Marni’s Eclectic Style Shines Through Thanks to MEGAMAN
Marni’s Eclectic Style Shines Through Thanks to MEGAMAN Sybarite, an architecture and design practice which has a diverse portfolio of clients within the retail sector, has worked with Italian fashion house Marni over the past decade to create interior identities for the company’s stores worldwide.
