Italian eyewear giant Marcolin officially inaugurated its new London showroom recently with a grand opening.

Located next to the celebrated Old Street Roundabout inside a network of historic and renovated warehouse-style buildings called Old Street Yard, Marcolin’s new showroom was designed by Milan-based design firm – Navone Associati.

The space is described as “a flexible and elegant working environment” – and includes offices and a large exhibition space dedicated to the brands in Marcolin’s portfolio.

The opening ceremony was attended by guests including members of the British press, customers, partners and institutions.

Guests had the opportunity to enjoy an immersive experience and discover Marcolin’s craftsmanship firsthand, thanks to the presence of a ‘creative room’ dedicated to design and prototyping.

“We are proud to open the doors of our new UK headquarters, located in the iconic Old Street area in the heart of London’s innovation economy,” said Stephan Hinkerode, head of northern EMEA at Marcolin.

“This showroom, which follows our recent openings in Paris and New York, will play a strategic role in further strengthening our sales presence in UK. It also provides an invaluable space to connect and collaborate with our customers in the UK but also in markets such as DACH and Nordics.”

The Marcolin Group has a global network of 15 subsidiaries worldwide, in Europe (Benelux, DACH, France, Italy, Nordics, Portugal, Spain, UK), the Americas (US, Brazil, Mexico), Asia (Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore) and Australia (Sydney), one joint venture (UAE) and more than 150 international distribution partners.
