Recycled Loop Concept:Seamlessly blend sustainability, technology, and experiential retail concepts
The collaboration between the Musee brand and AntiStatistics Architecture has launched a series of brand-new stores, aiming to reflect the brands focus on the integration of retail and design, art and innovative digital construction. The flagship store for the fashion brand MUSÉE in Beijing's Wukesong Mall is an embodiment of elegance, sustainability, and innovation. Inspired by the concept of a personal luxury museum for the urban woman, the design seamlessly blends recycled elements with contemporary aesthetics to create an innovative shopping experience. The innovation of the flagship store design for MUSÉE lies in its seamless integration of sustainability, technology, and experiential retail concepts.
The interior design concept is expressed through a geometric loop through the space, symbolizing both the cyclical nature of fashion and the brand's commitment to sustainability through the upcycling of luxury goods. A consistent wood band framework serves as the foundation, evoking warmth and timelessness while tying together the spaces of the store and drawing visitors through the upcycled collection. Within this framework, innovative display systems and art experiences come to life, seamlessly integrated with 3D-printed woven textures and stainless-steel metal art walls from a modular loop system.
Drawing inspiration from the brand's French namesake, the store embodies the essence of a museum, where each handbag and jewelry piece is showcased as a work of art. Through meticulous research and creativity, the design team has curated a space that not only showcases luxury fashion but also fosters meaningful interactions between customers and the brand.
