Marni’s Eclectic Style Shines Through Thanks to MEGAMAN
Sybarite, an architecture and design practice which has a diverse portfolio of clients within the retail sector, has worked with Italian fashion house Marni over the past decade to create interior identities for the company’s stores worldwide. As part of Marni’s design philosophy, each of its retail outlets is unique. Rather than replicating the same interior in all of its stores across the globe, the company prefers to adapt its design concept to reflect the style of each location and introduce a different colour theme and feel to each installation. As a result, Marni’s Sybarite designed flagship Sloane Street store differs dramatically in feel from the warmer, more earthy design concept of Marni’s Harvey Nichols interior.
