Valerio Olgiati created a store entirely made of marble for fashion label Céline in Miami

Valerio Olgiati recently completed the interior of Céline Flagship Store in Miami, USA. The facades, floors, walls, ceilings are entirely made of marble.  -text provided by the architects

A marble shell is laid over an existing two-storey structure. The facades, floors, walls, ceilings are entirely made of marble.
The blue-green Pinta Verde from Brazil is exceptional and creates a wonderful atmosphere for Céline.

More tent than boutique, this is a place where an internal universe can be imagined.

The exhibition space on the ground floor is a canopy, held by concrete pillars. These columns connect the entire building to the foundation.

The virtual world exists in parallel with the physical.

Above is a space deep inside the marble, where shoes and ready-to-wear are displayed.
