Sergio Mannino Studio

Sergio Mannino Studio is a New York-based architectural branding agency founded in 2008. We work at the intersection of brand identity and physical space, treating retail environments, commercial interiors, and brand systems as a single design problem rather than separate disciplines.

Our guiding principle is Form Follows Emotions: the conviction that how a space or brand makes someone feel is the primary design decision, not an afterthought. This shapes every project, from a full store concept to a multi-location rollout to a complete brand identity.

The studio brings together architects, interior designers, graphic designers, and brand strategists in one cross-disciplinary team. Brand strategy and spatial design develop simultaneously, which means the identity, materiality, spatial sequence, and customer experience are resolved together. The result is environments where the brand and the room are indistinguishable from each other.

Our work spans healthcare retail, cannabis dispensaries, specialty food and beverage, residential development, and consumer product brands. Projects range from single flagship locations to multi-market brand rollouts. Notable completed projects include Medly Pharmacy (Brooklyn, 2018), A.MANO Brooklyn retail store (Brooklyn), Soho Greenhouse cannabis dispensary (New York), Glam Seamless hair salon (Soho), and Health Choice Pharmacy (Brooklyn, 2026).

The studio is principal-led. Every project is designed by Sergio Mannino, who trained with Ettore Sottsass in Italy before establishing the studio in New York in 2001.
