In one of the most famous streets of Athens, in the luxurious downtown area of Kolonaki, the Malvez showroom has opened his doors, at the end of May 2019. The architects have divided the space in three distinct zones. The central one, where the impressive chevron dionysos and parnonas marble pavement lays, is dedicated to the reception. The main showroom area, on the left of the entrance, consists of the meeting zone, the products displays, custom made designed for the brand, and the winter garden. On the right, the owner’s atelier, the place where the procedure of creating bags, clutches and other accessories takes place, is based. At the back the kitchen and the WC, consist the service area of the showroom. The design is inspired by the Mediterranean style in all its aspects. From the white of the Greek architecture, to the colours of Marrakesh and finally to the pink of the south Italy and France, this space recalls summer memories. The arcs created in the curtain wall are also an element which can be found in the typical small houses of the Cyclades, but also in the Moroccan religious buildings. On the other hand, the curved perimeter walls- made by plaster- have been fluted to resemble Greek Doric columns, while the slight touch of salmon pink in the entrance door and in the private zone, gives to the space the female elegance, which the firm, represents.
