Sergio Mannino Studio

Sergio Mannino Studio is a New York based design firm envisioning retail spaces, interiors, and furniture for private and commercial environments. For Sergio Mannino design is all about passion, and being Italian, design is in his blood. Sergio believes that a successful design is greater than the sum of its parts. Having completed over 250 stores world-wide (from New York to Shanghai), he knows that interiors have to entice, excite, reassure, and accommodate a wide variety of desires and expectations. That’s where the firm’s multi-focused sensibilities come into play, utilizing lighting, furniture, installations, and customized flooring, Mannino hopes that his designs are as dynamic as life itself.

Sergio Mannino Studio is a retail store design firm with roots in Italian design and culture. The Studio is based in New York but operates on a global scale, having worked on over 250 stores for companies such as Prada, Miu Miu, Lexus, Vince Camuto, Jessica Simpson, Miss Sixty, Breil, Kensiegirl, Steve Madden among others. Through an extensive close network of consultants, store design projects can be taken from preliminary brainstorming to built form virtually anywhere.

Sergio Mannino, who heads the Studio, earned a degree in Architecture from the University of Florence with a thesis developed under the direction of Ettore Sottsass and Remo Buti. In 2002, once again under Sottsass’ mentorship, he mounted a one-man show of his furniture designs at the Memphis Gallery in Milan. In 2008 his “ooo! Lamp” was featured at the furniture fair in New York and nominated best pick of the ICFF by Metropolis magazine.

Most recently the Studio introduced the colorful and modular “Non-Flying Carpet” and the “Inside-Out” series at the New York show “Wanted Design” during the NYCxDesign week. The Studio work has been published numerous times in magazines, books and blogs in the US, Europe, China and South Korea.
