Brazilian fashion imprint FARM Rio has opened up the doors to its second London location in the Marylebone Village area. The charming space is designed by Brazilian architect Renata Gaia and it brings forth concepts of the lush beauty of the country's fauna and flora. The team tapped a slew of artists from all over the globe to help with the store interior and the artful experience kicks off at the entrance where Amazonian artist Maquson da Silva sets the tone.
French artist Dominique Jardy creates watercolor paintings onto the walls, Rosalila adds a sculptural mirror using natural palm fibers to craft, and English artists Carlie Allan and Daniel Bland complete the space with finishing touches throughout. Bronze sculptures by Walmor Corrêa were also exclusively created for FARM Rio.
