BONIA Mahkota by DualSpace Studio
A considered exploration of materiality and craft, BONIA Mahkota by DualSpace Studio translates the brand’s leather heritage into a contemporary retail interior defined by quiet luxury, tactile refinement and architectural poise.
The interior is conceived as an extension of BONIA’s craftsmanship, balancing modern restraint with subtle detailing that encourages interaction. Stainless steel shelving integrates seamlessly with custom leather trays, establishing a dialogue between precision and tactility. Mirrored backrests and dual-function display tables invite touch, dissolving the distance between product and visitor. Even the smallest elements contribute to the narrative: cabinet hardware references bag fittings, while translucent resin handles provide a counterpoint that is both unexpected and refined.
The store’s façade reimagines conventional retail frontage with a composition of articulated sliding panels. Inspired by classic European windows, the panels mediate openness and enclosure, offering both solar protection and a nuanced sense of layering. The gesture introduces a sense of continuity between the exterior and interior, positioning the store as both inviting and composed.
Within, the flooring sets a measured tempo through a two-tone palette, grounding the interior while introducing gentle variation. Neutral walls and restrained finishes form a canvas for accentuated interventions. At the heart of these is a dedicated alcove adjacent to the fitting rooms: wrapped in saturated orange-red tones, with a reflective ceiling and bold striped seating, the intimate retreat contrasts with the otherwise muted palette, infusing warmth and unexpected character.
Moments of precision unfold throughout the store. A bespoke seating element with a mirrored stainless steel backrest amplifies light and movement, extending the perception of depth. A coffee table that doubles as a display drawer presents small leather goods in an accessible, tactile arrangement — a deliberate departure from distant vitrines. These gestures reinforce the intent to align the retail environment with the very qualities of the products it houses: crafted, touchable and enduring.
Every transition is considered, every detail purposeful. Neutral foundations allow stainless steel and leather to converse with clarity, while carefully placed accents ground the experience in intimacy. The interior operates with measured restraint, ensuring that luxury is neither imposed nor overstated. Instead, it emerges through the nuanced layering of craft, material exploration and spatial choreography.
BONIA Mahkota is less a stage for retail performance than an environment for quiet discovery. By reinterpreting heritage through contemporary expression, DualSpace Studio has created a store that allows luxury to be felt in detail, material and atmosphere — a refined expression of a brand’s legacy translated into architectural form.
