Mulberry has recently opened its new Edinburgh store, designed by Universal Design Studio.
The larger, two-storey location, also on Multrees Walk, has an optimised layout, updated design scheme and increased product offering. The space was designed to focus on creating a fluid connection between the store design and Mulberry’s dedication to craftsmanship; using tactile, natural materials and sophisticated references to form and function.
Natural materials like timber, limestone and brass provide tactility and warmth. The brass motif remains throughout the store as an homage to one of Mulberry’s signature materials, while the use of oak also remains, as a subtle link to the brand’s rural roots.
A destination area for ready-to-wear and footwear is positioned at the back of the ground floor, a new addition to the previous product offering in Edinburgh. This more luxurious and formal space is distinguished by dark carpet flooring and a new textured, polished plaster wall that features a pattern derived from traditional timber-framed houses.
Universal Design Studio is a multidisciplinary team of architects, interior designers and industrial designers based in London. The Studio takes a consistent, holistic approach to spatial design and interior architecture and offers a profound understanding and interpretation of the full range of creative possibilities.
