Secret Garden Shoe Shops

Studio Ginger Designs Wittner Store in Melbourne

— December 31, 2011 — Business
Offering a sleek, contemporary interior design with a green twist, the Wittner store by Studio Ginger is a place where shoe fanatics can get both high-end footwear and an ethereal shopping experience.

The most prominent design detail of the space is a vertical garden that beckons shoppers at the Chadstone shopping center in Melbourne, Australia, to enter. Studio Ginger enlisted Fytogreen, specialists in vertical gardens and green facades, to create this stunning wall that provides the feeling of being in 'The Secret Garden,' as Activated Space describes.

The garden wall also offers interesting contrast against the rest of the store's sleek and modern interior, which Studio Green has infused with black acrylic shelves, glossy tiles and haute quilted walls to bring attention to the boutique's luxury footwear.
