Shenzhen-based architecture and interior design practice Studio 10 has designed a fashion store combining different hues of green color with reflective surfaces in Shenzhen, China.

Named Geijoeng Concept Store, the 120-square-metre store is located was designed for a Chinese minimalist womenswear brand Geijoeng, and it has recently opened its doors in Coastal City. 

The studio designed a vivid interior space exploring the interactivity between materials, light transmission, refraction, reflection, and fabric. 

By using the program of the interior and different layering of green materials and surfaces of reflective, translucent materials, the designers combined Kvadrat RafSimons’s green velour curtain with calibrated artificial lighting.

"Studio 10 wishes to create rich spatial hierarchy and ghostly spatial dimensions that coincides with Geijoeng’s minimalist and euphoric essence while contrasting with their Fall/Winter Collection of silk, wool, cashmere, velvet, and other rich texture of heavy textile," said the firm.

"The entrance corridor and window display are paved with glass bricks, beneath it vaguely peeks the Geijoeng greyish-green paint, the combination of the semi-reflective glass wall, half glass brick wall in the background and mirrored dropped ceiling illudes new compositions and projections of the space."

Through the corridor, passing the glass brick wall and into the store, channel glass is used along the walls, behind it lies silver mirrored material allowing hints of green to refract and reflect throughout the space. 

The acrylic-tube- enclosed fitting room is placed carefully in the middle of the space in the same manner of that of a small stage, inside it hangs the green velour curtain to ensure privacy as well as exuding performance like purposes; when the curtain is opened, the interior and exterior of the fitting room is faintly visible creating theatrical effect and drama.

All garment hanging system is made of custom frosted acrylic rods connected with silver scaffolding metal joint that are highly adjustable and adaptable. 

The acrylic rods are set in a green marble base, which vary in size depending on their functionality as some are used as a display stand, bench or storage platform.

The interior flooring is paved with custom greyish-green terrazzo embedded with large dark green and white marble aggregate, embodying the brand’s determination in material and craftsmanship.

The client team GEIJOENG worked closely with Studio 10 throughout the design and execution of the project.
