Marni has opened a boutique in Piazza San Marco
Interiors in Venetian stucco and windows overlooking the Basilica celebrate the cultural link between the city and the brand
May 24th, 2023
The latest work by the Marni architecture team has designed a store in the heart of the city of Venice, a space dedicated to Francesco Risso's men's and women's designs that celebrate the brand's artistic vision and the city's cultural heritage in total respect of the two parts. The boutique with large windows under grating lunettes has been inserted between the colonnades of Piazza San Marco, and has Venetian stucco walls inside, a Calacatta marble mosaic floor, and graceful ivory finishes. Each element of the new boutique draws inspiration from the architectural codes of Venice.
A large spiral staircase draws the attention of visitors, wrapping itself in the center of the new store in golden stripes, forming a voluminous silhouette and illuminating the neutral colours room. The ceiling takes up the tones of the exteriors with bronze details, bringing new light to the environment. The display of Marni items follows a minimal system, dictated by the precision and care of the brand's team of experts. A glass case placed on silver tiles, a shelf in Venetian stucco, and then the footwear area, inserted in front of the window overlooking the Basilica of San Marco, and which will let in the light of the Venetian sunset every evening.
