introducing a completely new store concept

Concrete Amsterdam designed the first Steve Madden brand store in the Westfield Mall of the Netherlands, introducing a completely new store concept. This innovative design draws inspiration from the brand’s history and its deep-rooted connection to New York City, using the urban rooftop landscape as a starting point to create a bold and immersive retail environment. 

The design of the new generation of Steve Madden stores is deeply rooted in the brand’s heritage as a bold and revolutionary lifestyle label. The store concept reflects the sense of freedom found above the city’s crowded streets, an escape where the new cosmopolitan life takes place. Inspired by the urban rooftop landscape of New York City, the space becomes more than just a retail environment; it is a place for the unique, a place where every unique personality, item, and collection, can be expressed and celebrated.

inspired by the urban roofscape of new york city

A series of aluminum towers, reminiscent of NYC rooftops, form the foundation of the store’s display concept. Customers are invited to explore the city from above, navigating between these abstract rooftops, where each shoe is showcased on its own unique platform, highlighting each item and the diversity of Steve Madden’s collection. The aluminum displays are modular, allowing for dynamic arrangements that adapt to each collection, whether seasonal, sale, or standard

sculptural chandeliers positioned like they’re in motion, as an ode to the Statue of Liberty

Lighting plays a crucial role in shaping the experience. Two sculptural chandeliers, positioned as if in motion, serve as a nod to the Statue of Liberty, reinforcing the store’s concept of freedom. Full-height digital screens, designed as abstract pillars, display campaign visuals that capture the vibrant energy of New York’s streets.
