| This flagship’s playful reflection and warm, inviting niches help customers connect to a sophisticated brand. Using one-of-a-kind, vintage pieces and custom-designed furniture, the timeless space can evolve. The basement lounge area is a custom mannequin alcove, acting as an evolving runway, while a monochromatic color palette allows the products’ dynamic colors to stand out. Beaded wall coverings sparkle above each section creating a dynamic, but subtle effect as customers walk through the store, and bevel-edge mirrored tiles along the back wall occasionally protrude outward as mannequin platforms. |

| Strong horizontal lines, low sightlines, and a simple floor plan with open ceilings create a simple, yet striking visual appearance to this new concept store. Inspired by the brand’s high-end prototype, the factory store applies a modern design aesthetic using natural wood materials, chrome details, and a warm color palette displayed in a clean, open space. Elevated table displays and shelving units in the 3,000- to 3,500-sq.-ft. space’s three distinct salons optimize visual merchandising. |

| A mixed-use retailer devoting 9,000 sq. ft. to retail and 3,000 sq. ft. to a salon and cafe, Deegie’s Carma interior juxtaposes clean, natural materials with curvilinear patterns in a vibrant color palette. Cool greens and blues differentiate the men’s department from the warm oranges and pinks of the women’s department, and a starburst motif in the logo is reinforced through graphic patterns on the walls and fixtures. Neutral maple floors and wall shelving in the retail area are complemented by stained white oak flooring on the main floor and cafe stage, which is accessible by a fashion runway-like ramp. |
