Jimmy Choo Miami Design District — Venetian Plaster Walls & Ceilings

Soft cream Venetian plaster wraps the boutique’s walls and ceilings in one continuous hand-troweled surface — quiet enough for the collection, precise enough for Miami’s Design District light.

The project

The Marmorine finished the interior walls and ceilings in Venetian plaster in Jimmy Choo’s boutique at 165 NE 41st Street in the Miami Design District. Opened in 2024 as the brand’s third Miami store, the boutique nods to the city’s Art Deco roots with curved architectural details, green fluted bases, tropical planting and a Pierre Paulin statement sofa against white oak floors.

Against that material mix, the plaster reads as one pale, seamless plane: walls that carry the floating shelves and cove light, and ceiling surfaces that hold track lighting without the flat look of paint.

Why Venetian plaster on walls and ceilings

Venetian plaster is built up in thin layers of lime and marble and compacted by hand, so it reflects light with depth rather than a painted sheen. On a retail sales floor, that softness keeps cove lighting, spotlights and storefront daylight from reading harsh, and it keeps long curved walls visually continuous.

Kept cream and fine-textured, the finish stays in the background: a refined mineral surface that complements the white oak, the green fluted bases and the merchandise instead of competing with them.

Finishing a Design District boutique

Luxury retail interiors are finished around millwork, lighting, sprinklers and fixtures on a fixed opening schedule. We sequence plaster carefully, protect adjacent finishes and hold a consistent standard from the first wall to the final ceiling pass.
