Luxury Retail Transformation – Madison Avenue, NYC
This 650 sq. ft. retail project on Madison Avenue was led by SCHARLY DESIGNER STUDIO®, acting as both design lead and final decision-maker. The challenge: transform a former barbershop into a high-end French leather boutique, marking the brand’s first U.S. showroom, following successful flagships in Paris and Japan.
To honor the site’s legacy, select original millwork was preserved and thoughtfully integrated into the new concept, creating a dialogue between past and present. In contrast, custom-designed modern elements—including a sleek central counter and refined window displays—were introduced, adding sophistication while maintaining architectural balance.
The result is a luxurious yet contextual retail space that elevates the customer experience and reinforces the brand’s international identity within a prestigious Manhattan location.
