incorporating the contemporary and metropolitan elements of miami the oliver peoples boutique features crisp colors, mirrors, colored long haired fleece, laminate and steel. the design is inspired by a laboratory space with a long center table and stools, while shelves extend through a wall resembling safety deposit boxes – some closes and some open to showcase the eyewear. ‘the store fits the vernacular of miami and the sophisticated and bold aesthetics of the brand. the white facade compliments the contemporary and metropolitan imprint of the store,’ says britt moran and emiliano salci of dimore studio.
