LEATHER SPA OPENS A BOUTIQUE REPAIR SHOP INSIDE SAKS FIFTH AVENUE IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, NY, USA, February 17, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- When established accessory repair company Leather Spa was invited to open a corner inside the prestigious Saks Fifth Avenue mall, they knew they needed a new design concept to match the mall’s overall renovation. Sergio Mannino Studio proved to be the perfect match, allowing the small, 126 sq ft space to instantly catch the eyes of any customers.

While matching the modern renovation by OMA was key, it was also important to maintain the original Leather SPA branding. Mannino Studio accomplished this by using the classic brand orange color, as well as implementing a white perforated metal mesh as the main wall finish. Not only did this make for a striking visual, but it also allowed for a practical, flexible method to layout merchandise.

Around the perimeter, Mannino Studio established wooden cabinetry on a base created by using a three-dimensional ceramic by industry leaders Mutina. Along with the quality typical of the Italian brand, the crown base of tiles allows for a decorative, yet clean look, that makes full use of the small space.

This concept very much keeps with the Sergio Mannino Studio design philosophy, which includes creating design solutions that are:

• Contemporary
• Materially diverse
• Elegant
• Attentive to details
• Innovative

The studio’s touch marked the perfect combination of modernism and elegance, all while keeping within Leather Spa’s existing brand philosophy.

Design Philosophy
Today, the big question in design is how can we keep people excited? In a world where everything is changing all the time, we need to come up with invigorating design solutions that are not only sustainable, materially diverse, ethical, and politically informed - but also that will last, both functionally and aesthetically. At the studio, we’re thinking about this every day.

Sergio Mannino graduated from the University of Florence’s architecture program and worked extensively with mid-century design masters Ettore Sottsass and Remo Buti. Having grown up, studied, and worked in Italy, Mannino brings the touch of classic Italian design into every project the studio completes. From Brooklyn butcher shops to Milano chairs to Shenzhen apartments, it’s this quality’s coherence with today’s spectacle of contemporary design that SM Studio has become known for.
