Isabel Marant, Dubaï

The Isabel Marant boutique in Dubai, located in the Mall of the Emirates - Fashion Dome, is a unique space. Long and narrow, it has two entrances and two windows facing each other. Based on these spatial characteristics, the interior design is conceived as an open plan, freeing up the central space from any clutter.

This clear structure gives the boutique an overall coherence and a fluidity of spatial perception. The impression it gives is that of a composition of different perpendicular planes assembled in three dimensions: the floor, the ceiling, the walls, and the furniture. Vertically, the mineral walls, slightly detached from the existing envelope, provide surfaces for displaying the clothing. Others, arranged freely in the space like an abstract sculpture, partition and delimit the spaces: display windows, fitting rooms, point of sale, Isabel Marant and Étoile space. Made of travertine, they are arranged like wood marquetry, creating subtle geometric combinations with the different grain patterns of the stone.

The choice of rich natural materials, such as travertine, wood, vegetable leather, and precious metals such as brass, offers a minimalist and luxurious setting for the new Isabel Marant boutique in an orderly geometric arrangement.
