Sergio Mannino Studio is a leading retail store design firm that operates internationally. Through our extensive network of partners and consultants, we can take a project from preliminary brainstorming through construction virtually anywhere. (We have recently completed projects in China, Italy, Canada, California, Texas, Hawaii, and New York.) Design Philosophy We seek to create *snap* moments. You know: those split-second epiphanies that serve to bring about a change in how one perceives the world. We do not just design for these moments, we live for them -- moments of clarity that are often sparked by a song, a scent, a memory, a whisper of color, a ray of light moving through a pane of glass. It is our goal, in every project, to create something that meets people where they are and then speaks to them in transcendental ways. When something we've created inspires a split-second *snap* -- we know we've done our job. - Specialties We hesitate to define ourselves - and, really, who doesn't? It's limiting: putting parameters around what you can do tends only to create a fence that separates you from all the other possibilities. We are a collection of young architects, designers and creative thinkers who bring disparate ideas together to create places and objects that surprise, enlighten and inspire. While our strongest experience lies in the fashion retail world, we believe that our ideas translate to any design challenge.
