An Architectural Vessel for Stillness and Design
In the heart of Shanghai, where the urban pace is relentless, we have carved out a sanctuary of quietude. Not merely a retail destination; it is an architectural experience conceived as a vessel—not just for objects, but for tactility, movement, and pause.
The Philosophy of the Vessel
Rather than treating a store as a backdrop for decoration, we approached the design as a sensory journey. The space is a dialogue between soft curves and precise lines, where the architecture does not demand attention but invites exploration.
The material speaks quietly. From the raw texture of the stone counters to the sterile, polished sheen of the display surfaces, every element is chosen to be experienced through the body.
A Moment of Stillness
The interior layout challenges the traditional retail flow. Key features of the Shanghai space include:
- The Black Sphere: A central "void" that grounds the room, acting as a focal point of gravity and visual silence.
- The Dalmatian Installation: A surrealist nod to life and scale, bridging the gap between high-concept art and the physical retail environment.
- Material Contrast: The juxtaposition of industrial metal fixtures against organic, woven textile art and textured concrete.
Design Reduced to Essence
We believe that when you strip away the unnecessary, you are left with the essential. The lighting is not just functional; it defines movement, guiding the eye across the deliberate placement of leather goods and accessories.
In this space, we have shaped a store that feels less like a shop and more like a moment of stillness within the city. It is a testament to our core belief: Material-led. Space-driven.
