Elena Rahman — October 14, 2021 — Art & Design
Fashion brand Sunnei transformed a former recording studio in Milan into its new headquarters. The brand renovated the interior of the studio to create a minimalist layout to better showcase its products. The headquarters acts as a canvas for furniture and art pieces by collaborators of the brand.
Dubbed studio Palazzina Sunnei, the store's name references typical Milanese residential buildings to fit into its surroundings. The studio is organized as a series of livable spaces, which includes a photo studio, a showroom, an archive, and meeting rooms. It also houses an office space for the fashion brand's team. The expansive space occupies three floors of art-filled areas, which offer a dynamic design scheme throughout the layout.
