Innovation for a new generation: the new concept for the Marc O’Polo flagship store opens the doors to a new sense of retail well-being.

After more than a decade, time had come for a completely new redesign.

The result is now on view in the very heart of Munich—between Theatinerstraße and the Fünf Höfe. Inside the new world of Marc O’Polo, the layout of the rooms, the interior design and lighting are choreographed to communicate ‘Nordic lifestyle’ and highlight the philosophy of the company with Swedish roots: urban, modern, casual.
The feeling of visiting a modernized, historic apartment building soon takes over after entering the store through its two-storey entranceway.

Once immersed in this world, all 800 sqm instantly communicates a love for detail. Scandinavian designer furniture, high ceilings, carefully combined items like suitcases, photos, books and large, unexpected objects all bring the store to life: the lifestyle of the urban nomad.

The lighting concept merits special attention: reflecting off the black Nero Assoluto floor are 16,000 LED lights forming the atrium ceiling, which modulates its intensity according to daytime brightness.

Inside the changing rooms, customers are bathed in a golden light and over 300 LED lights share space with a six-meter tall waterfall of Tobias Grau lamps.

Here nothing is left to chance, and no later than entering the men’s world through the dressing room are the borders blurred between the retail world and the world of experience.

Sustainability is the priority and company mission of Marc O’Polo and dan pearlman, and is also evident in this project’s careful use of long-lasting, energy efficient and high quality, natural materials. Here specialized retail concepts are coupled with environmental responsibility.
