Sophie Hicks sets Acne Studios' flagship identity in the concrete jungle

Image
NEW YORK – Sophie Hicks repours the concrete concept of Acne Studios' flagship within the depths of the concrete jungle. First generating waves in Seoul's wealthy district of Gangnam, the minimal material palette of the London-based architect's Korean flagship sinks into the West Village. Situated away from the city's established retail areas and amid the neighbourhood setting of Horatio Street, the clean-lined interior transcends its residential building casing, instead offering a stripped back and raw aesthetic worthy of a luxurious elevator.  A polished concrete floor is topped with partitions of brushed stainless steel and fittings illuminated by lights which filter through walls of frosted glass. A single rail runs around the store's perimeter, effectively limiting the number of garments to be displayed at one time, allowing each item to breathe and take centre stage.  Aside from statement pieces, the o...

Scandinavian design

Image
The term Scandinavian design emerged in the 1950s to describe design from the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. It is a design movement characterized by simplicity, minimalism and functionality. The Lunning Prize, awarded to outstanding Scandinavian designers between 1951 and 1970, was instrumental in both making Scandinavian design a recognized commodity, and in defining the profile of Scandinavian design. Since 2006, the tradition of a pan-Nordic design award has been resumed with the Forum AID Award. The idea that beautiful and functional everyday objects should not only be affordable to the wealthy, but to all, is a core theme in the development of modernism and functionalism. This is probably most completely realized in post-WWII Scandinavian design.
