Marni Flower Café

Anticipating spring, bright colors, scenic prints, and harmonius combinations of shapes an materials, enliven this Marni concept store, just opened in a department store in Osaka.

In Japan, on the third floor of the Umeda Hankyu Department Store in Osaka, Marni breathes life into a new concept store created to offer its guests a meeting place where they can enjoy Italian products, purchase flowers and other products, and immerse themselves in a lively ambiance with bright colours and scenic prints.

The space spans across a surface area of 50 square metres, in which each element relates with others by the harmonious balance of shapes, materials, and colours.

To welcome customers, there is a counter in green onyx and colourful metal sheets and braided PVC stools. For those who wish to stay longer there is the comfortable, soft, blue velvet sofa with painted wood. Or why not take a seat at the small tables made in brass and green marble? The tables come in different shapes and play with the geometry of the inlaid work in marble and terrazzo floor in wood. A key element in the architecture of the Café and representation of the concept itself, the iconic Marni miniature house that can be found in the furnishings as well as the logo.

The inauguration features a spring picnic, starring wooden lunchboxes, colourful furoshiki, thermoses, floral bags, PVC vases and a porcelain set decorated with designs from the Marni archive.
