \u201cI stepped into a new world,\u201d she says. \u201cI didn\u2019t get pregnant, but soon I started creating like crazy and out popped the company.\u201d La DoubleJ launched in 2015 as an e-commerce website for Martin\u2019s massive collection of vintage fashion and jewelry, then grew to encompass everything from ready-to-wear to vases and scented candles. At this year\u2019s Milan Design Week, the new outdoor collection of poufs, pillows, and tables will be presented on the plant-filled garden terrace that frames the rooftop deck.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Alecia Nugent Clothing Pants Jeans Adult Person Coat Face Head Photography Portrait and People\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/AD0426_LA_DOUBLE_J_8%20copy.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>La DoubleJ founder J.J.
