Maroni Store is the window of everyone with a sense of zeitgeist. It is the meeting point between the past with its vintage assortments, the present and the future by being concerned about our environment. It is where you can find cheap and expensive products which makes it a destination and a meeting space for all social classes. It is where beginners and professionals meet, which helps new talents to be recognised and start their career as creative designers, artists, musicians, authors and cooks.

It is a shopping space as well as a cultural and social space located in Badenerstrasse 156 Zurich, switzerland.

The Maroni Vintage Store outpost first opened its doors in January 2019 as a vintage fashion and accessories store. Co-founded by three partners (Marc René Nievergelt, Roland Kessler and Nina Rosenberger) who form the current team that works in the store, plus me as a freelance art director. The expansion of the store is in process to include two other sections (café and gallery).

The Maroni vintage store is part of a bigger business concept that puts our environment first by reusing second hand products. The idea is to encourage people and direct them to appreciate and enjoy second hand products by making their experience in the store very interesting and inspiring and that is by creating a link between art, fashion, music and food along with the idea of reusing second hand products that have an artistique value. The store is bringing to light the values that used/vintage pieces have, the uniqueness that can add to us and more importantly the role that used/vintage pieces and welcoming ecological and sustainable ideas in our spaces would play in protecting our environment. In order to do that, we chose the best designs and resell them. We have a gallery space where talented new artists, artisans, musicians and fashion designers can show their work. We also have a bar with drinks and snacks, all the cutleries and the furniture are second hand/vintage.
