The revered Miami Design District has welcomed an awe-inspiring architectural gem: Celine’s newest flagship store. Encompassing an expansive 380 square meters across two floors, this recently refurbished boutique seamlessly incorporates the visionary architectural blueprint envisioned by Hedi Slimane, a concept that has garnered global acclaim and implementation since 2019.
The Celine flagship store in Miami epitomizes a timeless and refined ambiance while exuding a distinctly modern allure, harmoniously blending natural and warmer elements. The interplay of natural stones like grey travertine, Arabescato, Grigio Carnico, and Grande Antique marbles with oak, brass, and antique gold mirrors culminates in an ensemble that bestows a sophisticated and elegant aura within the contemporary brutalist setting of the twenty-first century.
The boutique’s ground floor is dedicated predominantly to women’s leather goods and is complemented by the display of Celine’s fine jewelry, Maison, and haute parfumerie collections. Adorned with antique gold mirrors and accent lighting, this space cultivates an artistic ambiance, aligning seamlessly with the city’s artistic focal point. At the heart of the Maison Celine area stands a marble “perfume organ,” serving as the focal point, a testament to the brand’s dedication to precision. Intricately designed coffered ceilings strategically emphasize specific areas, adding a touch of opulence.
Within the boutique’s lounging spaces, an amalgamation of vintage and specifically crafted furniture pieces by Slimane graces the area. Each meticulously chosen furniture piece is strategically positioned to introduce a sculptural dimension and amplify the overall architectural magnificence, inviting visitors to unwind and immerse themselves in the world of Celine. Ascending to the second floor via a staircase adorned with mirrors and accent lighting treats visitors to a unique visual spectacle. Here, the entire Celine Homme collection is exhibited alongside women’s ready-to-wear. Showcased in glass and polished stainless-steel wall and floor displays, the Celine collections harmonize with a Basaltina floor tile grid. The use of lava stone flooring throughout creates a grounded and sophisticated sculpted interior.
Aligned with Celine’s dedication to art, the boutique showcases a diverse array of contemporary art pieces as part of the Celine Art Project. Visitors can marvel at paintings by acclaimed artists such as Simone Fattal, Maia Ruth Lee, and SoiL Thornton, as well as artworks by Elaine Cameron-Weir, Antonia Kuo, Eli Ping, Davina Semo, Marcelo Silveira, and Lucy Skaer. This art collection enriches the store’s ambiance, crafting a space where fashion and art seamlessly coalesce.
Celine’s latest flagship store in Miami’s Design District stands as an authentic masterpiece of architectural and design brilliance, transforming into an immersive experience that beckons visitors to delve into the realm of Celine, where fashion and art harmoniously intersect.
