Mainie is a new enterprise that melds Central Australian Dreamtime with the Silk Road. Traditional artworks applied to artisan silk make for a luxury range of garments. This kiosk is Mainie’s first foray into a permanent branded retail outlet, previously relying on stockists & temporary sites to build the business. The design brief required modularity as a foundation for the design to be repeated across various future locations.

The colours of the softly draping silk garments rest against textured timber laminate and polished timber dowel. Frameless showcases house boxed gifts and precious jewellery illuminated by miniature stem lighting. Carefully crafted details reflect the artistry of the garments.
