Footwear brand Stuart Weitzman is in the midst of a world-wide rollout of a new showroom concept designed by Italian architect Fabio Novembre. The most recent showroom to receive the treatment makes its debut tonight in New York.

Located on 625 Madison Avenue, the renovated space boasts innovative ribbon-like shelving, made of Corian. Like a vine, the shelving extends upward and outward to wrap around walls. A crisp pallet of whites and cool blues serves as backdrop for items including shoes and handbags.

Stuart Weitzman has over 25 showrooms outside of the U.S. --  Novembre's concept has already been introduced to stores in Milan, Rome, Beijing, St. Tropez, and Capri.
