《Max Mara Flagship Store Opens @ Central》

Max Mara opens its Hong Kong largest flagship store in St. Georges Building at the junction between Ice House Street and Chater Road. Designed by acclaimed architect Duccio Grassi Architects, this 2-level, 450 square meters, contemporary artistic space is, it will stand in the heart of the most prestigious shopping district of Central amongst other recognized luxury names in the world.
The new store has integrated the elements of technology with the simplicity of nature; it is an innovative, thoroughly modern, elegant retail environment that reflects the brand’s commitment to aesthetics, creativity and craftsmanship. Max Mara’s use of LED screens can be seen outside at the two shop windows and inside along the stairs. With this setup, the screens will serve as an effective guiding post to lead the customers throughout the first level and the basement to ensure a natural flow through this prime property.
The flagship store fully reflects Max Mara’s unique Italian design concept, evoking the architectural glamour of the House’s iconic boutique whilst showing the novelties in terms of materials and architectural choices, such as mixing cold materials –stone and metal – with natural ligneous furniture. The flooring, walls and ceiling of the store space are clad with ashed oak wood which not only reflect the nature design concept, but also echo the sensibility of Max Mara, which combines to convey the impression of a kind of ancient fossil forest that is attention captivating.
Amidst the gentle harmonious white, ivory, pale rose colour- schemed open space interior, Max Mara presents its garment glory by showcasing the latest collection of leather goods, footwear, accessories, a range of ready-to-wear and masterpieces from the limited collection. The new flagship store plays an important role in expanding Max Mara’s profile and strengthening its brand image in the Asia market, particularly in Hong Kong.“I am very excited that Max Mara’s new flagship store is opening in the center of perhaps Hong Kong’s most prestigious and busy location, Central. The store is the spearhead of our strategy for Hong Kong and the Asia market, and its mission is to showcase the world of Max Mara at its best, with its full scope for consumers from all over the world” remarked Mr. Luigi Maramotti, Chairman of Max Mara.
