Retail
Reconnect

L
ATELY, THE SENTIMENT seems to be society's desire
to reconnect with what is raw and essential. At retail,
this can be achieved by maintaining a reduced and
often natural palette of materials to express the essence
of the place. An intrinsic harmony of materials and color
should evoke quality and resonate in a meaningful way with
consumers. Brands moving into new markets should look
to incorporate locally relevant cultural and design elements.

1. Crossover Spaces
[2]
The crossover of retail interiors into domestic settings and vice versa is
now trending. Minimal and streamlined, this collection from Luceat
marries the growing demand for versatile modular pieces ideal for
retailers and homes in a selection of brushed or polished, brass or
copper-a piece that brings a touch of glamorous modernity to any space.
2. Geometric Effect
At first sight both primitive yet considered, a geometric bamboo
scaffold structure frames the space here at Matsuya Ginza department
store in Tokyo. By contrast, a back wall in a painterly blue linen,
inspired by traditional Japanese indigo plant dye, provides a dramatic
backdrop. Seating is an ode to iconic Mijama Watergate, while carpet
flooring and pared back brass, timber and glass display cabinets give a
contemplative feel.
3. Distinctive Materials
Manolo Blahnik's first Malaysian store in Kuala Lumpur's bustling
Pavilion Mall is distinctive for its use of dark smoked bamboo
silhouetted on a white backdrop, sensuous brass horizontal shelf
supports and shelves, and a gray marble leaf chevron pattern.

4. Out of the Ordinary
For candy brand Spun's original London store, something out of the
ordinary was called for. The overall effect is part laboratory, part
wonderland, with geometric containers made from copper pipes and
steel and glass drums echoing an atomic structure set against matte
and gloss bistro-tiled walls.
5. Stand Out
Standing out in Selfridges' formidable shoe galleries and among the
world's most revered brands is no small task. But this Manolo Blahnik
space carves out a niche for itself with the feel of an elegant Georgian salon
reflected in the light gray abstracted frame, black timber back recess,
geometric brass inlay 'S' shapes and brass-edged black marble shelves.
