Marni Opens Flagship Store in Miami
December 04, 2008

Italian fashion label Marni recently announced the opening of its flagship store in Miami, located at 3930 NE Second Ave. The boutique's design is inspired by the streamlined, rhythmic patterns of the Art Deco style for which the city is famous. Consuelo Castiglioni and architects from Sybarite played with circular forms, repeating them throughout the boutique. Patterns of semi-spheres in white timberland and "haute relief" are the signature element of the boutique. Clusters of varying-sized backlit fiberglass boxes, painted in a random spray from translucent white to natural tones, are set in the walls accommodating bags, jewelry and sunglasses. Round-tiered shoe displays in stainless steel are scattered around the space, along with round leather stools, modular seating and beige circular rugs. Mannequins sprayed from white to natural tones, hang from the ceiling, accentuating the sense of weightless suspension in space. A special area in the anti-fitting room is dedicated to the lingerie collection, which is presented in upholstered leather boxes.
