Marble Romance

The Concept

Marble Romance was envisioned as an upscale boutique clothing store that celebrates simplicity, sophistication, and form. The design merges minimalist architecture with warm, inviting details to create a retail experience where fashion is displayed as art. The goal: an interior that feels both gallery-like and welcoming, aligning with the brand’s refined yet approachable identity.

The Solution

The centerpiece of the store is a sculptural spiral staircase, designed as a functional showpiece that draws the eye and invites exploration across multiple levels. Minimalist clothing racks, crafted from matte black steel and natural oak, maintain a sleek profile, allowing the garments to take center stage. Backlit clothing displays create dramatic moments, highlighting textures and silhouettes while reinforcing the store’s gallery-like aesthetic. Warmth is introduced through oak flooring, soft tonal walls, and diffused ambient lighting, creating a balance between minimalism and comfort.

Key Features

  • Sculptural spiral staircase as an architectural focal point

  • Minimalist clothing racks blending matte black steel and natural oak

The Challenge

Retail interiors must do more than display merchandise, they must create an environment that reflects the brand’s story while encouraging customers to explore. The challenge here was to create a minimal yet luxurious space that balances clean lines with warmth, ensuring the store feels curated but never cold.

The Takeaway

Marble Romance demonstrates Minima’s approach to boutique retail: interiors that elevate the merchandise while offering customers an immersive brand experience. The result is a store where architectural statement and minimalist restraint work in harmony to create an atmosphere of elevated simplicity.
