The design team and fashion boutique SND have created a space that transports visitors to a distant memory of iron and sand in the midst of a bustling city.
A grand, immaculate dune evokes an otherworldly atmosphere, detached from the modern world and providing a serene escape from the urban chaos. It creates a pristine white stage against a pitch-black backdrop, displaying the collections of clothing like precious treasures and luring visitors to embark on an exploration.
The design team's main focus was to craft a distinctive spatial encounter within an already-existing building. By making use of the existing floor height, they managed to obscure the main retail area beneath the dune and create a large-scale structure that results in an immersive and profound atmosphere reminiscent of ancient times.
