ES_MORE: a dual-store concept by Milan-based ZIMMER Studio

 

Designed by Milan-based ZIMMER Studio, a dual-store concept in Palma de Mallorca explores new approaches to multibrand retail through a precise use of materials and spatial contrast. ES_MORE combines tactile finishes, sculptural forms, and an interplay between art and fashion. The project is composed of two distinct yet conceptually connected spaces: one dedicated to womenswear and the other to menswear. Each store was conceived to reflect the brand’s refined identity, offering a unique and immersive retail experience rooted in material expression and spatial storytelling.

Two connected spaces dedicated to womenswear and menswear

 

The womenswear store is defined by a serene and intimate atmosphere. Neutral-toned textured walls create a soft visual backdrop, while a warm ceiling made of woven rattan and wood envelops the space, adding a domestic, almost tactile quality. A modular bookshelf runs along one side, hosting both fashion items and curated artworks in collaboration with L21 Gallery, establishing a thoughtful dialogue between fashion and contemporary art. The clothing racks, lightweight structures suspended from a system of rods and local stone counterweights, emphasize suspension and airiness, key themes throughout the space. Even the structural columns have been reinterpreted with sculptural interventions that balance aesthetics and function. In contrast, for the menswear store, designers at ZIMMER Studio compose a bolder, more tactile identity. Brick becomes the protagonist of the space, particularly in a large feature wall placed opposite a mirror, which visually expands the store and intensifies the interplay of texture and light.

Heritage meets contemporary in furniture and materials

 

Materials were selected for their raw and authentic feel, reinforcing the space’s sense of solidity and character. The coffered ceiling serves as a diffused lighting source, providing an even glow across the room. Wood is used in two contrasting finishes: smooth planes that highlight the architectural lines, and hand-carved wooden elements that introduce artisanal details and a sense of craftsmanship. Both environments are unified through the inclusion of iconic furniture pieces, such as the Spanish Chair by Børge Mogensen, which reinforce the project’s balance between heritage and contemporary design. The entire concept is grounded in a meticulous material selection process and a sensitivity to spatial rhythm, with every element, custom or curated, playing a role in shaping an elevated and emotionally resonant shopping experience.
