Founded in 2008 in New York, Sergio Mannino Studio is an award-winning architectural branding agency renowned for its retail design and branding expertise.

With a strong foundation in Italian Design and aesthetics, the studio has gained international recognition by completing over 250 global projects, often featured in prestigious magazines, books, and blogs throughout Europe, China, and the United States.

The studio is fueled by a deep passion for creating unique spaces that capture the spirit of our time and reflect the ideas of the society we dream of, combining Italian Design culture and aesthetics with a contemporary international twist.

Under the leadership of Sergio Mannino, the studio is composed of a dedicated team of architects, interior designers, graphic designers, and branding consultants.

While initially focused on retail design, the studio has diversified its portfolio in recent years, engaging in various residential, branding, and furniture design ventures.

The best projects undertaken by the studio are those that ventured into uncharted territory, where we initially lacked any prior experience. This is because it forced us to bring ideas from different areas, resulting in unique and innovative projects. Sergio Mannino
