"I hired Brian and his team to help me design and create beautiful, inviting and comfortable retail shoe stores across the country. Marmi stands apart from all the other stores in their centers and I can't thank Brian and his team enough. The whole process was easy, fun and extremely enjoyable.”

Todd Wolff, Owner
Marmi and Wolff Shoe

Marmi is a family business that has been around for more than 100 years. In recent years the fourth generation of leadership has taken the helm and during this period of time the decision was made to begin transitioning out of the lesser performing shopping malls and begin to transition their business model from shopping malls to more exclusive retail centers and lifestyle centers. Marmi was acutely aware that the trend in retail has been moving away from shopping malls and moving towards retail or lifestyle centers.

Marmi's design goals were simply to provide their customers a high end shopping experience in a distinctly updated Marmi space. To minimize cost and bridge the customers experience from the mall to the retail center their existing store fixtures and some of the furniture were re-used. A muted light color finish palate was selected so as not to upstage the stars of the show which are obviously “the shoes.”
