Los Angeles studio 22RE<\/a>\u00a0has designed a store<\/a> interior for lifestyle brand Malbon Golf on Melrose Place, which features heavy use of cherry wood and several subtle nods to the sport.<\/p>\n

The 1,800-square-foot (167-square-metre) Malbon<\/a> flagship draws references from LA’s Art Deco and modernism heritage, as well as subtle nods to golfing.<\/p>\n

\"BoutiqueCherry wood panels line the interiors of the Malbon Melrose boutique<\/p>\n

22RE<\/a> took a residential approach to the material and lighting selection.<\/p>\n

“Designed to evoke a classic clubhouse, the store unfolds as a sequence of three distinct spatial zones, leaning into a domestic intimacy that reframes a traditionally commercial space,” said the studio.<\/p>\n

\"AA lounge area includes looping metal clothes rails and pale-green upholstered seating<\/p>\n

From the entrance, shoppers are led up a patterned stone staircase into the foyer, where there is a tiered spiral display table and custom furniture.<\/p>\n

“The palette centres on Costa Esmeralda stone and rich cherry wood, balancing comfort with a quiet sense of glamour,” said 22RE.<\/p>\n

\"ShoesShoes and accessories are displayed on softly illuminated shelves on either side of a built-in bench<\/p>\n

Three additional green-stone steps and an integrated ramp rise to a central “living room” space, where shoes and accessories are presented on softly illuminated shelves.<\/p>\n

Bespoke metal display rails feature spiral details to invoke the spin of a golf ball as it soars through the air or rolls across the green.<\/p>\n

\"AIn the back room, cherry screens allow views out to plant-filled atriums<\/p>\n

Built-in benches, hexagonal stools and low wooden pedestals are all topped with pale-green furry fabric that emulates the trimmed grass of a fairway.<\/p>\n

In the back room, the side walls are replaced with latticed cherry screens that allow views to plant-filled atriums, while a faceted cove ceiling presides over a centrally positioned vitrine for displaying smaller accessories.<\/p>\n

The changing rooms continue the early 20th century residential aesthetic through high-gloss lacquer, geometric relief panels, chamfered edges and cove lighting.<\/p>\n

“Taking cues from European Art Deco and early Frank Lloyd Wright<\/a>, 22RE illuminates and aligns form, scale, and materiality with the architecture,” the studio said.<\/p>\n

\"AThe changing rooms feature high-gloss lacquer, geometric relief panels, chamfered edges and cove lighting<\/p>\n

Lighting throughout the store is a combination of vintage designs by Bruno Munari, Vico Magistretti, Lisa Johansson Pape and Paavo Tynell, along with contemporary pieces from Kelly Wearstler<\/a> and Henrii<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The result is a retail environment that feels rooted, local, and softly luxurious \u2013 honouring the heritage of Melrose Place and the history of golf in Los Angeles, while expressing Malbon’s contemporary identity.”<\/p>\n

22RE’s previous store designs for Malbon Golf in the US include the Miami location lined in pale-green stucco<\/a> and the Carmel-by-the-Sea outpost featuring scalloped walls and tiled floors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Led by principal Dean Levin, the studio has also completed 1970s-influenced offices for a music agency<\/a> and a creative workplace in the former studio of artist Ed Ruscha<\/a> since it was founded in 2021.<\/p>\n
