Founded only in 2017 by Henrik Berg, a Stockholm-based entrepreneur with a mixed Swedish-Spanish heritage, men’s shoe brand MORJAS has gone leaps and bounds. Following successful online sales, the retailer entered the Swedish capital’s retail arena with a brick-and-mortar store. Aptly called Casa MORJAS, the retail space occupies a 92 sqm. (990 sq.ft.) unit on the ground floor of a 19th-century residential building, featuring a collaborative interior design by Berg and architect Victor Ingmo Magnergård of local practice IMDA Studio. The design codes, inspired by MORJAS‘ Swedish-Spanish roots, sees a range of warm natural materials, including travertine flooring, lacquered mahogany panels, and custom-designed furniture captured in stone, wood, and wrought iron. Adding a lifestyle element to the retail space is a full-fledged café, at the back of the store, serving coffee, other beverages and tapas. Interestingly, along with the new retail space, the branding has been revamped. The newly opened Casa MORJAS carries the brand’s full range of handmade men’s shoes and boots.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
