Working with architects Neri&Hu, the South Korean brand developed a continuous lattice structure of slender brass filaments that run throughout the 1,949-square-metre, five-storey space.

The luxury retail concept was inspired by the soft glow of Oriental lanterns, which was further explored through a series of large mirror volumes and custom furnishings placed within the wooden facades.

The space aims to create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere for shoppers. Visitors can sip on a cup of fragrant herbal tea as they browse the store, while VIP customers can enjoy the use of two on-site spas.

‘We aspired to create a space that appeals to all of the senses, that captures the customer immediately as they approach the building, creates an experience that continues to unfold during the journey through the store and leaves a strong impression with visitors long after they have left,’ the architects said in a statement.
